Do we just put his harness on over his jacket? Is it that simple? Any advice would be great -- it's starting to get cold up here! Cate

Or... Put pup on lap facing the same direction as you Hold coat almost like a bib - head opening in both hands Put over head in one (hopefully) smotth move... Any help?

It's gotten warmer this week so I'm not sure he's going to especially need it... is it a good idea to let him wear it around the house and on short walks just so he can get used to it? I don't want him to overheat...
