These Chilly Dogs coats are warm, easy to put on and look great, but none of those are the most important quality in a coat

The most important quality is durability. There’s something in the winter air which seems to get my two extra-riled up

And so the coats tend to become coats of armor for some seriously epic battles

The jackets weather much more than weather. Like Penny’s teeth, for example

Any Chicago residents who can’t make it to an NHL game can visit Montrose Dog Beach this winter to watch my two brawlers pull on each other like hockey fighters.

Admission is free!

  10. Thing at least one of those photos shows a clear-cut cross checking penalty and another borders on a game misconduct. My kind of girl. 🙂
