Knit him a sweater.....
You may not be able to tell from this angle but this is one sad, embarrassed doggy. He wouldn't stay still long enough for a better picture of his sweater. Oscar is getting up there in age and I thought a nice wool sweater would help him stay warm this winter. When I first tried it on him, he laid on his side and refused to get up. He finally got up and jumped on Jon's chest (where he is in the picture). I think he's trying to tell Jon that I've finally lost it.

The sweater is a bit small. I used this pattern. It was a super simple pattern but I should have made it wider on the sides and knit the neck ribbing on larger needles. The pattern was written for a 10 lb. chihuahua so I thought I'd be fine since Oscar is 5 1/2 lbs. Maybe I knit too tight? Oh well, I don't think he would have liked it any better if it had fit properly. I'm sure he's on the phone right now reporting me to PETA.
I used Paton's wool in Autumn sunset (I think that's what it was called).Anyone know a tiny Chihuahua that likes wearing sweaters?

Awww, poor Oscar. Doesn't he know YOUR cold?
Great color though.
LOL, I know, Linda. If I'm cold, surely an animal covered with fur is cold!
Cute!! His face is so funny. Great job on the sweater! Can you make one for Scooter? ;-)
That just cracked me up. I think he is begging Jon to please do something about this indignity!
He may not have been appreciative, but the sweater turned out cute.
Sure, Katie, I'll make Scooter a sweater... I just need... let's see... A LOT of yarn! LOL Actually, it's a super simple pattern that is knit flat so I think you could handle it. I could help you adjust the pattern to fit him :)
