My old camping companion( Lucy the red heeler ), was a champion camp guard,refusing to curl up in or under any protection,instead she constantly circled the camp site on full alert .My current camping companion ( Dingus the red Heeler) is also a champion camp guard,but he will lay and stay where I tell him.
An insulated mat is the best I can get by with for him though,he doesn’t want covered with a blanket or anything that impedes him
