Where do you keep your yorkies toys, clothes, etc - YorkieTalk.com Forums

AngeliFlad · 02-02-2006, 02:51 PM

I would like to get my boys' stuff more organized and I was wondering how you guys do it, do you have a place just for your doggie stuff? Like how there is baby/children storage, just for dogs? Just wondering...

She has a part of my dresser that holds all her things

Its the lower drawer, so she can see what I pull out for her.

Oh and toys are in a basket on the floor!

I have plastic storage containers with drawers that I keep mine in.

My husbands and mine closet has shelf organizers and stuff. I use certain shelves dedicated to the fur kids. It seems to work out well.

Now the toys...Those are in baskets in most rooms of the house or on the floor scattered everywhere.

I have Sugars toys in a winnie the pooh tote. and her sweaters are on her beds she likes to sleep on them

scrapindee · 02-02-2006, 03:32 PM

Toys are everywhere.

Clothes are on a peg bar by the garage or in a 4 drawer cardboard chest in the bathroom. I want to find a "closet" for their clothes, shoes, etc. Anyone have any ideas?

For Biscuit's clothes & grooming supplies I have those fabric cubes that you get to sit on shelves, mine are from ikea, but they have them at target.For his toys, he has a bone shaped toybox in the living room.He has a few toys out all the time, but then he also gets toybox time where I just open it up and he goes crazy pulling out toys and leaving them all over!It is sooo cute to watch and worht the clean up time. If only i could train him to do that.......

I put the toys in a basket in the family room on the floor where she will go in it and take everything out and spread it all over the floor....too cute and she also likes to eat the wicker basket.

Her clothes are in my drawers.

Here he is with his toybox

Chloe's 'den' is a baby play pen. It came with the little changing table that attaches on part of the top. I keep all of her clothes nicely folded in there. There is also a little diaper organizer that hangs off the side...I keep some stuff in there. Her toys are scattered all over the inside of her pen.

I have a pretty big walk-in closet in my hallway. I have a huge rubbermaid bin of toys I have hidden (I rotate out their toys every once in awhile), their clothes are hanging in there on baby hangers, and I have a basket in the bathroom with all of their grooming supplies, a basket by the front door with their harnesses and leashes and their toys, well they are in the bedroom, the living room, the kitchen.......they are everywhere! Gosh, I'm lucky I have any room in the apartment

Jenn218 · 02-02-2006, 03:58 PM

I have a small trunk (got at Hobby Lobby) in the living room full of toys and another in my bedroom full of toys. - Or you can find some here and there in the house. I have a large pull out drawer in the kitchen (on the bottom of the cabinet) that is sectioned off - you will find a lidded container and measuring cup of food, extra treats, grooming, meds, etc. I also have two treat containers on the counter top. My closet has a shelving system and I use lined wicker baskets in there as storage. There is one basket for Mojos clothing, belly bands, etc. On the rod behind the door, there is a bag of extra toys (some old, some new because we rotate them). All of our carrier bags on on a shelf in the closet.

I have a crate with all his stuff in a lower cupboard. Louie jumps up and down if he sees me open the cupboard cause it's usually goodies for him... food, snack, toy, leash for a walk...

Tiger's Mom · 02-02-2006, 04:07 PM

All of Tiger's toys are in the laundry room. That is his domain. There are 2 shelves full of his stuff. The laundry washer and dryer countertop hold all his flannel blankets, towels and hand towels. In fact, my laundry room is no longer my laundry room, although it holds my laundry stuff as well. It is now Tiger's main area as he hangs out in that room when we are not home . . . . .

annaschaben · 02-02-2006, 04:09 PM

Right now our clothes are in a cupboard and toys are in a pile by the couch. However, a friend of mine is following my Yorkie obsession and is starting to make really cool beds for Yorkies or other small dogs. She has made one and is now working on mine. It is a four poster bed with an underdrawer for all your puppy stuff (stained to match my bedroom furnature). Of coarse none of mine will propably sleep in it. My bed has way more room and comes with a warmer (me). After I get mine I'll post a pic cause I think they will make custom beds to fit any ones needs. We'll probably try to sell them in the product Forum eventually.
