Pups in coats, eh?

The weather has been a bit cold and/or rainy over the past few weeks (it is winter, after all).  And, yes - I wear a coat when out and about in this weather.  And while I'm out and about I keep seeing more and more pups in coats.  Yes, you read that correctly.  Pups in coats.  WTF?

What's the deal?  Is this really necessary?  I mean - the weather isn't that bad (I live in Oakland, not Fairbanks).  And dogs have fur which I thought kept them warm.  Or is that just a ruse?  And do they need raincoats?  Are they made out of sugar and will melt away if touched by a drop of rain?  

Don't get me wrong.  I love pups.  But I prefer to see pups in their natural state (with fur showing) and not in a rain slicker or shearling coat.  I'm just saying...
