I second the baby clothes idea! I used baby shirts for Visuddha when he had surgery to remove a benign lump a year ago. That was on his shoulder so the t-shirt was perfect! A onesie worked as well, though I just made it into a tee by cutting off the bottom. The 12 month tee fit my 11 pound boy great.
I ordered beautiful sweaters from the shop on Etsy, I can check the label and get back to you. They hand knit made to measure beautiful sweaters in various yarns, Zoe had a very light weight knit for
spring.
Zoe loved wearing them and I loved seeing her in them and you just measure Molly and send them off and oh, my, the sweaters are perfect. They also make them for male or female dogs so the female dog sweaters covers their tummy well.
Baby time is the best time. I remember being so excited, imagining hearing the little footsteps and voice calling nana. AND the shopping, that is even better!
Addy,
Please do post the information for the Etsy sweaters. I might just have to get one for my boy. He hasn't worn sweaters or coats until this year, but I think he would like them. He hates to be cold.

Aw Sharlene, I know the feeling. Great ideas from the members here. I went the weekend and found some things for Dennis at a dog boutique. It is getting quite warm here, so I could not get him any sweaters. Found some long t-shirts with wild prints and a cape. Even picked up a one piece t with bluejeans. He does not like that it has back legs. I only dress him when we visit or go to the city park. Human nature, but people always want to know why he does not have hair. Or is he the hairless type of dog. Does Molly like dresses or little t - shirts ? They make really cute things for girls. Rhonda
On Etsy the shop is fifime and then Chantel also has her regular website which is Royal Fifi. I purchased from both websites and adore Chantel:)
Our Glynda originally told me about the Etsy shop. I have the most beautiful sweaters even for Koko. He has a golf sweater that everyone just can't believe the work on it. I'll have to take a picture of him in it. Then we have thick warm alpaca sweaters for winter.
Have fun shopping:)
I will definitely check out the shops on Etsy. OMG, I just looked at the Chantels Etsy shop and her web page. Love them.
Molly doesn't Like to wear coats and sweaters at all. She is better about her coats now in winter though, as she shivers is she doesn't have one on. It comes from losing so much of that under coat she had naturally for years. Now she does have the thick hair on her legs and while the rest of her hair is long, it is thin, so thinking that it might be a bit chilly for her when it is cool days and need something very light so she doesn't sunburn on hot days. The Tshirts might work well for that situation.
I'll know more about what she needs after we get her groomed and see how thin it is going to be with the long hair trimmed down. My poor little muffin.
And I think her skin has gotten very sensitive. Anyone else notice that in their dogs? She absolutely does not want the brush to touch her skin.
She still has the Zoe sweater she designed for and named after Zoe as a surprise. It is very light weight, soft yarn that Zoe loved to wear. It is under hand knit sweaters under classic with flowers I think. I get all tears whenever I see it on Royal Fifi.
Their skin gets very thin, maybe the brush hurts Molly.
I try to be gentle with the brushing and don't use any sort of wire bristles on her, but she still flinches. :(
We'll know how she looks after her grooming monday evening.
I'll take a peek for the Zoe sweater. :) :)
I posted a picture of molly after her hair cut today. It's pretty short, and she has very fair skin, so you almost can't tell how very thin it is, but if you zoom in you can see. sigh My poor baby.

However, she had a good time at the groomer, tried to bite her every time she clipped a nail. (so still spunky)
I love my groomer, I really do. She use to have a couple shih tzu, who got old and passed on, then she got her irish setter, whose muzzle is now showing some white of it's own. One of her clients was in a nursing home and had a little shih tzu (with heart problems and other health issues) and that client passed away and the kids didn't want her dog and so my groomer said, she will live with me for the rest of her days and she took her home with her. Now she has a little shitzu named...wait for it.... Zoe.
Zoe is having the time of life. All she has known is the nursing home really and an elderly lady who couldn't do much with her. Now she has a big dog that loves her, is enjoying belly rubs (seems she didn't get those before?), has walks and is also getting great medical care. She will be seeing the cardiologist in another week to check everything out. She is only 10 but with her health conditions probably a year or two more maybe, but I guarantee, however long it is, she will be loved and taken care of and her life with be exciting. :)
Molly hasn't made up her mind about Zoe yet, although the Irish setter big dog, is her buddy. :)
Love the story about little Zoe! :)
Glad to hear that our gal is still spunky! :D
