What a cutie pie!!

The onesies at Target are smaller. I needed some for Cocoa after her gallbladder surgery and happened to run across them. Had almost given up because even the preemies at Dillards were too big. The ones at Target are for newborns but are very narrow. Cocoa weighs just a little under 3 lbs. right now and they fit her quite nicely. Do hope, though, that she gains a bit now that she is eating.

Whenever I go to stores that has baby clothes/stuff I always go and look for my libbie. Its funny cause it makes my BF feel all weird about it. . Especially if we run into somebody we know - they're going to think I'm expecting! LOL . . . and I've had a few people ask me and I say "YES" I'm expecting my puppy on March 20th!

Yes the Jacket fits Yumi's arms just fine. I have pictures on my album page if you want to take a look. I think your puppy should fit fine into the sweaters. I get people asking me at checkout about the baby clothing and my husband goes " it's for our Yorkies!"

Yes I pee pad trained my girls...however I found that it mostly interfered with their potty training....there are WAY fewer accidents now that I removed the pads....and just put them in onesies...you can also purchase small panty liners and line the ONESIES with them if your baby has alot of accidents...

I just cut a tiny hole in the bottom for their tail...or if you put them on backwards...you can just leave the middle snap open for the tail to fit thru. It's absolutely adorable...it keeps them warm...and it saves my carpet!! It's a win/win situation!!

they do tend to shrink...after so many dryings..so I just buy some every once in awhile...and at a thrift shop...it can't get much cheaper than that....

I can't sew either...but I can stitch up little sides..cut off long feet or legs and YOU can always use Stitch witchery...which requires NO sewing ..just an iron!!

great idea! I'm going to do just that. And since my fur baby is coming home March 6. . . I'm going to quickly go to the store and run all my little errands before she gets here. =]

The premie geranimals at walmart are great for Lizzy. She weights just over 4lbs. I cut off the the bottom of the onesie and then sew on a lace or ribbon to finish the edge.

I have used the baby section in Wal-Mart as well. Newborn fits my girl (around 5 lbs) and with some alterations premies fits my boy (under 3lbs). Its a great steal for doggie clothing considering the prices online, but I have also taken a baby outfit that was on sale (ugly but for $1 cant pass that up) and used it as a sewing pattern/s to make my guys clothing out of cute fabric.
