hey everypawdy, Fortis' float coat
arrived today, and while the water is still frozen solid here, we had to try it on Coop and it fits right out of the box just the way Brett had the straps adjusted. Cooper stood up to have it put on and seemed to enjoy wearing it, Imonly wish we could take him swimming tomorrow! Thanks again Brett and Pattie for the wonderful and generous gift you have given Cooper!

I love it, I love it!! Yes, can't wait "till spring! You know, it is insulated and would also keep Coop warm when he's out in the cold....
Sadie is my 9yr old Rott/Shepherd mix. Diagnosed with osteosarcoma in her right scapula 1/28/10. Our brave girl had her amputation 2/13/10 and her last chemotherapy on 6/6/10. Unfortunately, a tumor appeared in her back right leg and on 10/7/2010 Sadie's earthly journey came to an end. On 10/24/2010 we adopted Ranger, a handsome Rott/Lab mix tripawd (got hit by a car) I think Sadie sent him to us.

Monkeybuttler - jealousy doth not become you! Yes jealousy - we all know you cant wear a float coat because your long back monkey legs would kick the float coat right forward off your skinny monkeyhead and you would likely drown... and from one DOG to barely another .. I dont think I would invoke the wrath of Spirit Fortis if I were you.....

Cooper, when will the monkeybutts learn??? They cannot ridicule us when we have photos to prove their foolish accusations are unfounded! You look so suave in your float coat …and your neck is not fat at all… One day we will hear them squeal as they beg you to save their flailing primate butts. I will bark so loud, they will never be heard. Maybe they can float on those stupid bunny ears!
