Mirtillo and Lycia in the snow

  • great pics as usuall, Janneke :-))

    I love the "king of the hill" pic and the one of Lycia on the tree…

  • wow! wonderful dogs, i watch Tillo before..

  • I love your pics, too! :D They are always great!

    Which size is Tillo's Hurtta-coat? It's the brown one, isn't it?
    Thabo wears Zuri's black one. It's 33cm long and fits very well when I fix it at Thabos hind legs. But 2-3cm more would be better for him, I think. More around the body. Meanwhile, he is much "more" than Zuri :rolleyes:

    Mirtillo has a size 36 in his Hurtta coat and it's the green one :D
    I never fix it around the hindlegs.. Tillo hates that and it looks like he's wearing a thong.. :D ;)

  • Do you have them tied up to really really long leads or is someone holding those long leads?

    There is 30 meter leash between them. In this forrest there are a lot of foxes, deers etc and dogs are not allowed to walk off leash.. So we mostly hold the leash.. Especially now with this cold… Don't want one of the pups to go missing for a night.. And Lycia keeps trying to get on the ice.. So I don't want her off leash near water/ice.. When spring is back, they'll get more freedom again.. :D

  • oh ok, kool. Just wondering, I would love to get something like that for Lilu when I bring her to the 4H to play with my moms dog.

  • I use a 25 foot(7.5m) retractable Flexi lead on AJ that was made for a 110 lb (50kg) dog. It gives him enough room to run a little but I still retain control.

  • I think I have a 5m that i use for lilu when i take her out to go potty but i usually use a shorter lead when walking her around, but like i said i would love something bigger to use at the 4H. Thanks guys!

  • Lovely to see your dogs playing in the snow! Our dogs are flaked out in the shade over here in sunny Australia.

    We use 8 meter flexis on our normal walks. I only use a short leash for obedience, agility and when I take Tillo on a bike ride. I also like the fact that it gives them some space to run, play and sniff around.. Although as soon as I have them off leash or on a 30 m leash I notice 8 m isn't by far enough space for a B to loose all his energy ;) But it's better then getting hit by a car, so they'll have to live with it :)

    Lovely pics, and I do have a huge case of 'snow envy', at the moment :D

    I can fully relate to that Flash…

    Even down here in Tassie, its been warm enough for them not to have to wear coats, even overnight :)

  • "snow envy" - LOL!
    I'd send you some if I could, I hate shoveling.

  • @Janneke:

    Tillo hates that and it looks like he's wearing a thong.. :D ;)

    Yeees - same on Zuri :D It looks … strange :rolleyes: But I get used to it.
    The winter coat always goes over her tail and I don't like that. Thinking the wind will move under. So I fix it. The rain coat is thinner and doesn't move.
    On Thabo, it doesn't look like a thong so much. He has more muscles than Zuri and nothing can go "into" his skin.

    You can buy a green one??? :eek:
    We only have brown, black and red.
    But someone told me, that the brown looks very green :D

    Tillo doesn't like it when his tail is on top of the coat.. don't know why that is.. ;)

    I just search on the site where I bought it… it's brown.. :confused: :D It looks green to me ;) (doesn't it look green on the pics?)

    I was thinking about buying the human rain coat, so Tillo and I can walk in style.. gg.. but it's way too expensive :(

    Sweet…. My basenji doesn't really like snow... But he knows the neighborhood. Good to see a Basenji enjoying the snow. Cheers

    @Elscodobermann: Great pictures as always. There are plenty of people here in Scotland who are desperate to see Tillo in real life! if you do decide to visit i am sure all of us Scottish folk can help you to find dog friendly accomodation - and maybe arrange a basenji get-together somewhere. That sounds wonderful! I think it will be Scotland then for 2010 :) Looking forward to it already! :D Dog friendly accomodations are very welcome! :D
  • Is that…....snow?
