Zelda and Marilyn In Their Lifejackets



















We're taking the Marilyn and Zelda out on the sailboat so we tried on their doggy life jackets to make sure they still fit. The jackets have rescue handles across the back so that you can scoop them up like luggage.

We used to have a 5 pound peekapoo that would jump in the lake to catch perch so we're firm believers in life jackets for pets. Scout was a good swimmer but tired quickly in cold water. Don't worry, Scout was never hurt in the water; she died last year from old age.

I bought the life jackets online several years ago, they are fabric covered with clip and Velcro closures. Mine are XXS and XS and I think they cost about $50 or $60 for both including shipping.













Zelda field testing her life jacket. We clipped a lead on her since we were close to a road with traffic. She adores swimming and will jump into any body of water including lakes, ponds, swimming pools and occupied bathtubs.
