We often go to RV campgrounds where RV folks have two, three and even four dogs. Why would anyone need that many dogs to go camping? :)
It depends on how cold the nights get.....LOL! Ed calls our two his "leg warmers"

Have you ever heard the phrase "Three Dog Night"?
Here's where that originated regarding keeping warm.
....originated in the Australian outback or the northern reaches of North America with the Eskimos. The meaning, however, is quite clear. The phrase is a rudimentary nightly temperature gauge. Dogs huddled with humans at night for the warmth. On really cold nights, three dogs were called into the bed to keep the owner from freezing to death. The phrase was cemented in literature by Jane Resh Thomas’ book Courage at Indian Deep
Now if you google "Three Dog Night" all that comes up is the rock band of the same name!
