Anything extra I want my Gift Exchange Pal to know about my Yorkie (please mention anything your Yorkie doesn't like or doesn't want or can't eat) -
We always love to get lots of ideas from the secret buddy signup we receive so we’ll give you lots of ideas to give you somewhere to start. Above all, have fun and don’t worry too much about what you get us. Tucker would be happy with an empty water bottle, lol!
Some ideas! (These are ideas only, please don’t feel intimidated or like you have to follow these. 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.)
Agility Tucker and I do agility. We are just getting started with the accessories though. We would absolutely LOVE a martingale lead, as these are used when competing and we don't have one yet. We would also be super excited about any sort of agility merchandise like tee shirts with an agility related saying or graphic on it. I know they’ve got lots of cool memorabilia out there for it, maybe google yorkie agility or dog agility.
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
Don't spend too much on it, but if you are a talented sewer, it could be a neat project we would really get some great use out of.
Clothes/Outfits Tucker could use 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 Wuckey" would be awesome! He's all set on most other kinds of clothing. Also I make bows so he’s got lots of those, too.
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 if it looks close cut. (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:
Property of an Agility Dog Women's Cap Sleeve T-Sh < Property of an Agility Dog < Dog Agility Gifts < Popper's Agility T-Shirts
Please know that the above are meant as ideas and suggestions, not restrictions, so please, go with whatever you’d like. 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!!!
