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.

lol When me and hubby went to a diy store the other day I happen to mention that we need another wardrobe, Why ? he says for tia and olly I reply, What? he says since when have they got another clothes to fill a wardrobe? When your at work and Im out shopping , i reply. he wasn't amused

[ArmaniMan]

I am a shop-a-holic too!

I bought mine their own dresser at some point because they had too much but that is overfilled now and I have three additional baskets full of their stuff

I am mostly bad with beds, blankets, and toys...

I ALWAYS have a wishlist going for the kiddos,

Right now the top things are:

1. pj's for both (dont need to get them until closer to winter)

2. bathrobes for both... I have been showering them with me and then I stick them out in the bathroom while i finish and it would be nice to wrap them in something that would stay on... again not super important since it is so warm right now will be more important in the winter.

3. A snuggle sack type bed

4. the sherpa dinosaur toys

I am guessing this is not normal... haha!

I thought this too when I just had Armani but then a girl wiggled her way into my heart and of course I had to run out and buy all girly things... lol, so it didnt quite work out as expected.

I love to buy stuff for my furbabies

[OneShinyface]

Count me in. I feel guilty when I leave her home and always stop at a pet store to pick up a toy or two or three. Plus she has a wardrobe that rivals mine - I'm a HUGE clotheshorse.

She has three beds, but I found a cute sofa at Costco that I'm thinking about going to buy because it matches the furniture in our great room.

She has a stroller, but we saw a three-wheeled one with a higher handle and parent tray so now I'm on the hunt for the best deal on a new stroller.

And don't get me started on top-knot bows...

[lexipoo]

Oh...I love this post. I feel so much better now. Lexi is so spoiled and I am a shop-a-holic too. There isn't anything this little girl doesn't have. Beds..well can I count that high? LOL Toys...we need to give to the needy Clothes..she has her own dresser too..chaulk full and bows well we could supply all of the doggies on the east coast of Florida..LOL
Car seat, play pen, cabana for the beach..I too have dish fetish...love those darn cute dishes...and poopie bags they are just too cute too. Gueeze I need to see someone...LOL I could go on..and on..and on
So HAPPY to know I am not alone...and my DH will be too. Although, he too spoils her. Not sure which one of use has more of the problem now

I haven't been to many dog shows since the last dog I was competing with in agility got lymphoma, about three years ago. She had been the youngest dog in my house, so I didn't have anyone else for training. Lizzie won the top training spot by default, thanks to her age. At least she likes it.

But you wouldn't believe how much money I've saved by not going to agility trials. I always took extra shopping money for the big, combined shows like the Peach Blossum Cluster in Perry, GA every year. Heck, I sometimes think I entered the trial for the excuse to shop. I love shopping at the shows! All that great stuff in one place - - leashes, collars, beds, coats, treats, food, toys, jewelry, suppliments, and every grooming acroutrement you can think of and then some. I've got tons of crate pads and every kind of crate, I think, on the market at the time.

[baileys mommy]

I love shopping for bailey she has all kinds of dresses the pinker the better and the toys are taking over my living room she has two baskets full and some on the floor all the time! I also love the hair supplies and I love shopping for her it makes me so happy!

I have a plastic drawer thing I keep in the closest with 3 drawers for his stuff... anyways I came to realize how ridiculous it was all the stuff he has! ONE dog... and he's got like 4-5 harnesses, probably 8-10 collars, a bunch of shampoo's and shampoo samples, a bunch of food samples (he either didn't like, or we didn't use, yet I still keep them in a baggy...) a few different plastic food bowls (I find these for cheap like $1, and can't pass them up) and just ... a variety of things. He doesn't have too many clothes, I'm good in that area... lol. Just a few jackets for winter and maybe 5 tshirts that he never wears but I buy anyways lol.

But every time I see something cheap in the store or whatever, I just can't pass it up! Oh, let's not forget the whole basket of toys he has that he rarely plays with... totally insane! But of course he's worth it. The way I look at it, if I ever get a 2nd dog, I will be pretty much set in supplies!

I just wanted to be sure I'm not the only crazy one or maybe I am?

I have two babies now Bambino (pure bred Yorkie) and Lulu (yorkie/min pin)
With Bambino he had EVERYTHING. Toys Galore! Of which he only liked and plays with three. Polo's , Halloween costumes, tanks,2 leashes, 2 collars 2 blankets. 2 beds and some old pillows we gave him to sleep on the floor. My one guilty pleasure is I got him a Burberry Cashmere turtleneck sweater which he wears during winter and loves!
Lulu has dresses and a doggie bad two blankets, some toys from Bambino that he never wanted and actually one of his beds is now hers since he didn't like it as much as his new one (its brand new, hardly used) and that's all for now but I can feel my hand itching every time I go into a puppy boutique here!

Ugh now I feel bad, but this was therapeutic...lol
You're not the only one.

<3,
Nathalie,Bambino and Lulu

lol I understand. In fact I'm thinking about making my own line of Yorkie couture. I have excuse for everything I buy..to tight or uncomfortable. Especially the collars. Mainly collars..working on soft harness..nothing has been to tight really everything is to big. lol last thing we do every night is pick up toys from outside and in. May be me or the dogs soon..hubby said he would like 1 gd night sleep without a fur ball curled between his knees.. I don't see this happening soon tho.AhleighCharlie mom

Oh my gosh! I have found my home...I fit right in here! My babies have their own 4-drawer dresser & it is full! I cannot help myself!!! Love all of you for the confessions....LOL!!!!

[klittle0024]

I am completely obsessed with buying for my furbaby. I take her with me to ballgames and things around town and she never wears the same thing twice. People constantly talk about how cute her clothes are and how broke I'm going to be when I'm old enough to have children. I love every minute of it... Nothing makes me happier! She has her own chest of drawers for her winter clothes that is full right now and I hang up all of her summer stuff (jam packed for about 5 feet across). At first my family thought I was crazy but now when they go places they bring her stuff too My boyfriends grandmother has even made Bayli two handmade quilts and she got more for her 1st birthday then I got for my 20th!! And I would NOT change a thing!!

[misslissa]

okay i have 4 dogs well i have 5 but my chi-weenie went to stay with my mom because i cant have in my borrowed home because the woman who owns it is terribly allergic to her. in my little ranch house which is three bedrooms a kitchen a dineing room a liveing room and a bathroom upstairs and a tv room a bedroom a game room a shop a laundry room a pantry and a shower room downstairs we have
25 dog beds
i have 107 receiving blankets and about 12 fleece blankets
i have a wreath box full of clothes rain coats, tee shirts costumes light weight jackets winter coats pajamas snow suits and gatsby tuxedo for my mos wedding (he is my dads best man) and the girls purple party dresses for the reception (my bridesmaid dress is still in the box sitting on the dining room table)
i have a 15 gallon tote box full of grooming supplies i dont use i have about 15 bottles of shampoos i have sitting on the counter that are still in the experiment stage.
my bathroom drawers are full of the dog brushes and combs and things of that nature
i have a mini fridge that sits on my kitchen table that has food ingredients and treats in it including special doggy ice cream
and the kicker
gatsby has a special plush arm chair in ever room of the house except the bathroom yes this includes the kitchen and shower room and no one else is allowed to sit on them not even the other dogs i had to buy love seats for the liveing room tv room and game room for the other dogs. i am in thr process of having a fence put up that is 8 feet high above ground and two feet under ground with little Plexiglas windows so they can still see out onto the street.

[Mbernard1033]

I can definitely relate. Brayli is beyond spoiled! She's my baby girl, and I don't even think she realizes she's a puppy. I carry a baby diaper bag with us at all times with a few changes of clothes, paw wipes, treats, blankeys, etc. She has multiple beds, plenty blankeys, entirely too much clothes, her own toy box, and more bows than I have room for. She has a monogrammed cover for her crate, her own pink carseat, and her own pink stroller (the size of an infant travel system). I can't help but choose to spoil her instead of myself, she's adorable when she gets new things.. she knows when she sees a Wal-Mart bag, to wait for her new toy. I admit it.. I'm obsessed.

[zoie meme mom]
