[nagdu] winter coats

[Julie J.]

He doesn't mind the coat, but then again he doesn't mind much of anything.

The coat is royal blue with black trim.  It is very professional looking and 
not loud, obnoxious or goofy looking at all.  I'm not into cutesy attire for 
my guide dog.

>> I am very pleased!
