| Sweater for Small Yorkie My 1.5 pound baby shivers like crazy whenever I take him out to potty at night. The grass is wet, which makes matters worse. I would love to put something warm on him, such as a sweater, but I have never seen anything small enough for a little puppy. Do you know some place on-line or a store that sells extra-small sweaters for little puppies? |

| Hi, your baby sounds so precious, take a look in the yorkie products for sale section. Sometimes Yt members sell stuff that their yorkies can't fit anymore. Sounds like you need xxsmall, good luck to you.

| Take a sock and cut the end off of it and cut holes for the front legs to go through. You can buy the cute fuzzy socks and it looks really cute and sweater-like

| If it takes awhile to find something that small, you can make one out of a sock! Make a hole for his head and a hole for each front paw, then cut the length right so it doesn't 'get in the way' of him going potty. It might not look great, but it will keep him warm! You can make several so if that one gets wet while outside, you can change him into another if you want him to sleep in one to stay warm inside.

| You can also get cheap teddy bears at resale shops that have sweaters on them and use the sweater. If you want something new go to Michaels's (craft store). They have ton's of sweaters they sell for teddy bears that would be the perfect size and I think they are only 3 or 4 dollars!

| Hi We had the same problem with our little Sophie. The socks work out awesome! You can buy the fuzzy socks and cut the end off to fit the body and little wholes for the legs. They look so cute and keep them warm. Here is a picture with Sophie wearing her "sock sweater" Good Luck |

| i got a teddy bear sweater from Michaels, but my pup cant walk in it...since teddy bears have arms that stick out to the side, it may not be the best fit for a puppy. i think the sock is a great idea and am going to try it today!! |
