Hugo. Hates. Winter.

The reason I wrote about Ollie and his winter chill almost two years after his passing is because I was recently reminded of my dear, sweet Ollie when, as the days grew darker and colder, Hugo attached himself to the various heat vents in my house as though they were long lost lovers.

Hugo is quite lean and fit and doesn’t have much body fat, and apparently he gets chilly. He’s learned to cope with this in various ways; either by using Dune's always slightly elevated body temp to his advantage or, as mentioned above never leaving the heat register. But I finally got the message yesterday. Hugo. Hates. Winter. And he is COLD.

So, yesterday afternoon I went out and did something I never thought I’d do. I took Hugo-Louis shopping for a sweater he could comfortably wear indoors.

We did find something suitable, in fact it is very French. He is happy and I am ever so slightly sheepish about previously judging others who may, on occasion, dress their dogs. I am still not entirely a fan, but now I acknowledge that there may be a time and a place for such things.

How about you? Where do you stand on the dressing dogs debate? Any good photos of your dog looking comfy and thrilled in clothes?
