I have two chihuahuas. My nephew came and moved us to Ogden in November. I can't afford to buy them so I came on line to see if I could find a simple pattern for socks and boots for them. I have memory problems because of a wreck. Would you help me so they don't suffer next winter. I can be reached at Google: Aunt Jennifer 68 @gmail or Seymour_Jennifer at Yahoo.com. Thank you in advance if you can send me a pattern. I am disabled. I have two chihuahuas. My nephew came and moved us to Ogden in November.

My wee dog has arthritis and often over licks her front paw till its red raw. Just made a neoprene booty from your pattern so she can't lick plus gets some padding from the neoprene. Absolutely stoked :) Hi, thanks so much for your pattern – its wicked. My wee dog has arthritis and often over licks her front paw till its red raw.

It gives me great pleasure to think of all the dogs that this simple little boot pattern has helped over the years. Thank you so much for your kind comment.

I have a small older dog that has spinal arthritis, so her back legs keep slipping out from under her on my wood floors. I wanted a small bootie with a non-slip sole and Google sent me to you. I bought some grippy shelf liner at the 99 cent store and used that as the little pad. It worked great! Thanks for writing this in '07 and keeping it alive for me to find it now!

I bought some Muttlucks at our local Pet Expo for a great price of $10 but they are really hard to get on. I also have an old pair of leather gloves that I will take apart and use the leather for the soles. Thanks for sharing with us! Just found your pattern and I can’t wait to try these.

I haven't tried it myself, but it seems like a reasonable solution to try, and it's definitely available in the UK because it's listed on the Amazon UK website: <a href="http://amzn.to/zZgdYW" rel="nofollow">http://amzn.to/zZgdYW</a> - just a suggestion to think about. Let us know how you and your old girl-dog get on? Hi Maralyn, maybe a product like Fiber-Lok Rug Backing would be helpful, if you can’t find a suitable fabric.

We live in Great Britain I just hope I can buy a suitable anti slip fabric, love some of the other idears, double wrapped, and waterproof. The price of some of these bootees are horrendous.

I had been designing my own boots, but they just didn't work too well! My doggy is a G. Dane mix, so she's pretty large, so I just enlarged what you designed, with one difference; I lined the toenail area with Naugahyde so her nails wouldn't tear through very quickly. Thanks again!

I have a condition and it hurts me a lot. not wanting to hurt her, I had thought of foot coverings for her front feet. I plan to make a few pairs for her, hopefully by the time my pup is trained not to scratch me she will like her fashion statement. thank you for this pattern.

My Cairn has no issues with snow and cold here in Ottawa. However, the Condo Corp decided to use Salt this year instead of Grit on our stairs and walkways. He is in pain within a minute of venturing outdoors. I've bought 2 sets of booties for him and although he allows me to put them on, invariably 1 falls off each time we go for a walk... no matter how carefully I secure them. I've tried size small and X-small without much success. I will be making these booties... 2 or 3 pairs as soon as I get the supplies together. Be nice to dust off the sewing machine. Thanks again.

Our winters aren't very cold here in Oregon, but try telling that to my Chihuahua...she HATES stepping on the cold, frosty grass to go potty. These boots are a lifesaver!
