| Gift Ideas- UK Hi there, I have been looking out for Christmas presents for my Pippi Longstocking over the last few weeks and have come across the fab Hartz patterned jumper availale at ASDA Walmart stores. Pippi has been wearing hers for a week or so now and she loves it- It is so cold here on the welsh borders she needed her Christmas present early! I bought pipnip the red jumper and I have also bought the black and green ones for my friend's dogs. I will upload a picture of Pippi in hers asap. Best Wishes, Lizzi & Pippi xxx P.S. Does anyone think it would be a good idea to start a YT Gift Exchange here in the UK? It might be nice to send and recieve some gifts !!! |

| UK Doggy Gifts... I find clothes for the little'uns really pricey! You can't just pick up a selection of nice clothes cheaply, especially ones that fit nicely and the dog likes. I am on ebay uk all the time bidding on doggy clothes but you can't guarantee a good fit there. In the shops they charge so much for so little too, its cheaper to buy clothes for me than for Pippi!!! We really need an American chain to set up some stores over here, then we could buy a whole wardrobe for our pets. Pippi is fourteen and a half now so she always needs a jumper or a coat throughout the winter. She loves coming with us in the car wherever we go out and here on the Welsh borders, she gets so cold we can't really take her outside without being wrapped up warm. A few years ago I managed to find a dog coat that was like a small version of a horse coat. Its super becase its fleece on the inside and waterproof outer. I can't remember the make of it but its super. Hopefully something will make dog shopping easier soon! Best Wishes Lizzi xxx |

| Im the same also, am always on Ebay. But even in there I think we get ripped off. Am sure you have seen the wee fleecy jumpers in army print. Well they are looking around £10 for them, and I have seen them on american sites for like $5.

Lovin' 2 Girls Donating Member | ebay shipping kills my enthusiasm to shop there, much. A UK gift exchange would be great - except it would take you all out of the pool for our larger 'family' one...?? Part of the benefit of the GE is an opportunity to get to know your GE buddy better .

| I haven't seen those in my local Asda. I did buy some for mine in Asda in summer, but they were more like thin T-shirts, think they were about £2.50 each. I've taken to knitting jumpers for mine, was given 3 books of dog coat patterns for Christmas presents last year most of the patterns are a bit big for my littlest ones so I just size them down. Mine shiver when they go out without a coat now. It's bitterly cold up here where I live, high on the West Pennine Moors, with a constant wind that blows straight through to your bones, plus horizontal rain most days |
