Sometimes Mother Just Doesn't Get It Right !

Yesterday the long awaited package from some pet online store arrived...delayed by the snow and the mess the snow has made of our mail service.....anyway, I opened the box and unwrapped my great find...an all in one fleece sweat- workout thingy for Omar....It took me hours on line to find what I was looking for...something to keep him warm outside in the interim of getting him his dog coat...after all he is growing a such a rate , I wanted to wait till he was at least a year before investing in a coat..they are very expensive , but a good one will last the life of the dog....

our first dog Woofie loved his gray sweat suit and in real bad cold snow days wood wear it under his coat..like back-up warmth..............well like children all dogs have their likes,dislikes and trauma points...Omar was fine , till i put his back legs in the suit, then he went stiff and acted like he was in a vice....outside he wouldn't move ...so after chasing him down when he came inside, and removing the offending garment..he literally sulked the whole morning...bad Mom!....

so I got my good child..Squiggee and put the sweat-suit on her for fit, granted they are a different shape but, where Omar is tall and long...Squiggee is short and plump...anyway it fit Squiggee and she went into her zone ...where she is warm and cozy and in a trance...so she now has another outfit for the outdoors when it is cold and snowy......by the time you return anything , and don't get a refund on your mailing, and after all my efforts seems like a waste of time....so Omar won't be having any garment that deals with his back legs...and I am right back to square one.....he has already outgrown his new tee shirt........ Spring is coming so maybe I will just let him wear Squiggee's coat ,which is too big, but he tolerates...... sadly...if we had children, this is the kind of mother I would be......Omar needs a new collar and harness.....God it is all too much for me right now after the sweat-suit debacle....
FYI...as you can see no pictures of Omar in the sweat-suit, it was all to traumatic!!!
