a McKenzie Cozy - update

I'm happy to report that McKenzie doesn't mind wearing the little coat I made her (phew). We just got back from a walk and she didn't seem to mind it at all - maybe because it was quite a brisk morning and it actually kept her warm... :)

a McKenzie Cozy

when we first got McKenzie, the weather turned cold, and when we went for morning walks her skinny little body would shudder against the cold... so one morning when it was kinda rainy I put Cooper's rain jacket on her. It really didn't fit her properly but I thought it was better than being wet and cold, but no... she really didn't like it - she would walk funny and wouldn't sit when we asked her, basically, she was just ashamed... so I decided that it was the size of the jacket and that it made a funny plasticy sound perhaps? so I bought a ball of wool and set out to make her a cute warm jacket that fit...tonight I finished it by adding the buttons.

not trying to make it too girly, I added a mohawk (mimicking the one she has on her back) and made it brown and redit seems to fit well

but... she hates it :(

look how dejected she looks (that is her tail tucked all the way up to her belly button)
I think this photo just totally sums it up... 'but, Why???'

keep it cozy

On a roadtrip to Portland last year I took my crochet to keep me busy along the way... On the way home, Bryce said "you should make me a new iPod sock" (since his current one was getting crusty). I laughed and said "OK" He is still using it too.

Christina saw it and decided she needed one for her camera, so here's the one I made for her.
