I got 2 boys before I got Darcy,,,,sorry, they cost as much!  I never bought more than a few coats and t's clothing-wise, but I bought them collars, harnesses, and leashes in EVERY boy color under the sun, before I decided those just weren't good enough, and switched to Coach collars.   
I also spent a small fortune experimenting to find the right treats, shampoos, conditioners, etc.   
If it is any consolation, I found that I spent less money in the long run on doggie items by buying online.  The quality and variety beats anything you can find in Petco (which is about all we have here).  Also, walking in to a store is just plain dangerous, I end up with even more than I came for.  When I'm online, I do plan, and think more about what I want.     |
