Dog Accessories on Pinterest and You Tube

Bon Bon has been born and will be old enough to take home BEFORE Christmas! Yahoo!!! His dam and sire produced three pups and all are male.

I've got most of the basics that will be needed. The harness I purchased is pink, but there is a chance that he will outgrow it quickly. To store his things, I got an inexpensive plastic dresser.

 I've been sewing a few things to make his arrival go a bit more smoothly. I hit a sale at the fabric store and got a bunch of polar fleece. I made a dog bed using a basket I purchased for $6.00.

I also made a couple of crate pads and a flat, rectangular bed. Hey, it's not rocket science.

Bon Bon will also need clothing. The Farmer's Almanac (and the caterpillars) are predicting a rough winter. By mid December, I am expecting it to be cold. I found a You Tube video on turning a sock into a dog sweater. Bon Bon will be coming home in a sock. Not an ordinary sock, one of the thick and woolly ones used for hunters. I don't really want to spend lots of money on XXS dog clothing for a puppy and have him out grow the clothing in a matter of weeks.

 I've been playing with patterns that I found ideas for on Pinterest. My challenge has been to create clothing for a tiny puppy that I have no idea what size it will be, other than 'really, really small.'  So far, I've made one sock-sweater, one sweatshirt sleeve sweater, and two out of polar fleece. I also made a few bows for his top knot that are masculine. The directions are on You Tube, but I used several different videos to determine what to do.

Hubster thinks the black one is for the opera and the black and blue one is for a wedding. I don't care, I just don't want Bon Bon to have pink and floofy bows.
