    Re: In praise of coats for Labradors

    The coat's arrival turned out to be very timely because Ob has come down with kennel cough today and is in especial need of a cosy, fleecy jacket! He has been coughing on and off all day and, due to the coughing, also vomiting up anything he eats (and then eating it again in true Labrador style - it usually stays down after the third go). We've just come back from the vet and the verdict is that it's not too bad and he just has to wait it out. But no contact with other dogs for a week after he stops coughing. Eek!! No day care, no dog club, no flyball, no dog park. But he does have a lovely new coat to keep him toasty :)

    The invalid:

    Poor Obi, glad he's got his cosy coat (which he looks lovely in, what a handsome boy), and speedy recovery from KC!

    Get well soon Obi !

    He looks beautiful in his new coat and I love his expressive ginger eyebrows.

    Thank you very much :) I'll pass that on to the boy (presently throwing up and re-consuming sardines on the lounge room carpet.......which is the kind of reason why we can't bring ourselves to replace said carpet - it's so forgiving).

    He with the Ginger Eyebrows in between bouts of heaving up his dinner. I think he looks a bit like Mr Spock here.
