Tomgirl Puppy

Gojisho Jan 10, 2004 05:33 PM

Gretal is five months old and just under eight pounds. Boy do pet stores love me; I bought some of the cutest sweaters, fleece pullovers and rain jackets. Thank god I didn't buy boots! She will have nothing to do with them. Hates any kind of sweater. Most times, she walkes out of it or she gets tangled up and rolls all over just to get free. Quite a sight I might add. As soon as she is "free", off she runs, no matter what the weather and is happy as a clam. Any tricks to keeping her clothes on in these extreme conditions or should I accept the fact that she prefers to be a tomgirl!

I'd keep trying, with special attention to times she actually feels cold and is shivering. Be careful not to put clothes on her when she's hot. It's great that she's not showing sensitivity to the cold.
