Winter is coming. It may not seem like it what with triple digit weather but it is on its way. That or I made Mr. N suffer through modeling a fleece in August for nothing.

| This is Mr. N’s you made me wear fleece in August face |
Several of you have commented on the tartan fleece that Mr. N sometimes wears. It’s from Gold Paw, a local company which also makes harnesses and rain coats and other items. To celebrate our blogiversary, we’ll be giving away a solid color fleece so your dog can dress like Mr. N! He gets more compliments on his wardrobe than I do.
While Mr. N has many fripperies (like his dinosaur hoodie for example), I find myself reaching for his Gold Paw fleece quite often. It’s quite stretchy so it doesn’t impede his movement at all. The fleece is light and warm (fall-weight) and good for layering under his rain coat. Mr. N gets cold pretty easily (he was shivering yesterday after playing in the river and it was 90 degrees) due to having little body fat and having a single coat. So it’s nice having something that I can stuff in my purse just in case.
It washes nicely and dries fast. I’ll wash it the night before and it’s usually ready to go the next morning. I haven’t tried putting it in the dryer but the care instructions say it can tumble dry low.
The fleece comes in sizes ranging from two (Chihuahua puppy) to 30 (Great Dane), according to their sizing chart. Mr. N wears an eight for reference. The solid color fleeces are made with recycled polyester and spandex and made in the USA. Some are even made in Oregon!
The print fleece is not as stretchy as the solid colors. They sent us a size eight and ten (which is what he wears in the print fleeces) and the ten looks like a robe on him. Gold Paw suggests sizing down. He is wearing the eggplant fleece in this photo and marine blue in the others (it also comes in camel, grass, fuchsia, red pumpkin, eucalyptus, robin egg, blue, black and sunflower yellow).

Against my black fur, I would look so cool in one of those eggplant fleeces. We'd be the best dressed dogs on the trail, Mr. N.

They would match!

Great looking fleece! Happy FitDog Friday!

Stay fashionable and warm! We don't wear coats here. Last winter, Bailie had to wear one for a time because of the extreme cold and she didn't have her full fur yet, but not this year, she has fur now. Thanks for joining the FitDog Friday blog hop!

Your crew has a lot more fur than he does! And strictly speaking, he has hair.

Great pics Mr. N 🙂 You look pawsome in your fleece! I think Ruby would look good in the sunflower yellow.
August 8, 2014 4:46 pm
That's quite a wardrobe you have there Mr. N. ANd you look pretty fit and fine in all of them!
August 8, 2014 4:59 pm
What a handsome model you are Mr. N!
August 8, 2014 5:03 pm
That first picture is great…lol…a fleece in August!
August 8, 2014 8:25 pm
I had to bribe him…. heavily. He really is very patient with photos though.
August 8, 2014 6:58 pm
Those coats look fabulous! My girls have to wear warm clothes in the winter, too!
August 8, 2014 8:28 pm
I think some of the jewel tones would look great on your girls! Do they wear the same size?
August 8, 2014 8:22 pm
We'd love any color as we'll likely donate it to an animal rescue group for pups that need protection during the colder months! Thanks for the opportunity!
August 8, 2014 8:28 pm
That sounds like an excellent cause!

Blue- though I like the plaid, just not a huge fan of red.
August 9, 2014 2:50 am
Looking good! I like the blue or purple.
August 9, 2014 3:30 am
My personal favorite color is blue, but my five rescued Treeing Walker Coonhounds each have their own "personal
color. For my senior girl it's red; my deaf hound girl Ran's is blue: Kenji is orange; Kyoko's is fuchsia; and Seiji's is green.

Thats a good looking fleece. My personal favorite is blue. Fleece in August looking sharp, who would have thought?
August 9, 2014 2:55 pm
Blue is my favorite
August 9, 2014 6:41 pm
Lumpy would be even more handsome, if that is possible, in eggplant. He is our little prince and eggplant (purple) is the color of royalty. Thank you!
August 9, 2014 7:30 pm
I like the camel brown color. They're great! Thanks for the chance to win one for our malamute.
August 10, 2014 12:14 pm
Purple & pink are my pup's favorite colors so that would be the color fleece we'd choose. Thanks so much for th chance 🙂
August 10, 2014 1:37 pm
PAWsome! Looking great 🙂 Golden Woofs
August 10, 2014 7:48 pm
Blue is our favorite color.
August 11, 2014 7:11 pm
It looks like Mr. N was a very good sport about modeling fleece in August. He looks handsome in every color! I really like the pumpkin color, but Luke would be the one wearing it and he looks really good in red.
August 12, 2014 1:47 am
I think the color I would choose is Eucalyptus Green

Love the plaid! Would look great on Tahoe.
August 15, 2014 2:04 pm

August 15, 2014 4:44 pm
Ooh, purple!!
August 15, 2014 6:46 pm
