Romeo and his snowball sweater

This is Romeo (I know he looks a little wary in the photo-- he does not like the camera one bit!).

Romeo was found along a rural Nebraska two lane highway. He was terribly thin, so weak he could barely move, and his claws were so long they were curved under his paws. After a few months of loving care from his new family he is fit and fiesty!
 
Romeo is a long-haired chihuahua and shares his new home with sister Casey, a spaniel/bichon mix. He likes golf cart rides and is learning how to walk on a leash and how to 'give kisses' like his big sis. Romeo is not built for Nebraska winters (I know... who is?!), and it was hard for his new family to find store-bought sweaters to fit this tiny guy who weighs less than 4 pounds.

A red and white color scheme seemed perfect since the holidays were coming up and Romeo is a Nebraska football fan.  Last fall I had come across this stitch pattern and decided that I would give it a go for Romeo's sweater. After working a few repeats I thought it looked like snowballs. It worked up quickly into a warm sweater for my new little friend.

It does my heart good to see this happy little dog loving his new life.

On my For Pets page you will find more info about this pattern. I'll donate proceeds raised from pattern sales to help animals not as fortunate as Romeo. You can also check out the wonderful work being done by the Nebraska Humane Society and Hearts United for Animals by clicking on the links I have provided on the side-bar.
