Dressed for success

There will be a few (Kelly Harris and Joan) who will immediately leap to the defense of the unsung hero of our household, saying that poor Juno, the down-trodden Rottweiler, doesn't receive enough press-time. But...c'mon! Did you SEE the picture?!? Oh my goodness...forget about the baby panda sneezing! Check out my dachshund wearing a panda hat and booties!

The astute observer might be able to detect just a smidge of disgust on my little dog's face but, as usual, she was an awful good sport. Winter can be cruel to her fuzzy little paws as we dig icicles from the fur between her toes. Booties are a much better alternative even though she walks as though she's wading through peanut butter.

Chlo's favorite winter activity is snow-blowing on the 4-wheeler with her daddy but, pragmatically-speaking, steering is precarious at best and Chlo is shivering within sixty seconds. Enter the handy-dandy, belly-busting, canine-covering (front) backpack! With a long-established reputation for detesting canine clothes of any kind, we nonetheless wrestled Chlo into her puppy pack. Once she was installed on the 4-wheeler, her attitude shifted dramatically into high gear.  Able to steer with both hands, Brad made short work of clearing the snow with his little buddy safely supervising him.

No...I have not gone over totally to the doggie dark side. Chlo will not be sporting designer duds or flaunting the latest fashions. She is a very down-to-earth dog. But where-ever her doggie dreams will take her, Chlo will be sensibly outfitted for the occasion.
