Thanks for sharing these two cuties!
Otis' $6.00 dog coat
-
Hey, I'll be in TX Fri and Sat…Del to Ft Worth on Fri morning, have an event in Carl's Corner on Saturday...
-
Well, I am in Houston, but no worries I will send it to you..if you want me to make AJ one. How big would you say he is weight wise. Otis is only 23 lbs but tall, so he is on the lanky side.
-
Don't do it just yet…Never know where they'll send me next. I was in Houston a couple weeks ago. Dropped almost downtown, then picked up out past Deer Park. After I finish with that event Sat (Convoy for a Cure: Breast Cancer) who knows where I go next. Would like you to meet AJ before you do something like that. He's a little sturdier than Otis. 17" and 26 lb. Most of y'all will say he's fat, but the vet is very pleased with him. And I think he's perfect.
-
I love the coat! You did a great job.
Dotty is darling. I hope she finds a wonderful home with loving humans.AJ'sHuman - If you are ever in North GA, be sure to let me know.
-
I will do that. Thank you:)

That doesn't even sound fat..I bet he looks a million in real life, pictures sure does him well..
Ok, I will wait on the coat and we'll see..it is here waiting, so let me know.Vicki, thanks for the compliments, looks like Dotty might have a family in the works, I just found out..keeping my fingers crossed for her.
-
Yay, Dotty! Hope that forever family is there for you…
-
You did a good job on the coat! He looks quite dashing in it.
I hope it all works out for Dotty she looks like a little cutie.
-
Nice job on the coat…:)
Fingers crossed that Dottie has found her forever home. Dottie looks so little next to Otis...how tall is Otis now?
-
Otis is a little over 17" so pretty tall and he is very lean, lanky and maybe teenage looking skinny..lol. I think he is a fairly thin B and longish in his body, so I guess he fits into our 6'+ family very well, he looks like his momma.. Do they go through an awkward time in their youinger years?..he is 9.5 mo.
Dotty, on the other hand, is a little petite thing. She is short, I don't know how short, but weighs about 19lbs, some puppy chuink is still on her..
-
Great job on the coat!
-
Wow, great job on that Petra! You are very talented. I don't know if Buddy would wear a jacket or not. This will be our first winter. Maybe I'll order one? You could sell those at the Petra's Pooch Palace.
-
Great job on the coat - I especially like the fact that it is far enough back of his front legs so it doesn't bind in any way!
-
great job on the coat! I made my basenjis' coats a couple of years ago. I'd gotten some windblock fleece.
for those wanting to try making your own, fleece is very easy to work with and you don't have to do anything with the edges - it won't fray. Fleece is fairly cheap, but heavier fleece or windblock can be pricey, but if you have a Joann's nearby they run sales and coupons all the time.
-
Thanks all…
and yes, Fleece is the best to work with, it requires very little sewing knowledge, yet the results are very nice..andright now, at least here in Houston, the prices are reduced by 50%..can't beat that..and coupons, got to love those 40% off coupons.. -
Fleece also makes great dog blankets. Again, for the non-sewers, just cut and don't worry about the edges. There are lots of patterns on line where the edges are tied in knots or just fringed. One or two layer fleece blankets. Cheap, machine washable, and lots of colors to choose from. (Just don't iron it!!!)
