Outsmarting Joey the Chihuahua

Joey, the little 5-pound Chihuahua that I'm fostering, likes to lift his leg and mark everywhere in the house.  So we're working on correcting that behavior, but for times that I can't watch him, I needed an alternate solution.  Dog belly bands were invented for that very reason.  They are basically a strip of fabric that wraps around the dog's belly and you can put in an absorbent pad for easy cleanup.  The problem is Joey is sneaky, and he quickly figured out that if he rolls around enough he can slide right out of the belly band, no matter how tightly I put it on him.  So I turned to the Internet for help, and came up with this solution:

Joey

What's that, you ask?  I will tell you.  Joey is now the slightly-embarrassed owner of an Alfie Couture Designer dog diaper - with suspenders.  That's right - the little guy now has his own suspenders!  

A little privacy please...

Getting them on and off is a hassle every time I want to take him outside, but it's well worth it to be able to give him more freedom in the house!  And I think eventually he'll forgive me for this humiliation.  Especially since I was able to convince him that all the dogs are jealous - even the puppies!

"Dude, what is she making you wear?!"

Okay maybe he's not quite convinced yet.
