I've been feeding and watering this very sweet girl for the past week or so. The people have her in a very old dog box with a little bit of straw and a towel. I wanted to take a blanket over to her for inside the box but I don't know which type is the best. I know that wool is not a good material because if it gets wet and then freezes it would be worse off. Any suggestions? We've been having some very cold days and worse nights so I want to put something in there for her today before her owner comes home tonight. TIA Tammy Actually, straw is good. But she might need more of it. The big thing is the "box" needs to be sheltered from the wind.
