| Help! Need some teeny tiny sweaters ASAP! I have a teeny tiny little 12 week old pup that only weighs 1 lb exactly. She's the smallest I've ever had and I worry about her constantly. I carry her around the house with me most of the time, but at night she sleeps in a playpen in the bedroom (too afraid me or one of the other babies will crush her!) and I've noticed the last couple days she shivers a little at night. I put little heating pads and blankets all around her and have the heat turned up in the house, but I would really like to have a couple tiny sweaters for her to wear at night to keep her extra warm. I don't have anything close to small enough for her to wear, even DeDe's puppy clothes are way too big. Can someone make me a couple teeny sweaters ASAP?? I can take her measurements, they're not much, but the sweaters need to be warm and toasty for her! Sometimes I don't get PMs sent to my email and I forget to check, so email is probably the easiest to contact me: ndstack@gmail.com. Thanks a bunch! |

| I've heard breeders say they use bear sweaters from AC Moore or Michaels on the tiny puppies. |

| I would get some of those fuzzy slipper socks and cut holes out for the head and feet until you can get one made. I don't think those build a bear items fit dogs right because they are too big in the front part between the legs. |

| I know there was a link somewhere that explains how to cut a sock into a doggy sweater. Hopefully someone else can help you out. |

| Yup! the socks work great! I've been baby sitting my SIL pups and she has a 15wk that weighs 1.5lbs and I just did the sock sweaters for her.
