    I was highly motivated by the fact that they were out and I couldn't exchange for a larger size! If it's only a bit snug, you may not even need fabric, just stitch the velcro strips together so there is overlap then use with the velcro on the coat, it will give you a good half inch more room.

    Yeah I got a page error :( I need to find something good for Anubis…Im in Oklahoma and we get snow/ice and howling north winds and 20s-teens for temps here. And he of course has no hair lol. His jacket last winter worked great but he found where I hid it and he shredded it lol. So I gotta get on the ball and find something good for him and for our horrible winter conditions.

    well, for those of you who missed it last go round, the fetchdog.com people are having another sale! Some great looking coats, some even basenji-approved coats. We've been using these coats for several months:

    http://www.fetchdog.com/pet-supplies/discountdogsupplies/discountdogclothes/all-season-stretch-shell-dog-jacket/00181
    size 16 for the male and female basenjis in this house.

    we have HUGE drifts of snow right now and the WIND has been crazy. I have exposed yard in some places and over 2 foot drifts in others. Of course you have to go through the drifts to get to the bare spots, or you did before hubby and I shoveled basenji-paths.

    Um okay, I admit… I never got my butt down to a fabric or a craft store. Instead, I donated the coats that were too small to my local shelter. They were happy to put them to use. =)

    I am glad I am not the only one who has to make basenji paths in our yard. We haven't had as much snow as we had last winter, thank goodness, but we usually take the skidoo and make some paths for them when it is really deep.

    Our winters here in Australia are not like yours in New England - we don't get snow where I am, but do get hard frosts. Cold days are 14C, but situated where I am on the side of a hill, the wind off the snow area 75 kms further up the valley can get a bit lazy - prefers to go through you rather than round you!! And as we all know - Basenjis don't 'do' cold!! My Swedish boy is cuddled up in his bed in front of the heater beside me. Silly boy still gets his summer coat in our winter!!

    We use the muttluks for Mowgli and Miika and they do stay on, they are on the second pair already as they used them so much the old ones have holes in the bottoms - i think this is mainly from the salt on the roads. The pups love them and don't mind wearing them and are a must up here in northern Alberta.

    I got my package on Monday!!! :) I haven't had time to update but Dallas loved all of his gifts! He loved the loofa dog! He was carrying it all around the house with him Monday evening. He & our family dog have been playing tug of war with the rope that he received. Oh, and Tuesday he found the bag of milkbones on my dresser while I was at work…thankfully he didn't eat the plastic bag :rolleyes: The bones, obviously, are gone. Such a pig :rolleyes:

    I put my Buttons in a K9 Top Coat Arctic Fleece Jogging suit which covers her belly and all four legs. They are really warm and perfect for our early morning walks when it's very cold here in MO. Size 3 fits most Basenji's like a glove and it does not cramp their style. Only problem is that they are quite expensive but Her Majesty Buttons worries not about little things such as that as long as she is warm and toasty.

    My dog has a few coat and has boots that she wears in the snow. She has a fleece hoodie and a jean jacket. I now have an IG doggie how hates the cold so I looked on the greyhound sites and found a coat that is made for basenji's and IG's. I forget the site off hand but I will look it up for you and get back to you. It is fleece and has a snooze(neck/head warmer). Great coat and easy to put on.
