My husband takes our dog Biscuit out every morning for a walk around the neighborhood. She’s diabetic and needs the exercise to keep her blood sugar down, and my husband is on alert ever since a car was broken into across the street last year. We both feel it’s a good idea to walk the neighborhood regularly, different times of day, keep in touch with our surroundings.
No matter what the weather, they take their morning constitutional over to the park. After she came home soaking wet a couple of times, my husband decided to make her a raincoat from a garbage bag.
She was not thrilled about the raincoat. That’s not a happy face, and the tail is all wrong.
Of course she cowered and tried to shake it off at first, but as soon as she realized it meant WALK, she was on board. Now I put it on her anytime I want to take her outside.

Of course, Badges has to have everything Biscuit has, so we fitted him with his own little jacket.

Badges wasn’t too sure either, but like Biscuit, he now identifies the raincoat with WALK, and he actually holds his head up to have it pulled on.
Don’t let the weather keep you from being active. Get out there and keep an eye on your hood.
