If the shoe fits . . .
Comments(4) well I ordered Kess a ruffwear bootie for her back paw. Apparently she has dainty little back feet so the xxs had the right sized sole/boot but it wasn’t long enough on her foot. The strap came across the back of her largest pad so you couldn’t put it on properly and it kept falling off.
Today I figured it already didn’t work so there wouldn’t be much harm in trying to modify it so that it would. I took the top half of the bootie apart, added a couple of inches to the length and moved the strap. Luckily Kess has no comment on my sewing skills and the end result is a bootie that will stay on!
Kess already took a spin around the house and although she wasn’t to keen on having the bootie on, the advantages were obvious when she got to the laminate flooring and kept right on hopping.
I just added the black bit in the middle and moved the strap back about 2" and re-attached the elastic ribbing
We’re glad you were able to make the Ruff Wear Skyliner Dog Boots work for Kess. That’s pretty crafty of you! 🙂
I did want to add that ruff wear was awesome about everything, and had me send in various measurements from Kess’ foot and leg to see if they could come up with anything.
you are too darn clever!! necessity is the mother of invention (or was that frank zappa)…nice job on the boot!

@etgayle off topic but I had to laugh. My mom a true child of the 60’s used to play Zappa all of the time. I remember really, really wanting to tke a Frank Zappa album to school when I was 6 for music sharing day. I just couldn’t understand why my mom said no . . .
at any rate it worked out really great and I’d be happy to help out anyone in the future who needs a similar alteration. Kess loves it, and already rolls on to her back as soon as I tell her to lay down so I can put her bootie on.
