It's not cashmere, and it's not licensed to any particular sports team despite the # 1.
And hopefully this outerwear doesn't start a trend, especially for Willamena herself.
But this new little get up was a $ 514.oo set back.

Unfortunately its a bandage from a dog bite. Mena was in a dogrun, and some dog just wanted a taste of her. He didn't just rip some hair out, he left a near four-inch slice.

It happened on what was the coldest day of the season so far, with wind chills making it feel below zero. I wasn't immediately sure what to do, since Mena's normal vet is in Connecticut near her vacation home. But just about a week earlier someone told me I had one of the city's best vets across the street from my apartment; just that there was always a three week wait.

Luckily, even though it was early Friday night, the vet was open and once they saw the gnash, the vet came right out and checked and agreed she'd need stitches.

He said the original bandage slipped, so he had to wrap her up in this jersey.

She is doing fine, though. She even found a new favorite piece of art on her walk the day after the bite happened.

Here, the E in the mid-50's between fifth and sixth, to her, stands for EAT! As in eat lots of treats when she gets home.
