Generate Your Own Custom Dog Sweater! 

From TheDietDiary.com

This page will chart a custom dog sweater for you to knit by hand or on your machine. The shape of the dog sweater is designed based on dog sweaters pictured in Foster & Smith's catalog. In that catalog, the basic tube shaped sweater is shown two different designs. One design has a fairisle body in a traditional snow flake pattern and ribbed collar, trim and legs. The other design has a shaker rib body; 1 x 1 rib is used for the collar, legs and welt trims around the edges.

To use this page, you must measure your dog and knit a swatch. Then enter your dog's measurements and some gauge information in the boxes you'll see. You may also chose to work in inches or centimeters. Fill out all measurements and hit "send"! Your chilly pooch will thank you.

OK, so people find out that Texas Mesothelioma Lawyers pays big bucks on Adsense and post to your blog with links to sites about asbestos cancer. Is this a good thing or a bad thing? I guess its only good if their content is of value!
