    [sm=rotfl.gif]I LOVE snoods!  I ordered mine (well not MINE...for JJ and Pru of course!) this week but they aren't fancy like these.  They are just a single color that should match their rain blankets.
    Ed- where did you get these? Did you find them local or order online??

    They are too cute in them!![:D]

    Too funny!!  Really cute puppers! [:D]
     
    Forgive my ignorance, do you only put them on them for their ears?  They don't need coats, as well???  How does that work out?  Do they leave them on?

    Actually one of my breeder friends made them for my kids.  I'll try and get a shot of the winter coat she made too...It looks like a regal sighthound bathrobe.  (and that'll really have you rolling.)[:)]

    On days when it's not too cold, they'll wear these on their necks.  Pharaohs are pretty particular about their ears- they are very mobile and used in communication as well as the ears being little radar dishes.  They get a coat when it's really cold. 

    The scarves just keep the neck warm, much like a scarf that you or I wear.  Keep all that warm and if the dogs are moving around they usually don't mind the cold too much.

    Oh my gosh...YES I HAVE to see that![sm=biggrin.gif]

    It is so tough to find sighthound clothes...and 90% of the stuff in stores doen't fit them. I always hate ordeing online becasue I never know for sure if it is going to fit them. You are lucky you have soemone local that can make them specific to you dogs!

    If you share "bathrobe" coat piccies...I promise to share 4 legged fleece crocodile and giraffe jammie piccies when they arrive![;)]

    Those are adorable.  I wish Willow would wear clothes.  I tried boots last year and she just stood there with all four feet together in the middle.  [8|]

    I'm pretttty sure I have gloves that match Xerxes' snoodie - I suppose he has no need of them though....
     
    Very sweet - I'm glad their sensitive ears are well protected.

    Do they really leave them on?  I should make some for my boyz.  Their ears get so cold.

    Those are so cool! I think Millie needs one of those. Where do I get her one?

    I notice sometimes Baileys ears are freezing and its not even that cold here yet.  Do big eared dogs NEED these?
     
    Do you think Bailey should have hers covered in really cold temps... its only gets to 30 here and only a few times anyway... but in 40-50 degrees..?
    She uses her ears sooo much we get such a kick out of it.  She turns one to the side like a horse does, its so funny they will just rotate around and forward, usually its only one doing that and the other forward.
