After months of brutally cold temperatures, it is finally starting to stay warm up here in northwestern Wisconsin, ushering in days of beach-side relaxation on Lake Superior. But little Scoopers is already prepared for next winter with this sweet vintage dog sweater I scored for just fifty cents — provided to me by my kind friend, Kevin O’Brien — from a thrift shop in Marshfield, Wisconsin:

Scoops is ready for the winter in this sweet vintage sweater.

I like this sweater because it adequately covers Scoops’s long Bichon body, something not done by most dog sweaters, which end up looking like weird, saucy half-shirts on the ample-torsoed Scoops. And, because its argyle print is comprised of bold, primary colors, this sweater may help signal to otherwise-confused onlookers that the fluffy, cute creature within is of the masculine sex, if not gender.
