Canada Pooch Puffer Jacket for Dogs

Dad

Okay. New thing. What do you think?

Boldo

It's blue. It's loud when you move. The tag smells like chemicals and I don't trust it. Is this going outside or are you just storing it in my space?

Dad

I'm going to need more than that. How does it smell?

Boldo

Like I said. Chemicals. Factory smell. There's something underneath that might be nylon or whatever they make these with. Give it a few days and maybe it'll smell like something real. Right now it smells like broken promises.

Dad

You seemed reluctant to try it. What happened when you did?

Boldo

You grabbed me when I wasn't paying attention and stuffed me into it. The first thing I noticed was how tight the leg holes are—they're snug without being cutting off. Then I realized I could actually move. It's not restricting. That's when I got mad because I wanted to hate it more. Also, the cat doesn't have one and that feels unfair. Is she getting one too?

Dad

Anything about this that actually impressed you? Be honest.

Boldo

Fine. The pockets are deep enough to hide treats in, which I discovered on the second walk. The insulation works. It was cold yesterday and I stayed warm without feeling like I was wearing a sleeping bag. The reflective strips are bright. I'll give you that. Still don't like the way it crinkles.

Dad

Final verdict. Don't hold back.

Boldo

It's functional. Better than I expected. I'm not thrilled about wearing it, but I'm not miserable either. It fits well, keeps me warm, and doesn't ride up. The smell is still wrong but I'm adjusting. You got a decent one this time.
