60F degrees this morning in Gumlog, Georgia on Hartwell Lake in mid September. No wonder Harley and I slept with the electric mattress warmer
turned on. Who ever invented that marvelous invention deserves a best invention prize. It's far superior to an electric blanket. I also had on winter pajamas, while hiding under a fluffy comforter. Harley was wearing his blue argyle sweater. He curled up tightly in his tiny faux fur pet bed. It's hard to believe I've had to drag out Harley's winter wardrobe already. He has grown a little since last winter, so his loose sweaters are now rather snug. Thank goodness they still fit him, because he needs to keep his heart and chest warm, since he is so tiny.
Over the past year of owning him, I've been on a constant hunt for affordable sweaters for him that don't look any goofier than he does already. Why do pet designers assume we want our pets to look hilarious?
Recently someone loaned me 2 videos, "Beverly Hills Chihuahua
" both the first and second one. I've only watched the first one so far. I laughed my way through most all of it. There's a serious drama interlude, but much of it is just hilarious. It's truly a delightful movie. The tiny little dogs are dressed up positively ridiculous, riding in designer handbags, while accompanying their owners around Hollywood. After seeing that movie, I now understand the craze of the pet stores to offer ridiculous doggy outfits. Harley just needs utilitarian sweaters, he needs the warmth. His pet parent is too lazy to carry him around, so he has to walk on a leash. Yesterday the park rangers came to check on us. Harley was ecstatic. It was 64F degrees, so he was wearing his Bark Ranger mini red vest. He danced for them, showed off his 360 degree spinning tricks, played fetch and when they tried to leave, he hopped up in their truck, sitting nicely in the middle of their front seat. We had a great laugh, while I managed to coax Harley out of their truck, so they could continue their rounds.
Harley and I often recycle first hand. While out hiking, we found this tiny blue plastic bucket that appeared nearly new. I washed it up, took the handle off of it, converting it to Harley's outdoor water dish. On warm days, I filled it full of ice cubes so he had plenty of self-generating cool water outside. Pets needs plenty of fresh water to stay healthy. Never deprive your pet of good clean water because you think they will pee less, in the long run it will deteriorate their health substantially.
