[nagdu] winter coats

[Nicole B. Torcolini]

Okay, that's kind of what I figured.  That's nice that the lady makes the 
jackets specifically for the harnesses; I've come across some rather goofy 
and useless dog attire in my time.  Does he like his coat?  For some reason, 
Lexia quite enjoys her raincoat, not to mention dog T-shirts. She has a 
Stanford one that she wears every now and then. It's made specifically for 
dogs.

I'm in Nebraska and yes, my Boxer mix does need a coat.  He has very short
fur with only the tiniest bit of undercoat.
