Not that it matters, Lola runs totally nekkid these days. How weird is that? Sweaters in a warm climate, move north, and suddenly it's NEKKID CHIWAWA all the time.

I'll still dress mine when it's cold out, but when it's snowy they have to be nekkid because snow is wet (who knew?). But before moving here anything below sixty was a call for OUTFITS!
