| blankets--questions Ok--so I see lots of pictures with the cute little blankets with the tied edges... Question 1-- do your puppies/dogs tear the tied edges off (or try to)? Question 2-- are there several sellers of these? i have seen lots of pics with really cute patterns, but have not found those patterns on the sites i searched. Question 3-- do the dogs really like them or are you just able to get really cute pics with them on them for a few short minutes? My two keep dragging their beds around the house. I thought the blankets might be an option for them. Thanks in advance for your help.

| I have at least ten of the fleece with tied edges. Mine use them all the time. I have them on the couches, in their crates, sometimes in their car seats, on my bed... all over the place. Mine have never chewed on them - maybe dug around a bit to make a bed up, but no chewing. (amazing for my crew ) I take them to other peoples houses too, so the dogs won't be directly on their furniture. I just toss one on the couch and the dogs know that's their spot! I really like them alot... some are better quality than others.. hope this helps |

| My dogs do not chew them and they really do love blankets as much as I do. I have a bunch of them all over the house and I actually got a new one yesterday! I find them very practical for many reasons: 1) soft, warm and cozy and easy to wash 2) instead of washing your dog's bed over and over, put a blanket it on it so you can wash the blanket easier and wash the bed less (this is especially a good thing to do if you have a big dog too) 3) Its great for travel, to put in carriers for winter, strollers, car seats, crates etc. 4) I actually take a blanket with me everytime I go to the groomer and I leave it with Chloe so she can feel more secure and the groomer likes that I do this I personally get all my blankets from www.sadieschicboutique.com she has been a long time YT member She will also do special request designs if you want a certain theme or color you dont see on her website

| thanks for your help My two seem to be chewers and I was worried about the blankets. Payday is Friday, so I plan on ordering two--1 boy and 1 girl themed one...they will probably fight over them or choose the opposite.....they are crazy little creatures!

| i would had the same worries!!! esp since kikko is a big chewer and tug-a-war enthusiast he digs at it a lot though, to adjust the blanket to just how he likes it ... i think its adorable. but he LOVES his blanket that a fellow YT'er made for me, her name is Kimmie (www.pamperpuppalace.com), i also got one for my GE buddy from www.chloebella.com (but i warn you if you go to her site, she makes the CUTEST dresses ) and if you are looking for blankets without fringes, i also bought a really pretty fleece and satin blanket from Des (go.fetch.home.comcast.net), it looks so pretty .. i can't wait to get it back home. and i bought another blanket for my GE buddy from barkindogclothes.com (they do great embroidery and very willing to work with you on anything) Below are pics ... 1. The one that kimmie made for me 2. the one i got for my GE buddy from barkindogclothes.com 3. the kind that i got from Des at GoFetch, but i got the stars and galaxy blankie with blue satin and embroidery (Des, sorry that I used your pic, I hope you don't mind). hopefully i was of some help! goodluck!

| The only place I've gotten blankets from was Kristin's Kreations but unfortunately she no longer makes them (Lil Mis Sailor). She made the ones that tie and I have never had a problem with Mia chewing on them. I must have 12 of them and have also given them as gifts. Like everyone else said we have them everywhere! I even leave one at my Mom's so Mia knows it's ok to be there. All of the above YTers make wonderful blankets and I'm sure if you've seen a print that you like that they'd be happy to get it and make one for you... hard choice, huh? Good Luck!

Donating YT 30K Club Member | Mine have never chewed them and I have them all over, beds, crates, stroller. I bought a few and then decided to make my own, and it was easy just time consuming.
