I can't afford to buy an expensive pattern at the moment and I really don't know how to sew much besides quilts. Any ideas would be very welcome. I can't hold her all of the time and that is what she wants right now when she thinks she is cold. Thanks!
I also give my oldies wheat bags [at a lower heat] these are v comforting to them.

I wondered if it was so she could feel my heartbeat, but I don't know. She is the first dog that I have had that has to sleep under the covers right next to me. I worried at first that I would lay on her, but she moves quickly enough that I dont hurt her.
Thanks again, I really appreciate the help.

Great question and answers. The other night as I put my HEAVY irish knit sweater on to take out our 6 month old labradoodle I thought even though Jilly had longish curly hair she must be cold. I wanted to make her somthing to keep her warm. Thanks for posting all the links.
