If you
Mah ol' red sweater is just as comfy and just as interesting as hers. No, nobody coloured a picture to win me a shopping spree at some northern store. And, no, my sweater prob'ly isn't thirty years old.
But mah Mama Jean bought it at the Cowichan and District SPCA Garage Sale a few years ago, which as you know is a HUGE annual event. And who knows what other amazing, sweet, cute, wonderful, clever dog had it before that? Maybe even more than one. An' I think maybe Belle or Shiloh, two small shelties that lived here, wore it for a while too. So it has a loooong history, and it exemplifies thriftiness and environmental awareness - we is not fillin' the landfill wiv this one till it is well and truly worned out.
Anyhow, after all those other dogs, now it's mine, and I don't mind it at all even though I'm not really a clothes sorta dog. But since Mama Jean keeps the house rather cool (yes you do Mama Jean, you keep it freezings!), I like to have my sweater on at this time of year.
Sometimes I even sleep in it! It is very snuggly. And I think it looks rather nice on me....don'tcha think so too?
Love and kissesses,

Mitzi, I love your red sweater and you look beautiful in it too. I have a few sweaters but don't wear them in the house because my Mom keeps the house toasty and warm! Love Sparkle
ReplyDeleteMitzi you look beauuuuuutiiiiifullllllll
ReplyDeleteI have an old red sweater too, it's about 25 years old and soo comfy! So I totally get that a red sweater is just about the most comfy sweater there is.
It's very cute..
ReplyDeleteI'm sure there are lots of sentimental red sweater stories.. I have one too... My mother, who was an AMAZING seamstress- re-fashioned (a woman's) soft wool razzberry red turtleneck sweater for my little pug faced velvety black spaniel... It was the cutest thing going in canine clothing....She also refitted a hand knit, hand spun, wool, icelandic turtleneck sweater for my other spaniel.. Wish I had pictures!..
I must have given the sweaters away however, during one of my crazy, hectic moves maybe????... since I cannot seem to find them?...(I loved my spaniels best shaved so they needed added clothing in winter).
I still have 4 of the lovely dog coats & sweaters that she hand made & knit, thankfully... they fit my larger dog, for those times she gets left in the car (briefly) in winter (while I shop)... I'll hang onto these ones.. for her & other dogs that may need the added warmth.
