The Bosco Style
The other morning, Joan and I were walking down the street and we came upon, Sugar, a lab mix that lives across the street from us (Sugar lives with the cool kids that took care of me a few months ago.) Anyway, I saw that Sugar had adopted the 'Bosco style' of wearing a t-shirt. Remember my t-shirt outfit?
Well, after some discussion, we were glad to hear that Sugar was only wearing the t-shirt for warmth (not for a healing wound as in my case) since she doesn't have any fur on her tummy. (I don't either but I don't get cold enough to warrant a t-shirt for that reason.) In fact, to make my point, Joan and I went running yesterday morning on the coldest day so far of this winter. It was -1 degree F, she says. I did not shiver or anything. But Joan said that I had icicles on my whiskers. Joan was pretty bundled up and had ice on the fabric covering her mouth. I only saw one other dog out - a golden retriever/lab mix who was walking with a man who had no pants on! Lucky for him, I did not go lick his leg skin. hee hee. Joan thought it was odd - he had a coat on but looked like he "just went outside to get the paper" but he was along the river where there is no newspaper box or many houses.

Great Pic. The fact is that even when the dog doesn't need the clothes to per say keep warm, it can sure get a lot of laughs from visitors and bystanders. I run with my Boston Terrier, and have so far purchased 5 funny tshirts from the folks at www.doggietshirts.com, and I can tell you, on top of keeping her warmer, it sure gets the laughs on a cold day. Cheers.

Hey. I've been reading a few different dog blogs this morning and love the angle you take with this one. It's really funny / fun to read about the adventures from Bosco's perspective. Keep it up :) It's a fantastic blog :)
