  3. Small and tiny clothing your dog for cool dogs and cats look great on them. Especially the toy cats and dogs such as Chihuahuas, Yorkshire Terriers and Tea Cup Poodles can be dressed with great care on special occasions. We should make our pets more pleasant in look and pay more attention to their needs.

  4. I am having problems understanding the row 6 instructions. With row 5 (single row), I have 3 v-stitches and 2 dc. You want me to skip the first v-stitch and rejoin between the 1st and 2nd v-stitch then chain 3, do a v-stitch in next chain 2 space and repeat 9 more times. How am I supposed to repeat 9 more times when I only have 3 v-stitches to begin with. Please clarify your instructions for me. Thank you.

    1. for the 6th row you are not working it into the 3 vsts you just made. You ignore those 3 stitches and go back down to row 5 to join. so this ends up creating your leg holes and you will start making the chest piece. Hope this brings clarification...... sorry it took me so long to see this. If you would like to get a hold of me with faster response time please find my business page on facebook Manda Lynn's Crochet Treasures and message me there or email me at mandalynnmarie@gmail.com

    1. With the 6th step you will be making the arm holes and chest piece by going back down to row 5 and working row 6's stitches there.

  9. The pictures of the puppies for sale are important. You can see important observations on how they are raised. It is normal to see some fecal matter but that is alright as long as it is tolerable. Teddy bear puppies for sale
