i happen to not have an ac , even in hot Puerto Rico and when my dog and I go to someones home with AC he shakes as though he is in the arctic. This is why I am buying a few hoodies even so that he can be comphy in NE and even i heard of one gals Yorkie who was only comphy when she put on some PJs at night.. I took that story to mean maybe the Ladies lil one was cold at night.. cause that can only be the reason why after several restless nights the Yorkie slept the whole night after she had her pjs on.

I thought you where from puerto rico too- which is why I questioned the coat

Silly me!

If you looked at me you would know I am not much into fashion. I just saw this and wanted it for my boys since i was looking into getting them a coat anyway for the winter move. If you read my original posts u can see that I stated that i knew how cold NE winters can be.

I do understand where u were coming from now...

You wouldn't go out in freezing weather with a t-shirt and jeans on would you? Why would you expect a little dog with a single layer of hair to go out in freezing weather and be fine?

BTW I love that Juicy coat! They have a pink one for the girls and I really like it, but it just doesn't get very cold here in Texas. We may get a few freezing days but it doesn't last long. It usually doesn't get colder than a nice sweater day - but I still want that coat LOL. If it did get colder here, she'd have several coats.

that seems like something you would get for ur girl... but i can also see u with a matching hat scarf and boots some how lol u guys are really the fashionistas of the site lol.

When we get our Yorkie- if it wears a furry coat, My mum can walk it LOL.
She wouldnt mind doing that- but as much as I love my dogs- i like them to be dogs- and I wouldnt go and stick it in a coat that looked sissy-ish LOL.

I agree with you, I don't think the price was too bad for Juicy, esp. since there isn't a charge for shipping. Yes, I think our babies are well worth a splurge!

one thing that kills me here in pr is when people say I am outta the continent of the us so they have to send it through UPS and i dont get free shipping and end up needing to pay more. I get maid because I use USPS just like any other us citizen, and from the people on here, well they tell me that the shipping cost is the same as a US state and there is no need for paying extra . That i am so greatful for.. So if its free i will have them shipped here, and if they will not ship to pr for free then i can always send it to NE since i will be there soon! 65$ with no extra shipping charge is an awesome price.

lol I understand where ur coming from. I am not much into the dressing thing but like i said when i like something i strive to get it. I do however enjoy seeing all the lil furbabies around here in their cloths. I dont post in many of them, but i do look and share then with my son. We make comments and jokes about them.. as anyone.. but the pic section is one of my favorite sections here.

That's a good idea, if they can't ship it to you there for free, just have it shipped to NE. When are you moving? Good luck with your move!

I am moving back in Late November of the first week in December. I am soo glad to go home as I have not even been back to visit in two years. My son really misses the snow. . I dont have any winter close either so I will be happy when I can finally shop at the stores I am comfortable shoping at. Oh and I forgot i can actually go into a Petsmart again WITH my boys. I know my neighbor was so suprised that they we are allowed to actually take our pets to petsmart with us.

I'll bet you will be so glad to move back. Just think, you'll be back in time for a white Christmas! You'll have so much fun shopping for winter clothes. I think I would miss the snow, too.
