I don't have any old clothes, if they aren't falling off of me then they is good to wear. By the time I am done with them they need burning, if the underwear can't hold the sack then mix up some starch and use as a hat.

I've used the legs of old jeans to make dog coats, lined with something soft and fluffy like polar fleece. I have one that has a bit of velcro on the top of the back near the tail so that it can be folded up for a small puppy, then let out as the puppy grows.

I have poodles that get shaved down to look like terriers so they need coats for a while right after a haircut in cold weather.

For those who don't like poodles, neither did I, until I met my first poodle-incognito. Rarely does someone know what kind of dog I have. Foo-foo is just wrong! :lol:

Here is one of the toys I "made". "Kate", the dog took the good one (with the tennis ball knotted-up inside) outside to play with. So far they are holding up to a rough and tough St. Bernard. Thanks Sylvie!!

(Those towels are to dry off the 300 pounds of wet St. Bernards, it was raining that day.)
