83 is about bottom end for ambient temp only so there could be truth in what Ax is telling you. I don't know about the whole puppy thing, but try to observe the respiration on the animal. If you can really see it breathing a lot, it is just appearing to be calm but is really scared out of its mind. If it is not breathing hard and the body is not stiff, it is probably "enjoying" being out for whatever reason. I have a big lesser girl that has acted in a similar fashion ever since I got her. She is not restless in her tub but when I enter the room she always comes to the front of the tub (probably looking for food). The neat thing is that when I crack open the tub she will come out, go up arm and around my neck and she will remain there until I get tired of carrying her heavy butt around. I have others that seem to enjoy being out but she is the only one that seems to be eager to be "friends".
