I never expected to become someone who dressed up their dog...especially when said dog is 70+ pounds. It all started when I saw how much Miss M hated the colder weather, and I needed to get her a coat just to stay warm.
That became our gateway apparel.
Once I saw how cute coats and gear made our pups that much more approachable, we moved on from there.
Much like my scarf is an essential for the Chicago winter, I figured our pups needed their own neck-gear to cover that extra space their coats don't cover. Snoods are like a circular scarf which is perfect for dogs because you can also pull them over their heads for that seal-like look.
Even better...we love these snoods from Snug-a-Bull showing the pooches' animal look-alikes.
With the way he scurries around, we always thought Mr. B was like an extra-large mouse.
And Miss M's nickname is "gorilla", because her nose looks just like a gorilla (I can't tell you how many times I 'recognized her' when I was watching Planet of the Apes).
The best part is they make even the most dreary winter walk more fun. I don't think a single person walked by without smiling or laughing. And even with fewer people out in the cold, their snoods even lured people in to give them pets.
Plus... I don't think any pup could take a bad photo in these!
