Default Flight Suits

I finally ordered my flight suits! I bought the Red, White, and Blue special, I'll get a Uncle Sammy flight suit, a blue flight suit (it's suppose to come with red but I asked for a blue instead), a leash, and liners (I can just use those period liners for women, not men lol, once I run out of those liners can't I?). It was only $30.99 plus 10 bucks for shipping (I could have paid a couple bucks less for shipping but I'm too inpatient so they should be here in 2 business days). I hope I'll be able to get it on her, I really do think I will Wish me luck, I can't wait!

Glad to see you got the flight suit. Hope it works the way you want it to. If not, perhaps I can help you with the harness. I was able to get Ollie and a couple of the others to agree to wear one.

I've tried the feather teather (I'm gonna get the aviator next) but Jack won't have anything to do with it, unless I would like to have less fingers But I have been working with putting towels, blankets, cloth on her and she is getting really used to it, so I am hoping she will except the flight suit a little better.

Good luck with the flight suit! I can't get Ollie's within 3 feet of her when she knows I'm intending to put it on her. She will allow me to put the aviator on her though. I wish I would've started much younger with her!

You may have a difficult time with the flight suit at first. Best bet is to let Jack see it for a bit. Let her "taste" it and get used to looking at it. If you place it "under" her when you are trying to put it on, you may have a better chance. You then "sneak" putting the elastic over one wing and then the other. Just remember that the lanyard is only velcroed on and is not as safe insofar as her flying as the aviator harness. It can become unattached.

Good luck! Take pictures!

Okay thanx! They came today (I thought they would be here monday but I'm definately not complaining! yay! lol). I will try to get her used to the flight suit before putting it on first, hopefully everything will go smoothely.
I wont let her outside with just the velcroe lanyard, once she gets really used to it being on, I will work on actually being able to attach the lanyard (it will be able to come off but not easy like velcroe).

Shane- I am confused. Doesn't the lanyard attach via velcro?

Have you tried putting it on Jack yet?
