Re: [Chihuahuas] coat pattern and car seat

Barbara,
   
  Rein has the first car seat shown below (hope the pictures come out) and, 
along with the other two shown, can be found on PetsMart's website.  Rein likes 
it because she can see out the window or lay down and take a nap in it.  You 
have to use a harness because that's what the seat connects to so the baby 
doesn't jump out.

          Hello,

Iam a new Chi mom. My new baby is named Roul, he is 4.5 lbs, 10 
months old, and a little pistol. 

We live in the high desert of the American southwest. In the winter 
it can get quite cold in the morning - yesterday it was 18F,with a 
64 F afternoon. Roul has a little sweater that the breeder gave me, 
but he is growing out of it, and he hates the whole over the head 
thing. My sister is sending him a lovely faux swade coat with a faux 
lamb lining, but I would like to make him some coats of different 
weights to wear at the wide range of temps we have around here. Do 
any of you know where I can purchase a pattern?

Also he loves to ride, but I don't think riding in my lap is a good 
idea (if that air bag ever inflated it would not be pretty. I want 
to get him a car seat where he can be restrained (safe) and still 
see out the window. Can anyone recomend one? 

Thanks so much
Barbara L, and Roul
