THANK YOU FOR YOUR ADVICE

Since we live in a drafty, old house,
we were concerned that Java
was getting too cold at night.


You might recall
that a few weeks ago,
we were searching
for a viable option

for getting a sweater
for our sweet
Java.


You all jumped it
and gave us some
great advice.

But the folks over at

Three Dogs Animal Sanctuary
suggested that we check out
Dover Saddlery,
a maker of horse blankets.

And we did
and they had the perfect blanket/coat
for our big man.
He measures 36 inches
from the base of his neck
to the base of his tail
so nothing we found in
regular stores fit him.

Now that Mom has seen this,
she knows that she could have easily made one,
but he is content to wear it
and we are happy to help him feel warmer.

XOXO
Lilly, Piper, Carrleigh and Java

When you get to a certain age there's nothing that's quite as important as a comfy cardigan.

That sure looks warm for sweet Java!!

When Sherman was getting older my mom got him a heated bed for nights. My parents house was built in 1900s and even though they've replaced windowns and things, it's still can get really cold in chicago in the winter in a old house!

That's a wonderful story. And that sweater looks like it was made for him. Grandma is coming up Christmas day and bringing her sewing machine to make us some fleece jackets. Can't wait to show 'em off to everyone!
