Am I the only crazy lady here? - YorkieTalk.com Forums

SweetViolet · 01-29-2009, 07:09 AM

Puddin' is my first puppy in nearly 20 years and she arrives in only a week! I have been in a frenzy of shopping...and sewing.

Does anybody else sew for their furbabies? I've made a stack of fleece blankets and washable quilted pads and a washable cotton liner for her basket. I have patterns coming for fleece jerseys and PJs, and this weekend I am going to a textiles flea market to hunt for fleece and flannel.

Am I alone in this? My husband thinks I am crazy and made eye-rolling faces when I pulled out a crochet hook and some pink yarn last night...

goofypup · 01-29-2009, 07:16 AM

Nope......LOL.....I agree with you Graven... hubby is the crazy one!!

chattiesmom · 01-29-2009, 07:34 AM

No, you have plenty of company if you call sewing for your Yorkie child "crazy". Not only do I sew, I also cook

In fact sometimes my human family gets the "left overs" from preparing the weekly food for the furkids.

I'm so jealous. Wish that I knew how to sew, then I could be crazy too

LOL NOPE not crazy...I can't sew...but if I could I'd be doing the exact same thing...since I can't sew...I go crazy buying blankets, clothes, toys...I just bought my girls a new collapsible soft dog house for indoors...(which caused hubbys eyes to roll) so I think it's perfectly natural to "go crazy" for our babies!!

You just wait until that little girl gets her paws on your hubby. He'll never be the same. My DH use to make fun of people who had clothes on their dogs and their hair put up in bows. Now he's worse then me about making sure that Gracie Ruth's hair clips match her outfit.

He's the one that started putting her hair in pigtails. I had thought of doing it, but just hadn't gotten around to doing it. I came home from work one day and there she was with 2 pigtails AND matching sparkily barrets.

It's one of her favorite hair styles now. I've started braiding her top knot too. She looks so cute with a braid! Unfortunately DH's 'big man fingers' can't do the braid, but I wouldn't be surprised if he doesn't still try.

Oh welcome to the world of Yorkie addiction! There are many here just like you

. Please share pictures when your new little bundle arrives!

Bentleys Momma · 01-29-2009, 09:37 AM

That is so sweet. You are going to be such a good Yorkie mommy. I can't wait to see pics of her modeling all her clothes!

Yah...he took me to see the litter so I could pick a puppy for my Valentine's prezzie. I handed her to him and she stretched out in the palm of his hand (he also has big hands) and took a nap, paddling her feet like she was chasing rabbits. He was a goner!

So, I expect when she gets here, he'll be smitten all over again!

Wait until you see him react to the first time she coughs or yips or cries pitifully. He'll be a puddle of goo all over her.

Gracie was 3 months old when we got her and she hiccupped a lot. He was all set to make a doctors appointment until I explained to him that puppies, like babies, get the hiccups often and that she would out grow it.

awww your not crazy, that is sooo sweet. I wish that I was that crafty so I could sew my own stuff. That is one lucky little pup.

That baby pen is really adorable, I love it. I've never seen one like that, where did you find it, was the cover seperate?

To the OP, I was the same way, I really think it was a lot like being pregnant and I had the "nesting" instinct. I wanted everything perfect for my new baby.
