I always thought that people who dress there dogs in dog clothes were a bit over the top. Maybe small dogs, but german shepherds--never. Well I saw a listers post a pict of a dog in the coat, and she looked very lovely, and I wanted one. Besides, it's been so cold here in Ohio, and the dogs want to go out, and they come in wet and cold. I figured it'd be better for them, and me, if they had something on. Well I went to a horse tack shop and got dog blankets. They were resonably priced and had a selection of styles and colors. I was a bit dubious as to whether Chopper and Chase would wear them. Not only did they wear them, but played as if they had always had them on. Though Chopper looked as if he ws trying not to get his dirty ;) the web site is www.sstack.com if anybody is interested. For those on the other list, you'll get picks this evening.
