Re: [pyrnet] rainy weather

Shelby used to take ridiculous measures to try and stay out of the rain.
Here, in Victoria, it is very dry in the summer but tries to make up for it
from November until March. A Mediterranean climate. I had a coat made for
Shelby about five years ago, to try and make it easier to get her to walk in
winter. It is cordura nylon on the outside and fleece on the inside. This
coat has been great, especially now that she is a senior.(13 going on 14) I
have some photos which I should try to post to Perfect-pyrs.
