| Buying Yorkie stuff in Canada? I just got my Li'l Mac almost 3 weeks ago (he's such a ball of FUN!). Where do you all buy your Yorkie outfits up here (economically that is)? I'm getting a couple of items from Stormy in the US as she posted 106 items for sale at great prices. But I'm wondering if there's anything similar up here or in Ontario even? Where's a good place to get a harness for him. He's such a tiny guy at 11 weeks and under 3 pounds. Thanks!

| Do you have a Petcetera near you? I got tiny harnesses for mine there. It was the only place I could find them. As for clothes, I am going to attempt to make my own but I'll keep an eye out for you and let you know. I know janelles on here sews but I don't know if she sells. You might want to look her up.

| I have really lucked out .. I have gone to petsmart and they have had their XS clothes on sale so I bought what I could that would fit Odie I have a lady friend here in London who is in the process in making him a rain coat and winter wear because anything that I have found is too big. it is hard to have such a small yorkie at times.

| Do you happen to have a store there called Liquidation World? I got a dozen or so shirts/sweaters for about $0.25 a piece! I saw a darling idea for a sock sweater on here (I think) a few months ago. Use an argyle sock (or any really) and cut it in half, cut 2 arm holes out and you're good to go. There may be more to it than that...I cant really remember, but you could google it. Good luck! Kelly |

| Petcetera and PetSmart are probably your best bet. Unfortunately, most of the doggie clothing stores based out of canada seem to be 'boutiques' and are quite pricey (especially here in toronto!). Not sure where in Ontario you are located, but Rens Pets Depot in Oakville is good for pet supplies — not sure what they have for clothing though. Ren's Pets Depot Online Store Buddy belts are my favorite harness - both my dogs have them. They are pricey off the get go, but I'm convinced you will NEVER need another harness again. They are made of leather and come in lots of different colors now. Welcome to BUDDY BELT (A Division of Class Art Productions Inc.) if you want to check it out. Congrats on the new little one!

| Thanks for all the replies! There is no Petcetera in Barrie, ON but we do have a PetSmart - I just thought they would be way overpriced. I'll have to check them out. I'll also check whether walmart.com will ship to Canada - not sure about that either but that would be cool! I'll Google LiquidationWorld - never heard of that but I sure hope we have one nearby as it sounds great too. You're all so lucky to have such great stores near you! Thanks again for all the info!

I buy also from yt members that make things to fit.. If you see people buying from target lots of times they will get extras or even go and pick things up for people.. target in the states always has great deals..what are you looking for.. anything specific ...anne |

| I love to dress Pao up but I have to admit I don't have the luxury on spending much on his clothes so I have to do it wisely. I bought his clothes online usually from US, from Walmart or when I go back to Malaysia. As for winter coats, I prefer to buy them from Canada eventhough it costs a little more because I want to be sure it does keep him warm, if not satisfied I can always return it. I also handsew some fleece pajamas for Pao. Although they don't neccesarily look as good as the ones people sell, I feel good coz I made it out of for him. Now I have to attach some pics since I have mentioned it Sorry for the ugly thick thread that you see because I used thick twine thread.
