| Cathy (T. Bumpkins & Co.) is the best! I recently posted a thread in the 'Yorkie Products Wanted' section. I wanted to find someone to make me a cupcake dress for my secret buddy in the GE. I had a very specific style of dress in my mind; I wanted the top of the dress to be white, with a cupcake embroidery and I wanted a ruffle skirt out of a coordinating cupcake print fabric. Cathy (107barney) responded the same day and told me that she would be willing to make something for me. Throughout the process, Cathy and I talked for hours through PMs (sometimes in the middle of the night!), trying to find something that would work for the dress. We searched dozens of websites for embroidery designs, and she went to the fabric store for me countless times on her lunch break from work just to find the perfect fabric. When she was having no luck finding a cupcake fabric, I told her that she could try to find some coffee cup print fabrics instead, because my buddy's name is Moka. Well, eventually she found both a cupcake fabric and some coffee print fabrics. After talking about it, she decided to make one coffee dress to send to Moka as a teaser, and she would make the cupcake dress as well so I could put that in my GE box. She took the time out to read Moka's sign up sheet and saw that Moka likes to wear hats, so she also agreed to make matching hats for each dress. I was so excited because I knew the dresses would turn out great for my GE buddy. Cathy was also in the GE, so she shared my excitement. The dresses turned out to be so beautiful. They were even better than I could have ever dreamed of. And most importantly, they fit Moka perfectly. Thank you Shelly and Moka for letting me share these beautiful photos with everyone! I just want YT to see how gorgeous Cathy's creations really are! Here are pictures of the two dress and hat sets: 1. Coffee Dress sent as teaser img_4116-1.jpg 2. Cupcake Dress img_4102_0001-1.jpg img_4104-1.jpg img_4106-1.jpg On one occasion, I pmed her to ask her opinion about a bed I was considering purchasing for my SB. Since I had my doubts about it, she offered to make me a perfect lounge pillow bed instead, out of a soft minky fleece fabric with brown ruffles around it. After we agreed on the bed, I just kept adding and adding more items to my purchase from her. I looked at some of her other creations that she made for YT members, and I decided I wanted her to also make some silk pajamas, a washable pee pad to match the cupcake dress, a hoodie, and a bath robe/towel set. Even on a time crunch, she made every single item that I wanted with enough time to send it all out to my buddy, and everything was absolutely gorgeous. When I received the items, I could tell that the quality was incredible. It was very clear to me that Cathy put so much hard work and effort into making the clothing. She was concerned not only with making the clothing look beautiful, but also making me, as the customer, satisfied. She went completely above and beyond for me, and I could not have asked for a better sales person. Cathy, I cannot thank you enough for everything that you have done. Not only have you been a great sales person through this entire process, but you have been a great friend. Thank you for all of your advice regarding the problems I have been having with Marshall's allergies. You are a really caring person for doing all that you have done for me. Thank you so much! If you are ever looking for someone to make you a custom dog clothing item, I strongly encourage that you contact Cathy (YT member, 107barney). She will work with you to make something that you will truly love. She also has a great site that you should check out for other items. (www.doggypeepads.com) Thank you again! (..more pictures to follow)

| Cathy really DOES rock! Not only is she busy creating wonderful things for her website, but she also donates to rescue. For the dog show in Houston this year she sent a huge box full of wonderful items....most of which were made by her! She has a huge heart!!

| Aww thanks! Who would have known when I offered to help you create a cupcake dress that we'd have a bunch of laughs and stress along the way....I have to say the most stressful was when you were so upset and thought Admin would suspend you for not having the box shipped to Moka on the last day of shopping because the FEDEX driver decided not to leave my delivery at your house. I'm glad that everything turned out the way you wanted and I appreciate your very sweet comments. You are a wonderful customer and person and the pleasure has been all mine.

| Moka is such a cutie! My fave is the towel and robe set. Count me in on ordering a set of those for each of my girls. Cathy is great! I love her custom designs.

| I couldn't agree more! She made the cutest hoodie for my SB Dreamer too. She is now working on a little something for Pebbles and I can't wait to see this~I'm so excited. Hopefully Pebbles will feel the same way
