Thanks for the great tips.

My wife bought some at a local outdoors show that I love, but I've had a surprisingly hard time finding the same pair anywhere commercially. They are just a nylon sack with a thin fleece lining. Here are some general tips:

* Booties for the snow shouldn't be fitted, i.e., they shouldn't look like people shoes. Fitted shoes have a tendency to spin on the ankle in the snow.
* Simple is best. A rectangular nylon sack with a velcro tie is all you need. It looks like a mini sleeping bag. If you can find some with a fleece lining, so much the better but it's not essential. The main thing you want to do is keep the cold snow off the pad and make them as comfortable as possible.
* They only need to be about 2" long for a Yorkie. Make sure they don't extend over the ankle joint.

The best advice is to try not to spend too much money on them. They fall off and get lost. They wear out fairly fast. Mitzis Mom may have the best idea yet. She makes her own in about 10 minutes. Check out Post #42 on this thread:
