This is just too cute. I run a doxie rescue and this would be a precious item to make for the little girls when they go to their new homes and the sweater for the little boys. I am torn over which I like best they are both too sweet.

This is most adorable. My dog loves to sleep under a cover. This would be perfect for her plus the flower would just make it for her. She is a rat terrier by the way......

I really like this shrugg. This is where my vote will go. But for my dog and all practical reasons when it comes to my dog the other sweater is more practical for my dog.

Everytime I click on the word "flower" to get the directions for the flower, I'm taken to an ad page for Lowe's. How do I get the directions for the flower that goes with this cute little shrug? Thanks for your help.

I will have to try this one, and instead of a flower put a service dog patch on!

I can't wait to make this for Peachie. She's my 11 year old Blue Heeler who will need at least the large size. The groomers call her a "coffee table" do to her short legs and fat body. She weighs in at a little over 70 pounds. I think I'll try to adjust this pattern so that more of her back is covered. Anyway, thank you for this pattern. I appreciate all that you do and offer.
