Heating a horse stall for my dog?

Question

Due to some family issues, my Pomeranian will have to stay in the barn until December. It's not super cold, especially when the barn is closed up but he is a small dog and I'd like him to stay warm. Does anyone have any ideas? It needs to be safe so the barn won't burn down so I'm assuming a space heater is out of the question... What about a heat lamp? He's going to have saw dust and the outside doors to the stall will always be shut. I'll get him a bed and lots of blankets but what else would be good? The barn is fairly warm probably about 45-50 all the time but he is a small dog..

Pet supply stores sell heated dog beds you might want to consider that.  A dog house in the stall would be warmer than just having him in the stall.  Or even using his dog crate and putting it in the stall but so he can go in the crate if he wants.

I would rather use straw than saw dust.  The saw dust can cause respiratory problems.

Keep everything sealed tight and put lots of blankets and some soft stuffed animals for him to snuggle in, and so he wont feel alone. Also put lanterns and small lights and keep them in an open area and away from the sides.
