And That is it! 

Just slip it on.

and if you use Red heart Super Saver --

it is machine washable!

No buttons, Velcro, buckles or snaps 

to get caught in fur or 

become chewing hazards.

Rosie Bell likes her Bandanna, also.

her bandanna is

 one row longer then Maximo's

I have no idea why she 

stuck her tongue out, 

But I think it is adorable!
