Sergey: It means a very cold night, if I am not mistaken :) On extremely cold nights, cowboys, who had to spend a night right on the ranch, had to share body heat with three dogs in order not to freeze.
Liliana: , Sergei
Sergey: What other dog idioms do you, guys, know? Might be interesting to learn a few...
Liliana: The dog's kennel is not the place to keep a sausage

Sergey: А вот, например, to call the dogs off - to stop critisizing or attacking someone... After long negotiations with the bank they agreed to to call the dogs off and let the owners refinance the loan on the house
Liliana: And I have found an interesting and disputable Portuguese proverb: a house without either a cat or a dog is the house of a scoundrel. What would you say to that?
