My Do It Yourself Dog Gators! Patent Pending!

[Laurie, Fudge, and Vern]

We have had a lot of snow lately and Fudge and Vern want to be out as much as possible. I am the least crafty person you will ever meet and I think my homemade gators prove this once again. Last night, the dogs came in with snow everywhere and we spent a long time getting all the snow off of them. So, today after the plows came through, I went to Target in the hopes to find some stretchy PJ's to make into snowsuits for the dogs. I found this idea on DK from some truly crafty members. When I went to Target, the only PJ's they had were in a small size and Vern is no small. I decided to take some clearance knee highs and cut the toe off and try them out as gators. Here are the results:

 

Ok, It starts off well. Fudge looks thrilled, but she left them on to go outside. We have changed her name to Pippi :)

Vern is equally thrilled to be wearing Argyle socks:

Next, we go outside and they start to play....they wanted to give them the true test. Here are the gators after they came in from playing outside:

and here is what was inside when I took them off of Vern:

Back to the drawing board for this DK member!!

Thanks for all the nice comments. Every time I look at Fudge's skinny little legs I laugh too. We might try Walmart tomorrow for the PJ's.

LOL funny.  They look like they would work.  Something I would have definitely tried.  I just looked at Fudge for the third time and laughed again.  You may get a C- for design, but you would definitely get an A+ in a photo contest.

the gators are cute, but if they dont work........ better luck next time.

The gators might be history. I just caught Vern chewing one of them.

That's hilarious!  And exactly the way my good-intentioned bright ideas go.  Fudge in the first photo looks totally goofy and adorable.  Vern can really rock the argyle look.
