Congratulations on your new baby! Don't worry we won't tell your hubby

I can honostly say the only thing I hide from him is how much I spend on Lola & Lia, it's a mother daughter thing. I don't waant to be a trouble maker..........but wait until you discover the sweaters, holiday outfits, blankets, beds, boots, bows, car seats, toys etc. It never ends but it's just so exciting!!! Every time your out shopping and find something for you furbutt that you adore you buy it and drive home with happy butterflys in your belly

So Happy for you!!!

So to everyone, does anyone know of a better treat than greenies that I can give to her?

Mine like Itty Bitty Buddy Biscuits by Cloud Star. They are very littl, they look like little gingerbread men. They also like the Sargento low fat cheese sticks, I break small pieces off for them. They would eat almost any treat but I'm sure most of them are full of fat and stuff that will make them sick.

I gotta tell you I've got things coming in the mail just about every week for them. You'll find some great deals right here on YT. In the products for sale section. Bijou just got some custom made dresses from a yter that are so beautifully made and very well priced! I. Put pictures in the photo section if you'd like to see them. Id link you but I'm on my cell and can't do it with this phone.

I also recommend you look @ dog.com as well. I've gotten some cute beds, clothes, and carriers from there for great prices and reasonable shipping. Congratulations again and welcome to YT!

Thanks so much, I'll check it out! Yes, she's the same pup in my avatar... I can't wait to get a real bow in her hair! She's so freakin cute, I want to hold her so badly!!

Gennies · 02-14-2010, 07:14 PM

I just had to pop over to ur album to see and she is sooooooo darn cute! I feel for u waiting until the 23rd. Can't wait to pictures of her in ur loving arms.

Marie 1 · 02-14-2010, 07:18 PM

Hi, take the greenies back. Your pup could choke on them so easy. We gave to our old cocker but stopped as we could see she was biting off pieces to big.

mypreciouspups · 02-14-2010, 07:21 PM

I would also take the greenies back as I have not heard much good about them.. I was given some as a gift from a family member and did not use them....

Oh welcome to the real yorkie world.. and the expense your going to find yourself into when you start searching sellers of dogs clothing.

.Oh yes it just gets to be something you have to have..I for one have so many things.. I get laughed at.. well not from YT members of course but by friends and family...
I can tell you your shopping for a new babie will be so so much fun!!!
I also think if you do a lot of reading here you will find good pet foods and also good healthy treats to use..
I swear the dollar signs flash in my hubbies eyes when I begin looking and taking measurements.. hehehe
Bottom line I do not think many hubbies really know what we spend.. My girlfriend says I spare nothing for my dogs and then I look for bargains for me... LOL

Yea, I figure the less he knows about it the better off I am lol! I handle the money anyway, and he's happy as long as he can get his comic books every week and eat! I am going to switch her food to Blue Buffalo, because I have read wonderful things about it, and their ingredients are very good. I know to do it slowly though, by mixing her old food with the new so that she gets used to it. I never spend money on myself, it always goes to my kids, and now it will go to the yorkie as well!

ellabee · 02-14-2010, 08:11 PM

...I would add pee pads, poop bags, a cute holder for the bags & an ex-pen to the list!

I have a pup coming home in May, so I am taking the next 3 months to gradually pay off the puppy and to collect all the items the pup will need. The list seems endless and I am totally getting sucked into things I don't need (ie super cute knockoff Juicy carrier)!

Congrats on your new puppy looking forward to seeing pics!!

ellaYORKIE · 02-14-2010, 09:17 PM

Yep, the little boogers are expensive, but i wouldn't trade mine for the world. She is my first pet too. My family has always had yorkies but Ella is all mine. I've spent alot on her since i got her. I try not to think about that though. He he. =] I had no clue what greenies were until i came her to YT. I would NEVER let Ella eat them now. Too many animals have died and she isn't going to be one of them

Mom to Hot Rod · 02-14-2010, 09:35 PM

ha, ha, congrats on your new baby. Sasha is adooorable! I had to laugh because you have not even begun to spend any money yet! $100.00 will pale in comparison to what you spend once she's arrived.

I say that in a good way, 1 bed, 1 outfit, 1 harness, 1 coat, 1 type of treat, 1 type of chew are never enough! lol Do youself a favor and don't even think about $ signs, it will be less painful.

And they are so very much worth it.

Besides the bakery type cookies, other good chews are bully sticks, deer antlers, and himalayan chews. A kong filled with peanut butter and frozen is also a good way to keep them busy.

Many people also give raw meaty bones which are good for their teeth.

I agree. I think Bonnie did not chew on things (she shouldn't) because I aways had a bully for her to chew on.
Congrats on your new baby!!

Congrats on your upcoming arrival.

Seriously, comparing the cost of these little furbabies to skinkids is ridiculous. The Yorkies cost way more!!! You could raise a herd of children for what you are about to spend. And you'll love every minute of it. I took my granddaughters to Build a Bear for valentine's day on saturday, (I think some of those clothes would fit the furkids), but what I bought in addition to their bears was the coolest yorkie sized car for my furgirls. shhh, that made me grin just as much if not more than the bears for the grandkids. (plus the fact that Bug learned how to honk the horn) sick..huh?
I think there are some YTers that could attest to my proclivity for throwing money at them for 'stuff'. You will too....

So, congrats on your first $100, as well...
