Well winter has well and truly hit Melbourne, and at risk of being like every other Melbournian I am going to state the obvious and say… my oh my it is cold.  But this blog isn’t about me being cold… it’s about Dex…

This week when Dave went out to feed the Dog on going outside he made a comment on how frosty it was in our backyard… when he came in he made another comment on the fact that the dog was also frosty… Now I know that Dex is a dog and that dogs are designed to live outside, that they have the right bits and pieces including a nice thick coat that keeps them warm.  To help him we have also given him a nice soft bed and some towels in his kennel to help keep him warm, but because Dex is a destroyer… he has wrecked these warm items and sometimes they disappear from the kennel all together.  For a while I have been trying to ignore how cold it is getting so that I won’t worry about Dex, but when Dave told me dex was frosty… and I knew that he was due for a haircut I decided that this winter something needed to be done.

So this weekend, while I wrote my final assignment for semester one, I sent Dave on a mission to get Dex a winter coat, which he can wear at night and stay a little warmer… So here he is in his new winter jacket, looking very spunky.

To be honest I don’t think that Dex likes his coat very much, but it’s for his own good and it has a wicked collar…
