    Default Kira's Xmas Presant.

    Welp, today I finally got mom to help me hold Kira down to measure her so I can get her a Jacket. We have had a great fall, early winter. All of December so far has been high's in the mid to high 30's and lows in the 20's. It's supposed to be like that here until the 1st of the year. That probably means January is gonna be a mother bear.

    Anyway, we measured her back, neck, and chest. We also tried on some of the jackets and sweaters I've had for other dogs. Most were too big, and Harley's were too small.

    Went to Amazon and based on her measurements, ordered her a jacket that should fit with a tad of grow room.

    Should keep the wind off her ... She loves being outside, but, I make her come in long before she wants to. I also ordered her some rawhides, some dream bones and some new toys. I know, I know, I am spoiling her, but, it's her first Christmas, so what the heck. Mom and I don't do Christmas, per sae, but, I am planning a fresh ham on the smoker. Haven't found one yet, so that might end up being a pork b$tt. In any event, Kira and Annabelle will get to open presents ...

    Those are called Thundershirt. I need to get one for one of my dogs. She literally runs and hides anywhere she can when she hears thunder.

    Maybe Kira will be calm enough not to attack the storms ...

    Looks like one of the really nice winter coats I ordered for the dogs a few years back from either L.L. Bean or LandsEnd.

    It does not look like the Thunder Shirts I bought at PetsMart for the Yorkie and Chihuahua. The shirts did not come close to working for either dog....returned them. I hope they worked for other dogs.
