Greta Donut

The temperatures have dropped drastically in the past few days here in Atlanta, and poor naked Greta was freezing her little weimaheiney off at night. We like to keep the heat at 60ish at night to create a frosty bedroom, so the poor animals were freezing to death-more than I knew. After consulting with my sewing elders, I decided on this fleece design. Since Greta sleeps on the couch anyway, she just needed a barricade around the sides to hold in some body heat. So I cut a fleece blanket in half ($5), and sewed two 60" tubes out of it. Then stuffed the two tubes with three king sized washable pillows ($12) and cut ties in the fleece at each end of the tubes and tied them off, to create this triangular snuggle donut. $17 dollars total. Beats the $150 dollar Ginat dog beds at the store.


She found it within seconds and hasn't gotten up all night.




Amelia, the cat likes to try to cuddle, but Greta does not approve.



I think Amelia had a plan. But she did eventually get kicked out and was given the extra fleece blanket (purchased, but not used) and has been snuggled up inside since. THe poor animals were freezing to death it seems.

Afternoon cuddle ritual



Is this ridiculous or what? Greta has to cuddle with Josh on the couch when he gets home every afternoon for about 30 minutes. Our poor children are going to have to be aggresive to get a spot on the couch when that day comes.

Frozen Apples-Great Summer Doggy Treat!

Just grab one out of the freezer after a hot day outside.
Apple portion should be relative to dog size!
Greta gets a whole one.

Pre-Dog Coat

So, as it looks like we are officially headed to Syracuse in the fall, I took it upon myself to research heavy dog coats for my nearly naked weimaraner so she doesn't turn into a weimacicle when it drops below...well we won't talk about how low it will drop. So I found a camel colored vinyl material for the waterproof shell, and extra fleece layers for the inside, lined with another layer of olive-brown fleece. THe two fabrics on top are going to be attachable turtleneck pieces. Probably going to attach with velcro. The other picture is reflector trim, that's why its glowing. I'm not sure where I'm going to put it, but I thought it was cool. I will post later once my pattern arrives in the mail and I get started.
