How much do you spend on Clothing? - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Yorkie_GirL · 04-12-2005, 11:49 AM

I was just wondering if i'm the only one who spoils my dogs rotten..

People think i'm nuts for spending so much money on my dogs, but hey it makes me happy and them

How much (if you don't mind) do you guys spend on clothing? and how often do you go clothes shopping for yorkies?

PinkMartini · 04-12-2005, 12:39 PM

Well, since my fiance pays for everything (I'm in school full time and work part time, but my money goes towards my car payment), not nearly as much as I'd like to. My fiance doesn't believe it's a necessity (which it isn't, but there's so many cute things out there I'd like to get him)... I've spent $50 total on his clothes thus far, but if I could, I'd spend tons more...

I've spent about $100. I bought sweaters off of ebay and alot of them have fallen apart so I am gonna have to buy more. I bought those sweaters that are really for bears. I am gonna order all my new clothes from only places that sell clothes specifically for dogs.

MissNicole · 04-12-2005, 01:27 PM

I've spent about $51 on 5 shirts 2 leashes and 2 harnesses on two dogs

taje · 04-12-2005, 01:50 PM

Don't tell dad...

You do NOT want to know! LOL Its sickening! :P

Whitech6 · 04-12-2005, 02:10 PM

I've spent within the last month $150.00

on dog clothes. OMG I didn't realize that; you know it’s bad when you start to hide clothes for your dog in the trunk of your car so your fiancé won't find them.

nemom · 04-12-2005, 02:11 PM

You wouldn't want to know what I have spent on Bella and we've only had her 1 1/2 wks. She has about 14 shirts/dresses, a coach collar, coach leash, Juicy bag(on it's way), 2 playpens, 2 fluffy beds, a noz to noz den and toys toys toys and more toys.

nemom · 04-12-2005, 02:33 PM

oh and today I found a jacket with "BELLA" on the back from Downtown Doggie. I could not resist

aimee · 04-12-2005, 06:03 PM

On just clothes? I think I've spent about $100 since we got Tia in February. I plan to buy more, but when we have a better idea of her full grown size.

Junebug · 04-12-2005, 06:12 PM

Jeeeezuz. Since your babies are fairly new, and I've had Otis for six years this July, I think I probably out spent all of you!!

This is nothing to be proud about.

When we went to Paris, I bought him a new bed, a carrier, a sweater and four jackets.

In NYC, I bought him a $60 harness (which chokes him and I can't use anyways), a cowboy outfit, three sweaters.

He has about five carriers (AND I JUST BOUGHT ANOTHER ONE TODAY!!) Not to mention his special dishes, leashes, scarfs, yarn to knit him stuff, silly hats like in my avatar, a fishing hat, a new sweater everytime Kwigy-Bo puts out a new style, santa boots....the list goes on and on.

I've spent well over a thousand so far. Ask me why I don't own a house yet.

Oh yeah, I also bought him a life jacket in case it floods. yeah right.

Chelliegirl · 04-12-2005, 09:30 PM

Wow

I'm kinda embarassed..I dont even have my yorkies yet and I have spent well..lets see I bought a louis vuitton carrier ,juicy couture carrier ,clothes ,more clothes,boots and shoes , burberry t-shirts and bows. little jackets with louis vuitton logo on them..and alot more things dont count because they were FREE..

Bitsy · 04-13-2005, 10:54 AM

I am really glad to know that I am not the only one who is spoiling my dog. I've easily spent over $500, and I've only had her since mid February. Yikes!

I keep saying I will cut back, but then I see a cute shirt, or toy, or leash, etc. The next big thing I am wanting to get her is a bed. I've seen so many cute ones out there. That will be fun!!
