I even have new throws on hand and when I've placed my fosters, I sent a new throw home with them as part of their adoption package, along with one of the many, many coats I have around here. Lizzie is getting her own little collection of stuff. I've got three harnesses and I don't know how many collars for her.

I have to admit, when I joined this board and saw the sticky "Yorkie Coats, Colors and Puppy Growth Charts," my first thought was "shopping opportunity." Sheesh!

ROTFL...."first thought was shopping opportunity"....spoken like a true addict

Some day, when I'm ready to come completely clean, I'll post pictures of Ruby's bedroom, with her filled closet and armoire of bows, collars and doggy jewelry.

AND.....Deb....I know you and your shopping addiction - you can be our club president...LOL!

Hi. My name is Mary and I'm a puppy shop-a-holic. My brother and his wife and kids are moving to NYC in august and I can't wait to go to the puppy boutiques there! My dogs have their own little armoire and chest of drawers (indication of how many clothes they have...and they have their own laundry day right along with my girls!) expensive beds in every room of the house complete with monogram blankets and more toys than some kids have! We always laugh that if we come back in another life we want to come back as one of our dogs! Life is rough for them!! LOL! Still it makes me think of all the dogs in the world who don't have a warm bed to sleep in and someone to love and spoil them! Love to shop for puppy stuff!!! So much fun and all part of having a yorkie!!!

kjc · 05-30-2010, 07:30 AM

Ha! I, on the other hand, didn't know if you meant 'shopping to buy Yorkie things' or 'shopping to buy Yorkies.'!

DaisyMom · 05-30-2010, 07:38 AM

Ok Britster, after reading all of these posts I have decided that you are on the normal side of the scale after all! What you have described for your Yorkie seems to be standard operating equipment!

Of course, if you are like me, you spend a lot more time shopping for the stuff than actually buying it. In that case, what your dog actually owns isn't quite an accurate reflection of the seriousness of your habit!

Maybe we should all share our favorite online stores, one addict to another? Lol!!

My bigest mistake was finding e-bay, I just cant help myself, theres just so many cute things on there. I've been banned from buying puppy sized things for our new Chi pup as we have so much stuff already.

lms0034 · 05-30-2010, 07:01 PM

I have to show my DH this thread so he realizes I'm not the only one who is a shopaholic for my doggies! We have 7 beds, 6 dog bags/carriers, countless clothes, 9 harnesses, 18 leashes... the list goes on and on...

2Morkies · 05-30-2010, 08:54 PM

Hey...My Target doesn't have the t-shirts.

I look for them all the time too.

I am totally a puppy shop-o-holic!!! I also have the plastic dressers with 5 drawers. They also have one plastic tub with lid for shampoos and conditioners and one tub with lid for extra toys that I rotate. Hair accessories galore, clothes, slings, collars, harnesses, leashes, a car seat, brushes, combs, clippers, everything one would need for their spoiled puppy.
I'm glad I'm not the only one...lol.

I wish I could give them their own room/bathroom with access to their own play yard with lots of grass and an in ground black bottom wadding pool that gradually slopes deeper.......... Ahhh....Someday.....when I win the lottery they'll have it.

I can bring you shirts from my Target! I loooooove Target.

I thought I was the only puppy shopaholic!!!. It's like I eat sleep and breath puppy clothes! Everywhere I go I'm on the hunt! Especially online. If I had room I would totally have a puppy armoire.

honeykisses · 05-31-2010, 08:52 PM

It's nice to know I'm not the only one. I converted my laundry room into my doggie room, and they have a whole 5 ft shelf full of supplies, their grooming table and I just recently had to go buy another plastic drawer unit (the kind on wheels that has a bunch of drawers) to add to my other two because we ran out of room to store stuff. That doesn't account for the massive grooming products under the kitchen sink (that cost way more than what I spend on my own, btw). I can relate to the post about multiple raincoats....I have them too, and more winter coats than we need, and we live in Florida.
