| Those with Chi's...size help please My daughter is driving on Fri 4 hrs to pick up a 9 wk old Chihuahua. She wants me make a little sock sweater for the ride home because she thinks with it in the crate she will be cold. Ok..so I have no idea how big a Chi puppy is..like how long at 9 wks, can someone give me an approx size? Like girth and length? And, can someone tell me how to make a sock sweater Would I use a womans sock or a kids sock? Geez...the things our kids think.."oh, yeah, mom will do that" LOL. I was thinking someone posted on here how to make a sweater sock...hmmm Thanks all!

| I don't know how to make a sweater sock but you could get a kids sock & use the ribbed part for neck opening & then cut the back out to any length you wanted to leave it.....just make sure to cut legs holes far enough apart & underneath up towards neck so they don't pee on it. Hope thuis helps some..........i am sure you will get better advice from someone else.........Good Luck

| I'm excited to get that little girlie in the family too I'm so hoping Zhoie likes her...she may actually have an occassional like play friend. I'm not so sure though...Zhoie is ok when she has met other dogs. She just lifts her head in the air and turns her face away if they approach. I'm hoping it was just because she always knew to protect her neck, so she chose to ignore, but we will see.

| Follow the link in this thread. Also, there are a number of youtube videos that tell you how to make doggie sweaters out of socks if you want to see some more. http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/yt-...out-socks.html

| Unless the baby is a Chiwhopper a kids sock would probably work best. My crew has everyone from 2# up to 12#'s. |
