| I don't know if there is anything to help you organize everything or not. However, having 4 dogs of my own I have to keep all my stuff organized. I keep all toys in a toy box or a hamper. Shampoos, conditioners, detanglers are all put on "the dog" shelf in the bathroom closet or are kept in a small storage bin while brushes, scissors, clippers, bows, etc. go in a seperate box so no spills can happen that will ruin the other grooming products. All the dog towels and blankets are kept in the bathroom closet or a basket or storage bin if I did not have a bathroom closet. All leashes, collars, harnesses are hung up on a nail that I put in right by the outside door. Clothes are all hung up in the closet. All dog food, cat food, rabbit food, is all kept in the hallway closet with treats as well or if that is not possible I will keep all dog food and all other food in a storage bin made to keep dog food fresh. I don't know if this helps or not, this is just the way I do it, I just like to keep everything organized and in its own place.

| My four have their own chest of drawers. Top 2 drawers are their clothes, next is combs, brushes, hair accessories, next is leashes, harnesses plus coats and sweaters, bottom is Flea and Heartworm meds and misc. Their shampoos and towels are in the bathroom on their own shelf. Works for us.

| Wow, Janie...you have 6 yorkies?? I would too if my husband would let me! He already feels neglected and I only have two! I have so much stuff for mine as well and it ends up in a basket all a jumble. I liked the chest of drawers idea from Yorkie3. I may have to do that! I saw where Petsmart sells hangers for dog clothes!

| I only have one baby, so I'm sure we don't have nearly as much "stuff" as you do. But her clothes are hung in the spare bedroom closet (Target has doggie hangers) and there is a small bookshelf inside the closet where her leashes go. She has a little box that her hair stuff is in and in the other bedroom is where her toys are.

| I use a rubbermaid container with a snap lid, but I only have one yorkie. Chachi, I have 3 of those rubbermaid drawer systems (with 5 drawers on wheels) downstairs in my workroom...they hold my painting and drawing supplies...crafting stuff, etc. I think I'm going to take one and use it for Topher's stuff as he's collecting more and more clothes as time goes by...plus he has more grooming products than I have!!! lol I think for 6 yorkies, I'd get a chest of drawers. |

| Yep, I do the plastic drawers for all our stuff too. (We have over ten pets....with all the different animals, the STUFF can overtake you if you don't get organized!) I have all their grooming stuff in a plastic shoe box, and it's so easy to grab whereever I am, and rummage around for whatever I need (brush, comb, detangling products, claw clippers, etc....rubberbands for their hair...even their battery shaver...and of course, treats! )
