Winter fashion





Now I have brought up the topic of dog clothes before - my lack of enthusiasm has been noted. When I was a little puppy M made me a jumper out of one G's socks - that was ok except everyone thought it looked like a muscle top and laughed at me. But I have to say that M and G have won me over this time! I love my new driza-bone coat - I think I look pretty spunky and I feel warm and dry! Now I will consider going out in the rain and cold and to strut my stuff. G also has a drizabone and I think all eyes will be turning towards us next time we walk out together. We were chick-magnets before but now...!! The only potential downside is that G is obsessed with working out what will go in my pockets  - I am happy to carry some load - maybe a few poo bags - but only as long as it doesn't ruin the line of my coat - I don't want to look fat or bulky!! You would think that G would understand such things - I think he is a pretty snappy dresser but then again M thinks he always has mis-shapen pockets - in his jeans and jackets. Perhaps I will have a few sartorial lessons to teach him. I think M is on my side and G just needs to learn that pockets can just be about decoration they don't always need to be used. In a similar vein I also reject doggy backpacks. And note to M - don't think that jut because I agree with you on the pockets means that I will be getting into one of those lime knitted jumper things any time soon!

  1. You do look stylish Steve, though the pockets have got me worried. Just be very, very wary if anyone offers to take you fishing any time soon!

  2. Thanks Hugo - that is very useful advice. I think I will be getting M to sew those pockets shut!!

  3. Pockets or no, when midriff drizabones come back in fashion I'd like to borrow it please Steve.
