This One's for the Dogs....

My canine nieces.....to be exact.

My sister has two miniature schnauzers - one being a puppy. I have to be honest here and tell you that it's her schnauzer that actually converted me to liking small dogs. I've always been a big dog lover - labs, retrievers, rottweilers, etc. and thought of smaller dogs as "big dog snacks" until I met Gretchen:

Total cuteness. 


And now add their puppy Maxine to the family:

Oh my word. 

Now for another confession. I've never been a fan of dogs wearing clothes. That is until I found a reason to justify buying the BEAUTIFUL Aloha print fleece that I admire every single time I walk into one of my local fabric stores!

Since we don't have a dog (and Gretchen and Maxine live thousands of miles away) I had to ask my sister to take some measurements for me. Hopefully I did everything right and they will fit! Here are some local models trying on the jackets:

Hopefully these little fleece jackets will keep the dogs warm this winter! I will upload pictures of the actual dogs (if they fit) when they receive it!

WOOF WOOF!
