Horse Blankets are for the Dogs?

After weeks of freezing weather, I grew tired of not being able to leave our short coated farm dogs outside during the day. So I set out to invest in dog blankets. After discovering that they were sold out at all the local stores, I called my friend Connie at the Tack Room in Laramie, WY. She always has hard to find items in stock, and the dog blankets were no exception. Connie promptly mailed me my new dog blankets.

Yesterday was the first day our dog Cleo sported her new plaid Weatherbeeta brand dog blanket. For all you non horse people, Weatherbeeta is one of the big horse blanket company's and is the manufacturer of most of Comet's horse blankets. What ensued surprised me.

Comet took one look at Cleo and began snorting, with his head high in the air he ran back and forth in his paddock, as to express shock and outrage. He was so worked up he would not even go in his stall to eat grain. ( He loves his grain. There are few world events that would cause him to refrain for eating it immediately) He was committed to keeping an eye on this dog in the crazy plaid blanket. Perhaps he was just jealous that I had given brand new high quality "horse" blanket to a dog.
