I Entertain My Neighbors

So I went home yesterday after school and it was cold and raining out. Not a huge deal normally, but I have to walk a 100 pound lab when I get home every day. I had an umbrella, but I felt bad thinking about Bailey getting cold and wet (he’s really spoiled, as you can see by the picture). Plus, I hate the smell of wet dog after a walk in the rain.

My quick thinking skills told me to make a rain jacket for him. Well, I have a regular jacket for him, but it isn’t water repellent. What to do? It’s a good thing I have worked at a summer camp – when you have, the obvious answer is to use a trash bag. Well, I put his jacket in a trash bag with only the straps hanging out and then I placed it on him. He looked confused at first, but he was fine once he was wearing it. Here are some pictures of him wearing his “rain jacket”:










I’d like to think that the cars passing by were slowing down to admire my inventiveness, but I have a feeling that they were laughing at us.
