Banning Thread Dictator Donating Member | alaskayorkiebooties! After 2 years of whining about not being able to find the perfect bootie for my guys, I talked my mother-in-law into making a set to my specs. They came out great! Shana's gonna kill me for the loud colors clashing with their outfits, but I wanted them bright so they can be found if they fall off. The only thing I'd change is I'd go a little higher up on the velcro. The specs for Eddie's bootie: 3" tall 2" wide Nylon outer layer Fleece liner 3/4" velco metal buckle And, no, I have no plans to mass produce these for profit. It took us almost an hour a bootie for this first set!

Banning Thread Dictator Donating Member | LOL, nooo! They'd look like bumblebees if their whole outfits were that bright. I haven't tried them out yet. I hope the nylon isn't too slippery.

| Cute They need some grippy tread on the bottom, though. I think the boys would look smashing in a bright yellow and red outfit

| As for slip control... Can you cut some of them peel & stick sanding paper on the bottom? or sew on some plastic golf cleats.

Banning Thread Dictator Donating Member | Yeah, we went out in real icy conditions, and Eddie started out walking pretty gingerly. They were slippery. By the end of the walk, he was sprinting, but I'm going to have to do something about the traction. Thanks for the suggestions!

| It's gotta be funny watching him slide out on the corners tho!! It always makes me laugh when Dougal turns the corner too fast his body goes round the bend but his feet don't and he face plants. That boy has learnt to use his head as a pivot. Yorkies are highly adaptable dogs! LOL!
