Mirtillo and Lycia in the snow


  • @Elysium:

    I love your pics, too! ๐Ÿ˜ƒ They are always great!

    Which size is Tillo's Hurtta-coat? It's the brown one, isn't it?
    Thabo wears Zuri's black one. It's 33cm long and fits very well when I fix it at Thabos hind legs. But 2-3cm more would be better for him, I think. More around the body. Meanwhile, he is much "more" than Zuri :rolleyes:

    Mirtillo has a size 36 in his Hurtta coat and it's the green one ๐Ÿ˜ƒ
    I never fix it around the hindlegs.. Tillo hates that and it looks like he's wearing a thong.. ๐Ÿ˜ƒ ๐Ÿ˜‰


  • Do you have them tied up to really really long leads or is someone holding those long leads?

    There is 30 meter leash between them. In this forrest there are a lot of foxes, deers etc and dogs are not allowed to walk off leash.. So we mostly hold the leash.. Especially now with this coldโ€ฆ Don't want one of the pups to go missing for a night.. And Lycia keeps trying to get on the ice.. So I don't want her off leash near water/ice.. When spring is back, they'll get more freedom again.. ๐Ÿ˜ƒ


  • oh ok, kool. Just wondering, I would love to get something like that for Lilu when I bring her to the 4H to play with my moms dog.


  • I use a 25 foot(7.5m) retractable Flexi lead on AJ that was made for a 110 lb (50kg) dog. It gives him enough room to run a little but I still retain control.


  • I think I have a 5m that i use for lilu when i take her out to go potty but i usually use a shorter lead when walking her around, but like i said i would love something bigger to use at the 4H. Thanks guys!


  • Lovely to see your dogs playing in the snow! Our dogs are flaked out in the shade over here in sunny Australia.

    We use 8 meter flexis on our normal walks. I only use a short leash for obedience, agility and when I take Tillo on a bike ride. I also like the fact that it gives them some space to run, play and sniff around.. Although as soon as I have them off leash or on a 30 m leash I notice 8 m isn't by far enough space for a B to loose all his energy ๐Ÿ˜‰ But it's better then getting hit by a car, so they'll have to live with it ๐Ÿ™‚

    Lovely pics, and I do have a huge case of 'snow envy', at the moment ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

    I can fully relate to that Flashโ€ฆ

    Even down here in Tassie, its been warm enough for them not to have to wear coats, even overnight ๐Ÿ™‚


  • "snow envy" - LOL!
    I'd send you some if I could, I hate shoveling.


  • @Janneke:

    Yeees - same on Zuri ๐Ÿ˜ƒ It looks โ€ฆ strange :rolleyes: But I get used to it.
    The winter coat always goes over her tail and I don't like that. Thinking the wind will move under. So I fix it. The rain coat is thinner and doesn't move.
    On Thabo, it doesn't look like a thong so much. He has more muscles than Zuri and nothing can go "into" his skin.

    You can buy a green one??? :eek:
    We only have brown, black and red.
    But someone told me, that the brown looks very green ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

    Tillo doesn't like it when his tail is on top of the coat.. don't know why that is.. ๐Ÿ˜‰

    I just search on the site where I bought itโ€ฆ it's brown.. ๐Ÿ˜• ๐Ÿ˜ƒ It looks green to me ๐Ÿ˜‰ (doesn't it look green on the pics?)

    I was thinking about buying the human rain coat, so Tillo and I can walk in style.. gg.. but it's way too expensive ๐Ÿ˜ž
