Adorable :)

HB in his smart new raincoat

The raincoat I ordered for HB earlier this week arrived today just in time for a Nor'easter to bring snow/sleet/rain. I put it on him and took him with us up to town to get a sandwich and walk back on the Minuteman bikeway among the fall leaves and the snow. He got quite a lot of attention from people passing by on the sidewalk. I took my camera along since the woman who made the coat wanted a picture or two of her handiwork on HB and I must admit he looks pretty adorable :)

The raincoat is also lined with a nice black and red plaid flannel fabric so it's nice and soft without being bulky. The only nits I have are the clasps which look like they'll probably rust over time but I can probably replace them fairly easily with rubber coated ones and it slides back a bit when he walks so I'll rig some velcro ties to attach secure it to his collar to help prevent that. Other than that it's terrific to have such a nice raincoat for him to wear in inclement weather and he even seems to like wearing it :)
