Now that it has gotten so much colder in New York, time to find a coat for Gigolo. His predecessor had 2 fab coats both of which don't fit "Jiggles" (aka Gigolo) because this little boy has no "girth"!! One of Geronimo's coats was a beautiful soutwestern blanket coat/vest but it was too big. My dear friend gave Gigolo an early Xmas present and had one sent in a smaller size (still a little too big but much better). Only problem is that I don't think that it is warm enough and doesn't cover his entire back.
So we have been to every pet store in Manhattan trying all the coats. They are either too big, too long, too wide or they don't have a slit so that the leash can fit through to his harness. Finally found one yesterday made by a company called Ekoo, which was perfect except for the price $100!! Nothing is too good for my fur baby but have to draw the line somewhere, so am I crazy for not buying the perfect coat..Truth is that when it gets really cold and windy (and we have had some of those days already, he isn't crazy about walking in that kind of weather. ..all 3.5 lbs of him gets lifted off the ground. Up until know all he knews was great walks on beautiful days (I brought him home in June )Now the rude awakening!! Do you take your babies out in the cold weather? I should mention that I use wee wee pads so the only reason to go out is for exercise and fresh air.
