Anything extra I want my Gift Exchange Pal to know about my Yorkie–
Some ideas!
Treats & Agility Tucker and I are going to start Agility classes in September, so we're getting all geared up for that! The main thing I would love to get are some soft, one bite treats that I could take to classes with me. I saw some at Petco I think would be perfect. The brand was "Zuke's" Mini Naturals and they were about the size and shape of the eraser on the end of pencils. I thought that would be a good thing to put on the wish list
The only dry/biscuit like treat I’ve gotten him to eat is the yorkie yummies. Also, he loves cheese but hates peanut butter. Silly dog. Anything else you can think of that would be good for agility would be greatly appreciated too! We are really new to it, and are getting super excited. I know they’ve got lots of cool memorabilia out there for it
Leads & Harnesses We would LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE to get a walk nice harness from Cindy (Chattiesmom)!!! We love the red one! Royal blue would be our next best choice. I've been eying these forever, and we would use it often for our 4 walks a day (I live in a condo so lots of walks
) We have also been looking at the show leads to work on our walking with, so if you come across any of those . . .
Accessories We have a new theme at our house. Black & White polka dots with pops of red. Anything you see that has black and white polka dots, or red, would be awesome. Also, just in case we have a secret buddy that is talented with a sewing machine, it would be extra super duper special to get a cover for our papasan chair (It's Tucker's favorite place to be, but unfortunately no longer goes with the decor
) Black, White, Grey, or red would all match. Tucker really loves the chair when there is a super soft blanket on it, so not sure if there is some grey or black material out there that would give him this texture. Anywho, a neat idea if you are into crafty things like this
Also, I have a grooming table and do most of Tucker’s grooming myself. I’ve seen some people get organizers for their grooming tables in past exchanges and always thought that was a very neat gift. They are like a flap of material that drapes over the side of the table and holds the brushes, combs, grooming sprays, bows, elastic bands, etc. I’ve also seen them with yorkies embroidered and personalized with the name of the dog. All of that isn’t necessary, but this would be something neat if you need ideas
Toys Tucker LOVES to play! As a result, he has several HUGE boxes of toys, many with the tags still on, because of the shear mass of toys he has. Even so, if you know of anything your yorkie absolutely LOVES, feel free to include it. Tucker especially likes things with tails & squeakers.
Clothes/Outfits Tucker needs a few more pairs of overalls. He likes to mark so anytime we visit a friend, go to Petsmart, etc. he has to wear a belly band and overalls are the perfect outfit to hide the band and make him look cute, instead of suspicious with just the band. He is extremely long and skinny, so premade overalls usually don't fit him. Deb with GoFetch has made him a pair of custom overalls before, so she has his measurements should you decide you'd like to contribute to his overall collection
He would love a white pair, a light khaki/tan/biege pair, or a plain denim pair with no trim. If you really want to go overboard, you could have his name embroidered on them. "Tucker" or "Tucky" would be awesome! He's all set on every other kind of clothing. We have more than enough tee's, polo's, Hawaiian shirts, etc. Also I make bows so he’s got lots of those, too.
Beds/BlanketsTucker has never been too fond of blankets. He also has quite a few beds, but I have yet to find one he’s in love with (Other than one’s that say “princess on them” and I can’t handle that). We’ve seen some really cool ones here on YT. So, same thing with toys, he doesn’t need any more beds, but if there is one that you know your Yorkie couldn’t live without feel free.
Also, I know a lot of peeps like to include something for yorkie’s mommy/daddy. By all means don’t feel like you have to, but if you want an idea for me, I’ve been eying tee shirts to wear during agility. I’m usually a small or medium. (Just wanted to include this cause I know it’s really tricky to figure out the size of someone for a shirt, I tried a couple GEs back :P ) I particularly love this one:

Please don’t feel intimidated or like you have to follow these.
Tucker would be happy with an empty water bottle, lol! We’ve just read a lot of people in the past say they wished they had received more information in the signup, so we’d like to error on the side of putting too much instead of not enough. We just want you to have a good time and have all the info in case you need/want it!!!
Have fun shopping and thank you in advance for being our secret buddy!!!
