Question Author
I am very grateful for your replies ,She loves being outdoors and is very annoyed when she has to come in ,as it has been so cold we have made sure that she is in much earlier but last night it was milder resulting in prolonging her stay outside.I should point out that our collie is indoors night times and sleeps in the front room where her bed is and normally has company untill the early hours,
I sat beside her when she was starting to be distressed last night ,stroking her etc, the response was very good ,resulting in a much better night for us all ,
Thank you all
