Me and the mini Pitbull



Okay, she is a mutt and I only have her because she went under the bumper of my Jeep. She was twenty lbs. when I got her, and no x-ray was needed to see her bones. She was malnourished, flea ridden, but otherwise unharmed.

The jacket is askew from posture so the fit doesn't look right. I picked it up for $4.00 at Goodwill. I then tried my hand at sewing. No matter how hard you try, a hammer does NOT make it easier to push a thread through a needle. So a family friend corrected my mistakes using "The F-H.C.A.G." instructions. Thanks for your valuable post.

The kilt is a $30.00 SWK Irish National. For a comfortable work around the house kilt, it is well worth the price. The flashes are Leatherneck, and the socks are the best choice from a limited collection. For those interested, the tie is the second most expensive item from the Jerry Berry collection, it was a gift, so I am not certain of the cost, but it goes well with the kilt and season.

P.S. I have worn it to church, so any critiques will have to be honored the next time I am in public.

Jacket looks good, although I would try going with it unbuttoned. A nice look at a low cost,...you can't do better than that.

Kudos for saving the pup, and bringing her into your family.

Adorable!

And the guy in the kilt isn't so bad either!
