[Dailydrool] Cold and Coats

[Nancy]

Tina is always cold, too, and she wears her "dog blanket" most of the 
winter. I started out by just covering her up with it, like a real 
blanket, and then working into having her wear it. Now she runs right 
over to us to get it put on. Yes, Charlie tries to drag her around by 
it, so we have to holler at him occasionally. She wears it 24/7 in the 
winter, only has it off long enough for me to wash it. We've tried 
sweaters, but she hates them because they don't stay put if she moves.

It's two layers of fleece, so it's very warm and pretty light-weight. It 
goes on with two very adjustable velcro tabs. Tina is not a large basset 
(45 lbs) but she has an XL coat, mostly for the length. Here's a link, 
you have to click around a little to be sure the color and size you want 
are "in stock", but they do still carry them. Great coat for the price!

Here's a photo of Tina wearing her lavender blanket, on facebook, hope 
the link works . . .
