Remember we are in Texas! wink Not very cold in the daytime. But yeah, she actually does have a fleece vest, which is actually an old vest of mine with the sides pinned up. We just forgot to bring it! (left it in the car.. stupid, stupid). That probably would have helped a lot. Maybe I can try with just a CCF pad and the vest. She is pretty spoiled when it comes to padding - has a nice fluffy bed at home, or makes one out of a big pile of dirty clothes pulled out of the hamper, so I definitely need to get her some kind of pad.

She does not move around much at night normally, if she is comfortable. She did sit up a few times in response to nearby dogs barking (we weren't very far from civilization).
