Just a dog and his boy <3

Met up with @the-adventures-of-dave yesterday and it was quite fun. Mostly stayed masked or distanced and we are both vaccinated. We finally got to do our Galaxy Day, just a year later!

Happy gotcha day Sam!!! Four years ago I flew round trip to Nashville airport to pick up this tiny hairless puppy. I was a swirling mix of anxiety and excitement, terrified that I was duped and he was just a shaved rat terrier puppy. This pup immediately won me over so completely and it seems like I won him over as well. Even by the time we got to Edmonton airport in Nisku he wasn't willing to let me out of his sight. He cried the entire time I was in the washroom and immediately snuggled back into my arms. That night he slept under the blanket snuggled in between my chest and my arm as the little spoon. He now prefers to sleep with my legs as a pseudo bolster bed and will forcibly move my legs so he can get snuggled with his head on my knee. There have been a ton of ups and downs but he's a sometimes frustrating but always adored little guy. Cheers to four amazing years, pup.

Question for you! This hasn't been an issue yet as it has been cool enough to keep my xolo clothed, but summer heat is approaching and I was wondering if you had any ways you particularly like for preventing chafing from harnesses if on direct skin? Every harness that has linings they aren't on the straps which are what I worry will chafe so I was wondering if you have any advice to share on that topic :>
