What we have been doing is when we aren't home, he is quarantined in the spare room. When we get home we let him out to be with us and the rest of the furry crew. So that would be when he would need to wear them. I am just happy to see that there is something I can use...I love my little guy! And as soon as I get the pictures off of my camera tonight I have an awesome picture of he and Zingo....
