Dogs in coats

It was quite cold here Thursday night, especially for mid-November. The low up on the mountain Friday morning was 23 F. It had not warmed much by the time I took the dogs out for their morning walk. Lucy, who is small and shivers if she sees the refrigerator door open, wore her fleece-lined coat. Even Zeke, who is too big a galoot to notice things like cold weather, wore his coat.

It was not only cold, it was windy. Lucy was shivering from the very start, so we walked until Zeke did his business, and then turned around. This was the first time I can remember that we didn’t complete our morning walk once we had started.

Lucy makes a distinction between her raincoat and her fleece coat. She acts like she is paralyzed when we put her raincoat on, but I think she likes her fleece coat. She would probably like to wear it all the time.

  1. Robin — I think Lucy looks kind of funny in her coat. It’s so big her legs look like little toothpicks sticking out on the bottom. But I think she’s warm in it.
