Hi Ladies,
Hope all you newenglanders are enjoying the clean, crisp air. We recently got a nine month old jack russell, love him! The cool mornings make him shiver and i would like to attempt to make him some sweaters or other clothings. Right now i just wrap him up in whatever but it doesn't work so well. Just wondering if anyone had tried and found a particuarly good pattern or idea. He is my first small dog.
I would also like to put out some thoughts on animal shelters. Please instead of throwing out old or tattered blankets, covers or towels, donate them to your local shelter. And if you can afford the time, most shelters would greatly benefit from volunteers. Even a couple hours in the afternoon spent exercising the animals is a huge help and service. You might just fall in love too!

Re: dog clothes
Tue, December 19, 2006 - 11:08 PMTry kid's vests from thrift stores. You put them on the dog so the zipper is on the underside and the arm holes are for the dog's front legs. Then you sew in a drawstring around the waste to cinge the coat tight. My dogs love their silver and yellow vests!
