I'm just afraid that -in a moment of Crazyness while playing with others- she'd break it...but I must try to do it...plus a good idea would be to make her a looong walk -super chase with Milo and playing for the whole afternoon- before put this collier on her, so she'd be enough tired!

Hi everyone- all 5 of my dogs have shoes, coats, shirts and sweaters. We live in the desert southwest and temperatures swing from broiling hot in the day to cold at night. The pavement can burn the paws on walks and stickers hurt. If any of you need shoes, boots or clothes, I sometimes sell them- right now I have some camo boots for sale on ebay starting bid is $2.99. I like these because they zip as well as have velcro straps... easier to put on than the slip on kind. If you are interested in any items let me know what and what size and I will check to see what kind of deal I can get from the wholesale site-

WELCOME! We have found that here in the North Country the velcro dosn't work so well and all my jackets and 'sweaters' have zippers with some kind of fasteners on them. Smarty's coat has velcro.... but he dosn't play in the snow and dosn't last very long outside. The wind may get him!LoL. Thanks for the info and I'll see what ya got! Oh I saw these tee shirts that block UV ray's how well do they work ? do you know? Smarty gets burned in the summer but he complains when he is the only one left inside!

really interesting this issue!
I do not usually put dress or fancy stuff upon my dog, but I recognize how much could be useful a good coat when weather's rainy and I've to bring milo our for a walk (autumn period, like nnovember); Note that he's nearly 14 years old and I want to protect him from cold and similar stuff, and he's not so used to at the life outside, he's more a couch potato!

LOL aren't all dog's in the fall and winter! LOL my Copper would rather be by the stove! Thank you for the compliment! Now if I can keep a sweater like tee shirt that is breathable but will block UV ray's on Smarty then I'll be in heaven for the summer! LOL he complains A LOT when everyone ditches him and goes outside!

The Spoiled Hound Horoscopes
Is your favorite pampered friend looking a little on the sad side? Do you wonder what they may be thinking? Well..... We found through the Worlds Foremost Pet Psychic some horoscopes that may help!
(Of course this is for entertainment only)
Capricorn 12/22-1/19
With the enthusiasm of recent festivities fading into memory you could still be left with a birthday to celebrate; if that's the case your happy home may not be settling in to your pre holiday routine just yet. Those who stopped by to wish you a joyful new year will be back to make you the focus of the moment. If your birthday has already passed, you'll welcome having things return to normal; it's a relief to have everything back in its place, isn't it?
Aquarius 1/20-2/18
Having you as a companion is your housemate's great joy, just as you having them to pal around with is a source of happiness for you. This alliance becomes symbiotic as the two of you experience an easy give and take. Enjoy this week as one in which you and your friend get your house and association back on track. With all the hubbub that went on recently, it's rather nice to establish yourselves anew doing things you couldn't do when visitors were coming and going.
Pisces 2/19-3/20
As sweet and loving a pet as you are, there are times when even you can become flustered, annoyed or involved in a show of temper. If some recent goings on irritated you and you're not yet ready to let it go, do your housemate the favour of staying out from under foot until you regain your composure. Your temperament requires that you have sufficient alone time to sort through your experiences; you achieve this most effectively by dreaming, so take a nap and let nature restore your balance.
Aries 3/21-4/19
Everyone is well aware of what a dynamo you are; at the rate you're going people will think you're still in the throes of hectic December rather than winding down into a more restful January. Set a slower pace; take a considered review of your possessions and work to reduce the clutter you've been accumulating. Find appropriate places to store your newest acquisitions and determine which of your older items is ready for the trash. Your people could learn a valuable lesson from your example.
Taurus 4/20-5/20
Though you and your companion can always find work to do, set aside periods to just relax. During the past month you welcomed many visitors as friends and relations entered your home. Now the two of you owe it to yourselves to enjoy a slower daily pace or take afternoon naps if the mood so moves you. Curl up on comfy cushions, watch TV, listen to music, sit with your friend while they read a book or sip warm tea or hot chocolate. You've earned it!
Gemini 5/20-6/18
With an inventive spirit such as yours it's fun to dream about what kind of world you think you'd like to live in. It takes a big imagination to see beyond what is to what could be and it takes your kind of creativity to then begin to fashion it. Don't get so caught up with this activity that you don't look where you're going or pay attention to what you're doing here and now. Being distracted could lead you into a minor mishap, so focus!
Cancer 6/22-7/22
Though the week begins on bumpy turf by the time you reach the weekend you'll be in a mellow place and receiving psychic input which you can use to help your humans. It's not easy to remain calm when those about you are in a frenzy, but your centred presence adds that gentle element to the scene and your friend has come to depend on it. The recipe experimentation your housemate conducts provides you with samples of some tasty treats; be sure to indicate your favourite.
Leo 7/23-8/22
You're still moving along in the glow of newness and sensing the promise of adventure as you enter the first full week of a new year. Good energy fills the air as the week begins and you'll likely remember many of this period's events with happiness for a long time to come. You're a fine companion for a family member who's feeling unwell, offering sympathy and comfort. When you're the one physically under par, you can rest assured your people will take excellent care of you.
Virgo 8/23-9/22
With things settling back into a more normal routine you notice you're getting more attention than you had been when the household was busy dealing with celebrations and visitors. It's quite nice torecapture the familiarity of ordinary days and enjoy the homey feeling of being alone with your humans. Of course, you don't have to be asked twice to help out with little kitchen tasks you like doing for your companion, you're right at their side happy to be of service.
Libra 9/23-10/22
You got so used to prowling about looking for surprises last month, you're at a bit of a loss as to what to do with yourself as your days return to a routine existence. Don't fret, in due course there will be special events on the calendar that set your heart to beating happily, but for the moment enjoy getting back to basics. There is a simple pleasure in day to day doings and the familiarity of the rituals you have with your companion. Cherish those.
Scorpio 10/23-11/21
The season of celebrating has come and gone and all the visitors have returned to their own habitats. You view this as a particularly pleasant turn of circumstance, as you much prefer keeping to yourself, hiding behind or under furniture to muse about your secret life. All the activity of the recent weeks left you longing for peace and solitude, so take your fill of it now; before you know it another round of anniversaries will creep up and you'll be back in the public eye.
Sagittarius 11/22-12/21
Your week gets off to a rollicking start, but switches gears day by day as you begin to question the state of some of your animal and human alliances. Some friends may be a bit testy, or you may be the one who's out of sorts; either way, it's not the best time try to make friends or influence anyone. If you're not sure what's expected of you, don't attempt anything outlandish; wait quietly and observe how others are behaving, eventually you'll get your cue.
