| Anyone else with dog shopping obsessions? I'm not *totally* obsessed, of course (I keep telling myself that... ) but the other day I was organizing all my of stuff, then it came to organizing Jackson's things. I have a plastic drawer thing I keep in the closest with 3 drawers for his stuff... anyways I came to realize how ridiculous it was all the stuff he has! ONE dog... and he's got like 4-5 harnesses, probably 8-10 collars, a bunch of shampoo's and shampoo samples, a bunch of food samples (he either didn't like, or we didn't use, yet I still keep them in a baggy...) a few different plastic food bowls (I find these for cheap like $1, and can't pass them up) and just ... a variety of things. He doesn't have too many clothes, I'm good in that area... lol. Just a few jackets for winter and maybe 5 tshirts that he never wears but I buy anyways lol. But every time I see something cheap in the store or whatever, I just can't pass it up! Oh, let's not forget the whole basket of toys he has that he rarely plays with... totally insane! But of course he's worth it. The way I look at it, if I ever get a 2nd dog, I will be pretty much set in supplies! I just wanted to be sure I'm not the only crazy one or maybe I am?

| LOL...believe me you are NOT alone nor crazy. I only have Zhoie and my house looks like I must have at least 5, haha. She has 5 harness with matching leads, several winter coats, dresses, nighties, lots of t-shirts (her favorite by the way) but here's the kicker...she has 5 different rain coats-(slickers, reversible, wind breaker)....like what am I thinking....how darn much did I think we was going to be in the rain anyway...duh! In my living room there is a hugh, and I do mean hugh wicker basket that is full of toys. I'm not alone in this though, even when dh goes out, he brings her a toy just because she runs so excited like it is expected, bag rattles...it's a toy...YAY. Ok....yeah..I am a little crazy.....lol.

Phantom Queen Morrigan Donating Member | Morgan has all the stuff Jackson has and then some! She has tons of clothes that I think are adorable, buy them, put it on to take pictures, an then put them in the closet probably never to be worn again. My big obsession seems to be beds and bowls though. I have one dog and live in a studio like apartment but yet i have 5 beds and tons of doggie blankets, plus at least 7 bowls and a water bottle . then there is all the grooming products i buy for a dog i keep shaved most of the year with no top knot. *stands up and raises right hand* Hi my name is Kellie and I'm a dog accessory shopaholic!

| Ha....We are finally speaking out. My name is Dawn and I'm a Puppy-shop-a-holic. Not only do I buy everything under the shining sun that she NEEDS but I find myself constantly looking in the rescue sections, on local advertising sites etc to see if there are any dogs that need my help... even though DH would KILL me if I got another dog

| I have two big bags of toys in the garage that I intend to give to the shelter or a rescue and a big basket of toys in my living room. I have a ridiculous amount of them. Also, all the IGs sleep under blankets, all the IGs, it is a breed thing, so I habitually buy fleece throws when they are on sale. I even have new throws on hand and when I've placed my fosters, I sent a new throw home with them as part of their adoption package, along with one of the many, many coats I have around here. Lizzie is getting her own little collection of stuff. I've got three harnesses and I don't know how many collars for her. I have to admit, when I joined this board and saw the sticky "Yorkie Coats, Colors and Puppy Growth Charts," my first thought was "shopping opportunity." Sheesh!

| I find myself making wishlists for things I would buy for Kaji, and things I would buy if I had a girl dog. Back when I had a job, every time I splurged for myself, it ended up being things Kaji could use. Maybe you could to what I did and decide you're shopping for a cause. Every few weeks, go through all the stuff that you have for Jackson, decide what you really like and what you can live without. Take what is leftover and donate it to a shelter. I have lots of toys that I either bought, or was given, that Kaji doesn't even look at. They're all going to the shelter next week.

| I am definitely a shop-a-holic when it comes to stuff for Roxie. She is one little dog...with tons of stuff! She has an ex-pen inside, an ex-pen outside, a soft sided crate, and a cage. She has bins of toys. She has 2 harnesses, 3 leashes, a whole bunch of shirts and sweaters, blankets galore, and the list could go on and on. A few weeks ago I ordered a carry bag for her that I haven't even used yet (but it's so darn cute!) I knew having a dog would be expensive, but I never dreamed I would get so sucked in to buying stuff for her!
