Since we're on the subject of clothes, are there any dangers associated with leaving clothes on them when you're not home????

Even tho we live in Florida and it's no way NEAR cold here at all. (still in the 90's

) Pita gets cold when it rains and it's damp outside cuz here we always have the air on so she gets a chill, she has her share of warm clothes and I just ordered some joggers for after her bath, she freezes then!

when winter comes and money is somewhat less than the month

I use my old sweaters, I cut the sleeves off, you can some make cute little turntle necks sweeters when you roll up the cuff! sometimes I shop at the thrift store and if i see a cool sweeter that would work I would buy it and make sweaters for tilly and sami and for larger dogs you use your husbands old sweeter sleeve or just look for sleeves that are somewhat stretched at your local thrift store, the top of the sleeve would be the top just like it would be when you wear it, cut slits under it near the seam measure the separation from your babys legs, and you can get creative and they would make christmas presents

I think that's a good question. Hopefully, someone with more experience will answer. We take Eddie's coat off when he comes in the house. But now that you ask, I'd be afraid of it getting caught on something or a leg getting stuck in an awkward position.

But I have to get some soon, when I brought Sadie in after she went out to go potty today she was shivering so much, and just from being outside for 2 minutes. I had to bundle her up in the fleecy blankie!

You should try Ebay! I wanted something to keep my baby warm, but couldn't afford them at $50 a pop. On ebay I got a gorgeous white jacket with a hood and a touch of elegant fur and it fits her beautifully! It is just a good of quality, if not better, then some of the store bought items I have. The best part - it was like $12!!! They have great buys and unique items for really great prices!!!!

I have not been a clothes buyer for my critters. BUT, Cara (my new little girl) gets cold sleeping with us cause we sleep with the ceiling fan and window fan on. I am a convert-she needs jammies. I bought one shirt and paid $10.00 for it. I CAN BUY A 3 PACK FOR ME FOR THAT MUCH!! So, I have made a pattern from it and well, for a quarter, I can make one..I might consider slippers...
I keep seeing references to eBay. Do you buy from a store on there or an auction?

Our two little 5 lb yorkie girls have not been out in any snow, they are both puppy pad trained even tho they love to go outside when the weather is nice. They do feel the drafts of the house sometimes and then I put a baby-newborn size-t-shirt on them. Can get them for $1.00 at some Dollar Stores, also Walmart has newborn baby t-shirts reasonably priced in a 3 pk....not the onesie type tho unless you want to do some alterations. Might want to try those baby departments !! We also put sweaters on them because their feet feel cold even with their very long hair.

The youngest loves to sleep under a thermal blanket thats her's alone, while her older sister couldn't be caught under a blanket, she wants to see whats going on ! We don't leave them dressed in anything when we're out of the house.

I've made the "sleeve conversion" to sweater also, its pretty easy to do with some imagination. They have more clothes in their wardrobe then we do and if thats not being spoiled, ours prefer to have their food "warmed & elevated a little".
