Don,
Yeah right. ; )

They were "Three Dog Night".

A three dog night is something completely different.
Three Dog Night
It will be a co~o~o~ld night tonight. The lows will be in the "three to four
dog range" with the windsreaching up to one or more.

As reported in the Aleutian Islands

The Eskimo tribes of Alaska determine temperature based upon how many dogs
they bring in to cuddle within order to stay warm throughout the night. The
Eskimos cherished their dogs as much as they did each other. They pioneered
the use of dog teams, as a means of motivation in some of the harshest and
foulest winter weather. Keeping their dogs running (literally) in the
wintertime was a necessity of life. So, if you really want to know how to
take care of your dogs for the winter, then you take them to an Eskimo for a
winter tune-up.
Tune-up your radio, and heed the "Call of the Wild" or domestic in our case.

Don,
It should be easy paying for the vet bills when people are covered by
your medical system.

Dogs are great family members, they don't run go to an expensive college
and suddenly know everything. Dog always love you. Dogs are great to
go boating with. Did I mention, dogs will love you no matter what.

Plus, if you get lost in the wilderness, they will help you keep warm. I
would think you could save some money on your heating bills by having
your dogs sleep with you on a cold winter night.

Have you ever heard of a "3 Dog Night"?


My dad told me about that band. Believe they were big in the '60s.

"Eskimo"??? We're a bit more politically correct up here.
We refer to the northern people as Inuit.

Yes, many, for example the terms Eskimos and Inuit for native northern
peoples: Eskimos is from the French Eskimaux [literally "flesh
eaters"]. Eskimo(s) is the term that was in use in the late 1800s and
early 1900s when most accounts of early expeditions were written. It
was not necessarily a derogatory term--the derogatory term would
probably be "Husky." To avoid confusion, most contemporary writers have
retained the name Eskimo when writing of early expeditions since this
was the term that was in use then. Inuit [literally "the People"] now
is the preferred name for native northern peoples. However, it should
be kept in mind that Inuit is plural and refers to a group. It is
incorrect to refer to one person as "an Inuit." It's possible to be
politically correct and grammatically incorrect!

Don,
In reality, it is an expression used by the Australian Aborigines. I found
the "Eskimo" reference to make it appropriate for you. See what happens, I
go out of my way to personalize it, and you slap me down. : )

OK, next time it is freezing, and you are on the verge of death. I hope you
don't have 3 dogs to save you.
