My family thinks I'm insane

So I put his snowsuit on yesterday and off we went. My brother thought I was nuts, but oh well, at least Kaji was nice and warm, and Kaji made a lot of people smile at the airport. It did make me realize Kaji needs boots for the rain. He hates having his feet cleaned, and I'm not a big fan of wet paws in my car. Maybe boots will solve the problem?

Where did you find a snow suit?? We don't have snow in Nor cal where I live either, but I'm heading up to Tahoe soon and I'd love to get one for my two.

These are the booties we finally found for Shadow. They are Muttluks Hot Doggers.

I got the "balloon" ones and they really are like balloons....no matter what we tried we could not get them on.

I also got a pair that look like actual boots? Too small

These are great, they are almost like socks, but have the treads on the bottom, they are made of fleece and have velcro wrap.

They also make a heavier duty one also, didn't want to spend more money.

Here's the link.

I'm insanely in love with my babies. They look so cute all dressed up. I have to get a picture of her geared up. It is too darn cute. I use fleece booties that have the velcro they are the only kind of booties that will stay on Odie's feet.

It's a monkey daze snowsuit I bought from Ryan (RDB911). I like it since it seems so warm and cozy, the pants fit perfectly and Kaji doesn't pee on it (it's short enough) but it has all these sparkles on the inside that I think might be itchy. I bought it because I planned to take him to Big Bear in the near future, or just to have since we've been to the snow before and were unprepared. I think a nice fleece jammie will keep him extra toasty and keep the itchy sparkles away.

And I hear my bf talking to him telling him poor baby you have to put up with your mom being crazy!! But I dont care what he says for me it doesnt hurt my feelings because he doesnt know what hes talking about.

And your not one of "those mommies" even ppl with bigger dogs will sometimes put sweaters on their dogs in the winter we all should have known this would be normal as part of our puppies care because of their size so dont worry HE'S insane!!! lol

Ask him if he would rather you be one of those people who don't care about their animals and let them freeze to death, like that schmuck who left his sick elderly Yorkie outside overnight at the shelter AFTER it closed because he didn't want to take care of him anymore.

Don't you worry about loving your baby!!

I got Rylie's booties from Walmart (Lulu Pink). They are little pink ones. They have zippers and then velcro straps that secure them around her legs. The velcro straps are what keep them on. I have to make sure they are good and tight around her leg so they don't pop off in the snow. We haven't had any problems!

By the way everyone, thanks for giving support and sharing your stories! It is so nice to come here and interact with people who get our mommy instincts. I know I'm doing what is best for my baby and I know we all do! It's just hard sometimes to ignore the snide comments
