FASHION DOGS
Fall is here and winter is approaching fast. I love the cold, the wind, and the snow. I can remember last winter and can hardly wait for the first snowfall. I hope it is light and powdery so I can kick up white dust as I trudge along. At the moment I must be content with rustling the dried brown leaves; I love that crunching sound.
This winter I am a year older and a little slower physically. My constitution is worn a bit from my traumatic experience with my bleeding ulcer and my blood transfusion. I think that is why I do get a bit chilly now. A few weeks ago it was really cold and windy and I found myself shivering a little. Daddy Thom bought me a winter sweater. It is knit and of course, the color is fire engine red. It has a turtle neck and is actually quite stylish. What could be more striking that a perfectly spotted black and white Dalmatian in a flashy red sweater. I do like it, but I don't care for the fuss of putting it on and taking it off.
We read on Grani Frani's blog that my cousin, Bailey, is also sporting winter togs this year. She has a coat and it looks to me like she has a lot less trouble getting it off and on. I think she looks quite stylish too - kind of like a long-distance hiking dog. I used to be a long-distance walker myself, back in the day. I still get around well enough and my staff provides me with lots of stimulating adventures.
