Ready for winter-finally. - YorkieTalk.com Forums

With the prospect of the weather changing soon I've been serching for decent winter coats. Its been a nightmare, nothing seamed to be the right size, if the length is right the girth is huge and if the girth is right the length to short. The only ones I could find to fit correctly were sooo expensive. But finally I found some on E-bay, just the right size so I'm now eagerly awaiting the arrival of two cute little duffle coats, oh plus a body warmer and new harness. Think I went a bit overboard.

Overboard??? What's that?

I don't think you went overboard at all. It's good to be prepared!

I'm curious - what's a body warmer?

diane boden · 09-19-2009, 10:50 AM

Hard to explain. Its like a quilted padded top, no sleeves, keeps your upper body warm but your arms free. The ones for women are called gilletts over here. Warm but comfy for working in. Hope that explains it.

lt's sounds like you and your furbutt are very well prepared. You can never go overboard for them, l love hearing how spoiled they are.

Haha I live in southeast Texas and it doesn't start getting cool(and by cool I mean like 60 degrees lol

) here to end of October at the earliest and end of November at the latest and I already have Teddy a jacket

The coats &body warmer arrived yesterday, still waiting for the harness.I hope I can get some photos too, but you should have seen her face when I put it on, its like ' oh not another'. So I undid the top press-stud And when I look again shes sitting really straight as though the queen of sheeba. Cant wait for the harness but looks like were going to have a postal strike-again- so dont know when that will arrive. I've been trying to re-size a coat I brought her earlier which was way too big. Hope it turns out right, sowing was never my best subject at school.

Overboard! Nah!!!

Don't feel bad, I've been buying sweaters, hoodies, pjs & coats since June! I live in Oklahoma and it can down right freezing cold in the winter time - we have been averaging about 1 - 2 ice storms each winter. So I call it preparing!!

I think I'd be the same if I could get Rosie to co-operate more, she really doesnt look happy about wearing clothing. Its so cute when she wears her pink harness on walks as everyone says ' Oh look it must be a little girl'. Very funny.
