You know what one of my most favourite things in the world is?

Dogs in raincoats.

We are so blessed to live in the same world as that.

Dogs in raincoats are a very good thing.

I don’t mean to be dramatic but I would die for RustyDog

There’s someone in my area whose greyhound wears not only a raincoat, but also bootees. Very cute, and it’s so used to them it doesn’t even do a funny walk

I love watching videos of dogs wearing their boots for the first time and how confused and stuck they are.

My sister has a greyhound. Because she has approximately 0% body fat on her Molly needs to wear pyjamas each night during winter. Every night after dinner she trots over to the box where her pyjamas are kept and makes intense eye contact with you until you put them on her.

Good for the greyhound that it’s used to the shoes. Shame for you because watching dogs doing the bootie walk is a 100/10 dopamine hit

ME TOO. I love them so much 💓

So many of them around on my walk this morning. Just so outstanding.

Also dogs in prams and nappies. What a time to be alive!

The best is when you see someone getting into a train with a pram but it turns out to be a dog in the pram, not a baby. The best kind of surprise.
