Monday, November 03, 2003 It's cold and smells like fall here in Southern California...finally. Around this time, I would pull out the doggy sweater and force poor Miss Cookie to wear her red sweater with the white trim to keep her warm. She really hated that thing, but couldn't look more adorable. When it rained, I would pull out her matching red doggy booties to keep her feet warm and save my carpets if she wandered through the mud while looking for a place to go potty. Unfortunately, she hated those too, probably more so than she hated the sweater. Cookie was pretty resourceful and smart when it came to her sweater. Somehow, she would manage to pull the sweater off. Let me tell you, that is no easy task considering how fitted the darned thing was. As she got older, she grew to realize that no matter how many times she would pull off the sweater, I would put it right back on her. I would like to think that she learned to like the sweater, but in actuality, I think she got too tired of struggling to remove it time and time again. The smell of approaching winter makes me sad as it was my favorite time of year to spend with Cookie. There's nothing better than snuggling up on the couch with a good movie or book and my dog. I seriously wonder how I will make it through the season without her...especially Christmastime. It didn't feel very festive or holiday-y unless she was around. I know Cookie was a dog and had no concept of the holidays, but for me, having her there made me happy and gave me even more of a reason to celebrate. posted by lisa | linkorama | |
