Nemo’s sweater has been done for quite some time but the weather got really nice and he hasn’t had a chance to wear it. This morning I put it on him and he wouldn’t walk through the park. He did this a lot:
He looks kinda like he needs to go to the bathroom but mostly like he is traumatized and can’t move the entire back half of his body..which is funny because the sweater doesn’t really touch that part of him. I think it is fair to assume that Nemo never had a sweater with his former owners. Phil says that the sweater is probably itchy and that he hates it and shouldn’t have to wear it. Well then why did I knit the darn thing?!
He does look much more regal when sitting….

Had to chuckle at Nemo in your post. A few years ago we were advised to buy our 15 year old kelpie a coat for the arthritis in her back. We had a shop near us that specialised in dog coats (!?!) so I wandered up with her to find the perfect one. She was absolutely mortified walking (slinking) home, with her bottom tucked under (like Nemo) and squeezed up as close as she could to whatever building we were walking past. The 1km walk home took us over an hour!! She passed away late last year at the ripe old age of 21!

I visited the store the other day and Nemo was prancing around in his fabulous new coat, so I think he’s gotten used to it! When we were house-training our beagle/Jack Russel mix, the only thing that would work was a pair of “man-panties” for dogs. Talk about some serious slinking
