When taking your pooch on vacation with you, it’s nice to include them in the change of clothing or appearance associated with different vacationing spots. For example, you might consider dog shirts with a Hawaiian theme if you are vacationing at the beach or in a tropical location. Alternatively, if you are camping, you might consider dog clothing with a camouflage theme. There is dog clothing available to suit almost any traditional vacation location.

Dog clothing might also be available at the location, so your dog can bring back a shirt with Niagara Falls decaled on it, or wear the shirt while they’re there and fit in with the locals!

Practical Dog Hats

I love to see my schnauzer wearing a fashionable dog hat. He draws attention not only from me but from everyone we pass as we’re out and about. Though he’s clearly the talk of the town, I’ve found that his dog hats have practical uses too. For example, I use his sun visor to shield his eyes from harmful UV rays, which can impact dog eyesight just as much as human eyesight. I use his rain hat to keep his head dry and keep water from getting in his eyes when it’s raining outside.

These are just a few of the practical uses I’ve found, and I’m sure there are more. I’d love to hear what other practical uses people have found for their dog hats or dog clothes.

Raincoat SetJust because it’s wet and rainy out there doesn’t mean your pooch won’t want his daily walk. To be on the safe side, protect him from the cold, wet weather with a stylish rain coat and matching hat. It’s also a good idea to keep his paws warm and dry with rain boots. This will also save some puddles on your hardwood floor or carpet.

Just as people need to put on extra layers of clothing when going outside in the winter, sometimes a dog’s natural fur coat just isn’t enough to combat the cold. Owners will find that short haired dogs, especially, are susceptible to cold temperatures; however long haired dogs can be just as vulnerable in extreme cold. Dog sweaters come in styles as various as clothing labels, and keep your dog warm when walking in the winter months. Sweaters also offer protection from the various forms of precipitation and from some of the notorious ‘wet dog’ smell.

John Lithgow, Tony Award winner, has been entertaining pint-sized audiences for decades. His latest children’s book, I Got TwI Got Two Dogso Dogs, is about two mischievous dogs named Fanny and Blue. Fanny and Blue may not be the smartest dogs, and they may not be the best-behaved dogs, but they are definitely the most-loved dogs.John Lithgow

The bouncy, word rhyming text and the song in the accompanying sing-along CD - is based on Lithgow’s own family’s two dogs. Out of all the songs that I’ve made up for kids, this is their absolute favorite,” he says. And Robert Neubecker’s eye-popping illustrations capture the joy of all things dog.

Ratchet with Gwen BebergRatchet, the Iraqi puppy, finally had his very best day yet. An animal rescue group flew into Baghdad on Sunday, October 19 and loaded him onto a charter flight. He was due to arrive in Minnesota at the end of the week. Ratchet was adopted by Army Spc. Gwen Beberg, 28, from Minnesota. Beberg, along with another soldier, rescued the puppy from a burning pile of trash last May.

It was the third try by Operation Baghdad Pups to get Ratchet out of the country on behalf of Beberg who says she couldn’t have made it through her 13 month deployment without the mutt. “He has been her emotional support, confidante, sanity-saver and a connection with something other than a war zone,” Beberg’s mother reported.

Ratchet would look and feel terrific in a new, soft parka for his first winter in the U.S.
