Possibly because he's old and less argumentative/stubborn now, or possibly because he's smart enough to know that wearing things is protection against the cold, Perry consented to wear his doggy winter coat for the first time ever a few days ago! I haven't tried it in a few years now after his earlier strident refusals of course.

I don't have a camera right now, but Wax took a grainy phone picture: http://twitpic.com/3b4ypn.

It's like -17°C, so he's still shivering when we get home.

Did your doggy refuse at first by stubbornly refusing to move with his coat on?

My dog did that, but the same thing happened -- I tried a few years later and he was fine.

Yep, while turning the WHY ARE YOU TORTURING ME MASTER WHAT HAVE I DONE up to 11. He's a beagle, so it's already his superpower! The eyes, the cringing, the ears, the shuffling little stubborn feet, the belly to the floor, the tucked-in tail.
