[nagdu] Raincoats?

[Tami Jarvis via nagdu]

Gary,

Mitzi has an orange raincoat, I think by RuffWear. Once she heard how 
stylish she looks in it, she was happy to wear it. /lol/

Funny. We do the slow speed chase when the harness comes out, too. It 
seems important to her for some reason, so it's just part of the ritual. 
She's funny. If I'm getting ready to go somewhere, she will shadow me 
all over the house, usually in perfect position, except to block the 
door if I look like I might be heading that way. So I take out the 
harness, and she starts avoiding me -- just out of reach. Or she will 
run to my husband for protection, knowing perfectly well that he will 
grab her and hold her for me. Of course, if I put down the harness and 
head for the door to grab my cane and go without her, she will not allow 
that! She also seems sort of offended that I'm not playing the game 
right. Once the game has been played, the harness goes on, and she is 
happy. Very strange critters, poodles. /lol/

> As you might imagine, living in Vancouver, a rain coat is a key part of Bogart's wardrobe.  I bought one from a pet store here called Tisol.  They might be in alberta as well. It has velcrow under his tummy and around his neck and it is worn under his harness.  It is a sort of lime green colour. Nice and bright. Weirdly they wanted another $20 for a yellow coat. His cost $40 if I recall corectly.  Bogart doesn't mind the rain sometimes but he hates working in the rain and hates his raincoat. When Igrab it he starts walking away as we do our slow "white bronco" chase through the house. <smile> However, if I took bogart at face value I would think he never wanted to work. When I ask him to go into his harness he turns his head away and we think aboutr it for awhile.  I give him about 30 seconds to comply before I put it on hm.  However, he enjoys his work and generally, except when the rain coat is on, works with tons of energy.
