Birthday present

When I do cross country runs with my dog Daisy, I have noted that at the end, when we are soaked and muddy and exhausted, I will be shivering and borderline hypothermic while she is happy and toasty in her warm waterproof black coat.

So imagine my delight this morning to find she had bought me a Dry Robe as a birthday present. Now I can be warm and toasty after mud races an rainy distance runs in my blak coat too, and chaange out of wet running gear into dry clothing without inflicting the sight of my shivering nakedness on anyone nearby.

Happy birthday Rig. That's the best birthday present any muddy runner could possibly want. Daisy is a genius. :)

Should keep you dry and warm! Maybe don't risk going out in a high wind though!

Happy birthday.

Clever Daisy. And she got your size right too. I do love that rug Rignold. The colours are perfect for a running top.

There's a lot to be said for getting dirty with your dog.
