a cocker in a coat...

[posie_honey]

Mr Coal McMole would like to thank those who advised his mummy to get a Harpley equestrian coat for him - esp as it does match his older brothers aerborn one exactly and the size recommended was the perfect fit

he would however - first and foremost - like to reiterate the fact that he is a hard core working dog who really does not NEED his coat and its just his mummy making him soft don't you know? so told his mummy to post this pics first to prove his country ways...

and sporting his nice new coat:

although he does wonder if it really is warm enough as he still had to try to sit IN the fire just in case he caught a chill or something

sorry for crap piccies - taken on phone and he always thinks he should be next to me if i crouch down and doesn't understand that i need him away from me to take a piccie - hence the haunted 'i'm in trouble' look

Ruby spangle would like to thank Coal for his superb modelling efforts and wishes to know which size coat he is wearing and whether her mum can buy one via the internet.

extra medium size - really fits well - i was worried it would not be long enough or be too loose round the chest but its a fabulous fit

Bless him!!

Otto says his rug is grey and hot PINK!!

 

[posie_honey]

ooh - that sounds a lovely colour combo! alas coal requested a matching one so he didn't feel so daft - so i had to get navy and red again

I was going to get Henry another jumper (so I can keep one in the house and one in the car) but he says he might like one of those instead.

Although of course he is also a tough country dog with no need for such fripperies

Otto actually has two His original B&W one in XXMed and now he has grown up and filled out properly, he has gone up to a Large. He inherited the IWS's old one and I think there is at least one more at my Mum's home that would drown the Cockers, although I have a feeling it is baby blue and beige or some other horrific colour! The perils of getting them at the factory sale, you have to take what you're given!

Thank you for the link and sizing.....Ruby has Christmas all under control now!

Henry is between sizes. He is 21" neck to tail, extra medium is 20" and extra extra medium is 23". Which size do I go for...?

 

[kirstyhen]

Otto was in XXMed when he was about that size, the XMed would have been too small.

 

[Spudlet]

I guess it's better to have a little too much room than too little. I know what I'll be getting him for Christmas then!

 

[kirstyhen]

Spuds, I have just measured Otto's XXMed and it is 21 inches from the back of his shoulders to the base of his tail, so that would be why he was in a XXMed!
