Lilo's contribution. Gizmo's contribution.
We really enjoy spring time, it means more walks, more daylight, flowers, grass, etc...But one thing we don't particularly enjoy is walking in the rain.
Last weekend, there was this huge thunderstorm. Stupid Gizmo kept whining about going out, so the humans took us out IN THE RAIN and GUSTING WIND!
I didn't know any better, Lilo. Did you see my expression afterward? I was traumatized! I didn't want to go out ever again.
Claire felt bad for us. After all, both of us have quite a bit of fur, and could get to be quite a pair of dirty mops if soaked. So she went online (her favorite Amazon.com) and looked for nice raincoats. She ordered them earlier this week (actually sold by Petco.com) and the package came yesterday, just in time for today's rain.
Boneheads water proof raincoat is pretty awesome. Just checked the price, $19.99 for small/medium/large, it's $2 cheaper than earlier this week! I think Claire is going to order a medium size for Gizmo. Ok, so about the sizing, Claire ordered two large, because doggie apparels tend to run a bit smaller. Turns out, large fits me, Lilo (14 lbs with lots of fur!), perfectly. But it's a bit too big on Gizmo (11 lbs with not as much fur). It does a very good job keeping our bodies dry, allowing us to maintain our appearance. No one likes to see either of us soaking wet...we look like rats without all the poofy hair! Plus, we look like we're on a mission with the raincoat! Like a construction worker, or firefighter, you know, something about being in uniforms.
Pictures of us after our very first walk with the raincoats. Face slightly wet since we didn't use the hood (yeah, it gets in the way of seeing/sniffing things), feet are all wet as expected, but body 100% dry. I would say, good $45 spent on us!
