| Buddy Belts!! We finally received our Buddy Belts in the mail today! I have to say... when I opened the package, I was kind of disappointed. Khloe's size two seemed tiny. I expected more of a harness and it seemed kind of dinky. When I put them on, they both felt kind of tight. They were both on the second to last hole (without clothes), and I was upset. I let them walk around with them on... and then checked how tight they were. I was able to tighten Couver's one more hole but Khloe is still on the second to last. I'm going to see how I feel about them after they wear them for a while... I'm hoping I didn't wait 3 weeks to send them back

I ♥ Joey & Ralphie! Donating Member | I've only seen the size three, both of my boys wear the three. The second one I ordered is much stiffer than the 5 year old one, but I guess it was stiffer 5 years ago. My boys are 5 1/2 pounds and 4 1/2 pounds, how big are your girls? I've read that you can put them in the last whole if they are wearing clothes, but otherwise you shouldn't.

When I was looking at the BB's, I will admit I thought the 3 was way too small for Kaji. I was holding a 5, but the sales person recommended I went smaller. It wasn't until we had it on Kaji that I saw how misleading they looked.

| My Buddy Belts arrived today! I ordered from Maximo. She was super fast btw. Peyton is a skinny 5 pounds and I ordered him the size 3. I wish they had a 2.5...without clothes on I think the 3 is maybe just a tinge to big. Sophia is a curvy 7.5 pounds. Unlike Peyton, she always wears clothes. The 3.5 is perfect on her. My next order will be a red one for Peyton and a pink one for Sophia!

| I took some quick pictures today before we headed out with Couver and Khloe in their jackets for the dog park. I will have to post some nekkid pictures tomorrow

| I went by their measurments because I thought it would be more accurate than their weights... Khloe is a very tall and skinny 5.0 pounds and Couver is a more stocky/muscly 7.0 pounds. I don't remember their measurements, but they were right in the middle of their sizes, so I thought they would be perfect... I didn't want them too small or too big. Ugh. I just don't know. I'm starting to think they are fine. I think the 3 would be too big on K. I guess I could try Couver's on Khloe.

| Also with the BBs... where the leash connects, should it be centered on their backs like regular harnesses? Both Couver and Khloe's are farther to the right

The hot pink looks awesome on Khloe, and the black is super cool on Couver! Perfect color choices. Try Couver's size 3 on Khloe nekkid. I know she is a string bean from your pictures. If the size 3 is too big on her, then work on manually stretching the arm circles of the size 2. The BB will loosen up with use, but you can help it along.

| I have to say, I did not like my BB at first and actually returned both of them! Jackson was in between a 5 and a 6 and so I bought both and could not decide between the two, but the difference was substantial between the 5 and 6. One looked a lot bigger than the other... I was very "ehhh" about them and after paying $80, "Ehhh" wasn't good enough for me so I returned them. Probably 7 months later (this past October, I think) I don't know what came across me but I decided to try it one more time, going with the size 5 and now I'm in love! I don't know, it was kind of weird, it took me a while. Now it's almost the only harness we use.... I went with 5 because the 6 had a "bulk" where the d-ring was and when I'd buckle it, it would bunch up if that makes sense (because on the 6, it had to be tightened almost all the way) whereas the 5 it's on the loosest end (either hole 1 or hole 2) so we have more of a "centered" harness.

It is a big change from a traditional strappy harness or a vest harness. Not everyone will be converted. (wish I could convince Teddy to wear that hot pink, lol, it so pretty )
