LOL - it wouldn't be a bad idea... Burr's "hunting jacket" is just an old orange ski cap with holes cut in it for his head and front legs. (We'd found out that all hunting dogs had to have blaze orange jackets on them according to state law... we figured that he'd be too small to be considered a hunting dog by the authorities :) OTOH, many dog owners around here have custom-made jackets and 'booties' for their otherwise indoor dogs (the 'booties' keep salt out of the dogs' paws, which can irritate the dog to no end. They also keep ice shards from cutting into the more sensitive parts of a dog's paw pads. Heh - it snows a LOT up here.) /P
