I think I told you, the ones that work best for me in spring are some ones a friend made me. They are fleece on the inside with a denim material on the outside. She sprays the denim with a waterproofer. But, come to think of it, I wonder how safe that is for a Yorkie's pads? The nice thing about denim is it patches easily. |
I don't remember you telling me about the denim, but that sounds great!! The snow started really melting here yesterday (just in time for more snow tonight!
), and so Bella had to wade through puddles. :/ Needless to say, I need to come up with a better plan!! The pleather itself doesn't let water in, but the seams do. Oh well, back to the drawing board! Can you find out what she uses to waterproof the denim for me? That might work! (I used fleece on the inside of my pleather ones too, which I liked!)

I might even use canvas- we own a boat business and many of the boat tops are made of a type of canvas and they repel water quite well. We should keep eachother updated as to what works! |
Yes, the pleather is bendable and worked great as far as that's concerned! I know what you mean about liking her being able to move....that's why we got the fleece ones too! They just can't walk very good in shoes. Even though they are AH-DORABLE I must say! :P
Anyway, let me know about the canvas....I think a heavy canvas or a heavy denim sprayed with a waterproofer might be our answer!! Yes, let's definitely keep each other posted of developments on this idea!!
