Shopping: Holiday deals Have any of you come across any holiday deals for our furbabies---specifically internet deals. Me and the furballs are staying inside this black friday---but we are looking for deals.:D |
I've looked & looked and can't really find much of any sales for pet stuff. Petco.com is having a "sale" but I don't really think it's much of a sale. I can't believe with as bad as the economy is, people aren't offering better prices. |
Thanks. I was hoping that somebody would have more sales--I have four dogs and it would be nice if we could get a break... Oh well :( Do you know where I can get a nice stroller? Do you know if the jeep wrangler is any good? Target is having free shipping for it and I'd like a stroller with good wheels. The stroller that we have now has really bad wheels. |

I did a post a while back wanting people to recommend a stroller to me. I never bought one though because I don't really go anywhere to use one. If I were you, I'd check eBay. That's the good thing about buying online is being able to do price comparisons. Here is the post I made: http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/yor...strollers.html |
thanks for the link. I think that I may go with the Jeep Wrangler one. It's made by the same people as the happy trails/tails? one I could use a stroller because Izze refuses to go on walks (still to scared) and one of my poodle's (per vet's orders) isn't allowed to go on long walks because of her luxating patellars---but she loves being outside. So I was hoping to put them both in it... I would like some sweaters and toys for a little less $$. It's so ridiculous that prices aren't coming down. People are offering up to 75% off of electronics and other items---what about the pets???? |

It may take you some time at first to learn (especially depending upon your free time). As you go though, it's like anything else, practice makes perfect. :p Oh and they also have great books out that you can purchase that will teach you basic sewing terminology, techniques and show you how to even do some projects. Try checking out "Sewing for Dummies" on Overstock.com. Good luck! |
I have been buying stuff from this website:Pet Supplies, Dog Supplies, Cat Supplies, Pet Meds & Pet Products some of their holiday stuff is on sale right now but they aren't doing anything major. I think their stuff is priced better than most other online stores though. I think they have good deals on frontline and advantage, some of their beds are on sale right now too. |

And my pups have different body shapes...so what will work for one, won't for the other---any tips on conquering this problem? thank you...and I may take you up on that! I asked my mom for a sewing machine for Christmas...she said maybe...she said how about a piano instead? so I think that I'm getting a piano...but I'll buy a sewing machine if she doesn't get me one! |
Quote:
The best way to deal with the body shape issue is to make the clothes a little big and fit them after. You may want to start with sewing by hand before getting a machine. Machines can be difficult to use and since dog clothes are so tiny, hand sewing wont take too long. Also, this way you can see if you even enjoy it! Big fabric stores like Jo Anns or G Street Fabrics often have classes that you can take to learn sewing and pattern basics, too! |

I am going to be taking classes...but I don't want to spend too much money on them...I want to figure out what i can before I begin them. I will get that book though! Thanks BTW do you knit? |
I do knit, but haven't yet for my furballs. I may give it a try though! Do you?? Since you already know how to use a sewing machine, you will do great! You can look up classes that may be less $$ at a community center or something, just look around on the internet! |

My mom knits very well and she is showing me how to knit puppy sweaters. You should try to do that. You could earn some $$ if you could. Have you heard of the ultimate sweater machine? If it really works, I'm tempted to get it---if I felt like spending that kind of money! If it works--then it would be worth it... |
Is there a specific sewing machine I would need to start making doggy clothes? I think Ima give it a try:) |

I'd read reviews and stuff first. Singer used to be a really good brand and now all you read are bad things on them. When I bought my new one, I bought a Brother & got it from Overstock.com. I love it & it came in a day with standard shipping! |
