They are washable and when they are worn out (Mitzi manages always to get holes in them after 5 to 10 times wearing them) I just throw them away and make new ones. You get 2 sets out of 1 pair of gloves. The rubber dots are great on slippery surfaces. What I like most is that they are string knit and have no seams.

O.M.G.! That is the most ingenious idea I've ever seen! Well, for Yorkie booties, anyway. I just spent a fortune ordering some online from a company that makes them for sled dogs, and I'm not particularly happy with them. Yours are great! And, like you say, SIMPLE! I am totally going to steal your idea for boys!

And, if I ever get around to finishing my article, I'd love to include that! It's so simple, people might just try it, and the more Yorkies we can make happy in the winter, the more healthy Yorkies there are going to be.

Thanks!
