Apparently a lot of small dog breeds originated as an early precursor to hot water bottles in the fancier places. Court ladies would supposedly sleep with them under the bedding to keep them warm.
My little dog curls up on my lap all winter (when the winter realises the season and brings cold weather, anyway). In the summer, she’ll happily try to kick everyone off the sofa to spread out and stay cool. (She has a cooling mat on a cool floor, but says if it’s so comfortable, the humans can use it.)
I also know a lab, who says that if they have to shrink to be allowed under the bedding, they’ll do it.
What would humanity even do if these were never invented

Makes sense. My kitty’s snug requirements skyrocket in winter. We do be keeping each other warm tho.
