Talking of unsolicited ‘parental urges’ I have been noticing something else recently – as the weather has been getting colder my parents seem more and more keen for me to sit on their lap or lie by their sides. At first I thought it was a continuing part of the ‘calm’ training I have mentioned before – but it really is starting to reach an unmanageable peak – they steal my warmth and I don’t have a chance to be active and replenish myself. However, one other tactic against the cold my humans have employed comes in the form of sheepskin. I have long been a fan of M’s slippers but she has upgraded to knee-high ugg boots – which as yet I have not been allowed to share – to be honest I am not sure she has taken them off since they came home. But G, perhaps jealous of M’s fine new footwear, came home which a piece of sheepskin this afternoon and proceeded to cut out pieces to go into his Blunestone boots. The exciting part of this was that there were offcuts – which he gave to me!! Maybe I will make little slippers for my paws – NOT!!! – I think the bigger pieces are just more fun to play with.
I will leave the whole topic of clothes for dogs for another blog as well – I can see why humans put on coverings, having so little fur – but at this point I just think clothes on dogs looks silly – it makes me laugh when I see dogs with little coats at the park! But I know M and G have been worried about me in the winter with my short hair and my tendency to shiver – I think they have some outfits lined up for me and to keep them happy I suppose I will just have to give them a go.
