We had eight inches of snow on Friday and after Emmy roamed in it to her heart’s content, she found that she could lie on the picnic table and soak up the sun. This when it was 20 degrees outside. Her undercoat has come in and she is “dressed” for winter. She even refused to come back into the warm house when offered the chance, just stretched out again after I took this photo.

It melted here too but now we are freezing cold with brisk wind to boot.

That’s exactly the pattern we had a couple weeks ago. Lots of snow that stuck around, followed by freezing temps in the teens! Now we’re back to rain.

Another reason why we don’t need to dress dogs up in coats. Good for Emmy!
Best wishes, Pete.

I am astonished by the clothes people put on their dogs.

They don’t need anything of course, they are little more than ‘fashion statements’.

And think of the profits. Those little outfits are expensive.

She is the first dog we have had that thought the wood table would be warmer than the mat by the door. Clever pup.

I must say, Elizabeth, that Emmy is a lucky dog. I just about freeze to death during the winter. I raised a dove which I called Emmy when I was 19. She survived and eventually flew away.

I love the way Shadow’s winter coat looks. It’s so silky and luxurious.
Enjoy your time with your pooch! 🙃

Thanks. Do you have to brush Shadow out in the spring or does he self shed?
LikeLike
Both! He sheds, but I’d rather control the shedding so it doesn’t end up everywhere. Usually, he sheds close to winter time as he loses his summer coat for the winter coat. Then, he sheds again in the spring and his summer coat fills in.

We only ever had cats that lived most of the time outdoors, so I never knew they had two coats.
LikeLike
Interesting! It might also depend on the cat. Shadow is a medium hair kitty. What about yours?
LikeLike
They were medium too. They probably just shed on their own and I never noticed.
LikeLike
Probably so! If Shadow was an outdoor cat, I probably would only notice when his winter coat came in without realizing he shed one to grow one. As it is, I’m inside with him, chasing after him with a brush! 😂
