We adopted Greta in October 2006, and we had about two months of good weather before the rain started, so I had time to buy some winter togs for my girl.

I got her these jammies (they call them “snugglies”), in Jaguar, which Greta likes (but always manages to pull her back legs out of come morning).

As for coats, I started with this, a very cute one that’s perfect for fall, spring and mild winter days. I bought it in pink, because I’m a breast cancer survivor, but it’s also available in the more “manly” ocean blue and ice blue.

We used that coat the first year, and before last winter, I decided to get Greta one of these coats for rainy, cold winter days. In hot pink, of course.

I’m thinking before next winter, I will be purchasing one of these or these, just to have another rainy-day option.

But first, I will be buying one of these to get us through the summer.

I also recently bought this after seeing the cover of AKC Family Dog magazine (and, yes, obsessively calling them to find out where they got the shirt the greyhound on the cover is wearing). Unfortunately, even the 2XL was a bit too snug for my girl, who weighs about 60 lbs.

I’m pretty sure my neighbors refer to me as “that weird lady who dresses up her dog”, but I don’t care.

The fact is, Greta has zero body fat, and on the days when I’m cold (and I have some extra padding), I’m sure she’s freezing.
