Hi there
I am beginning to think I am all alone on this forum!! LOL!
Seriously though I feel that we must all make a real effort to make this site work, so that more people will join. We could all share much more than we do, I think. For example, I am wanting to knit a jersey for my furbaby and if anyone wants the pattern they may pm me if they wish. I am trying to find the right wool and I also want to alter it a bit. Once I am finished knitting it, I will definitely show you all the result, good or bad (promise). The reason I bring this up is that I hadn't thought of sharing this on the forum until I started writing this! Perhaps many of us do this kind of thing? I am sure we could do as well as our US cousins if we tried. We really need this forum to share sites/ shops/vets/ groomers/food/treats/ and other things that we are able to get in the UK and the rest of Europe.
Doesn't the US site just makes you drool?!!! They are so much better off than we are, as there seems to be a bigger market for Yorkie related items, dvds, books, health foods, treats, clothing etc. The cost of shipping it over is simply prohibitive so we really should try and share with each other whenever we find anything good on this side of the pond.
If there are any skilled sewers and needlework people who want to start supplying us with items eg like the silk harnesses (that someone on the US site makes beautifully) I am sure we would buy them. (She also makes dogbeds and krackle toys and liver treats.) We must try and find members who are talented in these areas who would enjoy making these things for us. If the product is well made and value for money I am quite sure we would be love to support our members in this way rather than the big stores.
I am making an effort not to just go straight to the US site, as there is so many more posts, but to come to our site first.
These are just my feelings and I hope you don't mind me expressing them. I would love our site to be active and full of information etc. We would all get so much out of it.
Luv
Franceen
