| I just don't get New England weather and neither does Buddy! The weather in New England will give anyone a headache. Yesterday was nice and in the high 70's. Today it is in the 40's. So for his walk tonight, we took him out around midnight he needed a jacket. So we tried on his new winter jacket, it is cute (and pricey), but he is worth it. It is blue and thick sherpa with a hood and a bone one the back, so cute! He didn't give me a problem with it, he just had to adjust the way he pee'd and pooped. It was so cute. Lol. I actually wish I had a coat like that. It looks sooo warm! I am still waiting for his stuff to come in from ebay. Also, does anyone use sweaters or sweatshirts that go over the head? I saw some cute ones, but I don't know how that would go. Does your Yorksters let you put stuff on over their heads? So far I have only bought buttons or Velcro. Here is a few pics of Buddy Benji in his nice warm winter coat! He is a doll!

| At the time you walk him, he could just go out in his PJs and slippers.

| I doubt your the only one who has such a swing in weather temps. We have gone from the 50's to the 80's, back down to high 60's, back up to the 80's and today is cool with temps predicted down into the 50's for 4 days then back to the 80's. Very flustrating because you never know how to dress My girls have button up sweaters and pullovers. They don't mind anything going over their heads. It only takes two seconds to go over their head, so it's easy.

| Gypsy lets me put dresses and shirts over her head. She is really calm about it. But she is a pretty mellow little girl.

| New England is notorious for wild weather changes but it's part of the charm. Tucker has tons of pullover sweaters and hoodies. I usually stick my hand through the neck and put my hand on his head to quickly pull it on over this head (sounds more complicated than it really is). We have no problems getting dressed for cool weather....with the exception of boots, he won't do those.

| Gigi and JRo, You are from MA. Not so far from RI. I am actually moving to MA in the next few months, since I just got married. I love my lil state, don't know how I will adjust to a state that takes more than 45 mins to drive through!

| I actually live in a town right on the RI border! MA is the best but then again, I'm biased, born and raised here! Plus I go to RI pretty frequently.

| Harley has gotten very used to things being pulled on over his head. Especially if it is a little chilly, he will stand on his hind legs to get into clothes or his harness quicker! Jeri and Harley |

| East Coast Weather! I'm complaining about the same thing, today it's 55 and just the other day it was in the 80's? It must just be the East Coast weather we are in Myrtle Beach SC. I guess Summer is all done and over with? My pack of 3 Yorkie's are in full Winter Gear w/c consists of a full body velour sweatsuit hoodie w/a full body ski suit over it. I will do a 3rd layer if it gets Colder? Talk about Extreme weather changes! I wish they would wear the Boots/shoes I feel bad for their little feet getting Cold? Time to break out the Winter Wardobe. Cute Jacket it looks warm?

| ha! I love the coat!!! We are New Englanders here also! You are right, we get some wacky weather! I do not have coats for my boys, I have sweatshirts that I do pull over their heads. They don't like them though. In the winter I usually just let them out to pee for 5 mins and thats it, back in they come! I will let them stay out in the snow nekkid as long as they want or until I see them starting to pull up their paws, then I bring them in and warm them up again. They love the snow and hate clothes... so nekkid it has to be, but only for a few mins. Although lately they are happy to put on their Patriots jerseys..... so maybe I'll put those on them when they go out this winter!

| I HATE New England. It's weird cause i was born and raised here and you'd think i'd be use to it by now? But Nope!!! Every year around this time i start whining about the weather. I think its cause i get cold really easy. In the summertime, my family is always saying ohhh its too hot. Yeah right...i'm loving it!!! I dont care how hot it gets! Cestu, i'm about 15 minutes from you.(if that) Tinkerbelle, i got your email, saved it , and planned on responding...but forgot LoL Anyways....where you are moving to...there are LOTS of Malls and shops there...so think of it this way..your shopping will only increase! Oh and i always put things that go over Pasquale's head...i always tell him he'll thank me once we go outside!

| I just don't get New England Quote:
I am happy with training Tricksie to pee pads. Even though we are in FL, they get fleas, eat lizzards, etc. If you want to buy are sell Real Estate, let me know. My friend is a Realtor.
