Shearling jackets and wide leg pants are set to be key trends. Invest in a Dog Umbrella Okay this one’s not for YOU per se, however if you plan on not ALWAYS having to towel dry the ol’ pup after walkies, may we recommend… Heat that Humble Abode Right It’s winter and we’re feeling the chills! - and mustering up the courage to leave our beds is the ultimate bane.
