This morning, Sophie was all ready to take her walk—UNTIL I held up her harness in one hand and her coat in the other. She took one look and walked away.
I love an expressive dog! I then put the coat away and dressed her in harness only, and we took a leisurely stroll down several blocks sans coat.

Here she is in her MVP (Most Valuable Puppy) coat, a few days ago. With thanks to Leslie, who told me what those letters really stand for.
And that’s all, folks.
Happy Hanukkah, Solstice, Christmas to all!
