Meet Slinky, he is 9 years old, he jumped off a bed almost 4 years ago and has been paralyzed in his back end since. He has no idea he can't use his back legs, and is just as much as a handful as he was with his back legs. DO NOT feel sorry for Slinky, he as ramps all over the house, inside and out, he plays fetch until you are tired and loves to play tug of war.
When he first got paralyzed we had no idea how to deal with it, so I did lots of research and found that there was very little out there for him. So after many trials and LOTS of errors I have come up with a FREE way to make our little guy happy and safe.
Anyone who can sew a straight line and has some extra clothes that they can separate with, or ask friends for clothes we had so many offers I finally had to turn away clothes meant for Slinky bags.
If you are anything like us you do not have lots of extra money for your little guy/ gal to buy bags for them. So finally here it is free for the world to make and keep their little friends.happy I call them Slinky Bags :-) He wears Huggies size 4 diapers, We found they held his wiener up and stayed on the best, for an ACTIVE dog
One more thing, you can use the same pattern to make Slinky PJ bags, just omit steps 6 and 7. Or just use the sleeves from sweat shirts for the tube part, if you are only making PJ' s it is the easiest way to go.
If you have any questions, or comments PLEASE share. If you make your own Slinky Bags share your pictures so others can be inspired to make their own.
To wash the bags I just throw them in the washer, with a little bleach, and detergent. I have washed, suede, leather, denim, etc and they might wrinkle, but so what they work for your friend and the bleach helps sterilize the bags.
Slinky was a real trooped. He would have been 14 in January 2018, and was paralyzed for 7 years, but sadly Slinky passed away 9/12/17, When we found out he was paralyzed we did not think he would survive 1-2 years, boy were we wrong. We changed his Huggies size 4 everyday, and he had more outfits then I did at times.
The little guy will be missed by all he touched, a real inspiration !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
