This invention provides a pet enclosure designed to provide comfort for a pet
in the winter season. The pet enclosure provides for shelter by allowing the pet
to get out of the weather and then provides a warm bed to lie upon. This warm bed
is comprised of a rectangular rigid plastic container, similar to a tall, wide,
narrow gas can, which is recessed into the floor of the pet enclosure. An internal,
totally submersible aquarium type heater is utilized to keep the water solution
tank at a user-defined temperature. The tank is recessed into the floor and is
effectively insulated on five of its six surfaces. The remaining top surface is
covered by a fiber-filled pet bed. This bedding, when not compressed by the pet,
acts as an insulator, trapping the heat in the container. When the pet lies on
the bedding, the insulating value of the bedding is drastically reduced and the
heat travels through the bedding and the pet is warmed. This provides for a comfortable
warm area for the pet to enjoy on cold winter days.
