I say, if it makes you better, go for it!

Yea def. I mean I like shopping for myself too but I love shopping for other people, that is why I am so excited about the G.E. I love to see people's faces too when they open their presents, etc on holidays or whatever

Hi, my name is Debbie, and i am a Yorkie shopaholic as well.

I order on line and buy. Then it is like Christmas Day when the items arrive.

Just to see the babies respond to new toys and clothes makes me happy.

What can done about this addiction?

If i join a Shopaholics Anonymous, all we would do is trade names of places to get good deals on things.

HEY!! That is what YT is all about.

Well, forget about it then. No one looks at me when i am walking the doggies, they look at the doggies.
Therefore, the doggies need more clothes than I do.

There is no addiction, just love.
End of story!

I am addicted to shopping for Lacy. I work at a dog boutique so everytime we order from a company she gets anywhere from 3-10 new outfits! Then I'm always looking online at new stuff and wantingt to order or I do order... I just love buying things for her. If we get something in the mail or I bring something new home, she sniffs it all over and looks excited

Well, I am trying to decide if I like the Coach bag well enough to put up with those metallic handles. I am not a big fan of metallic leather handles. So I am thinking also of maybe a Louis Vuitton bad with the leather handles. So I am looking on ebay and ioffer at both bags to see what I like better.

I am assuming that all the Coach bags out on the internet are probably fakes since Coach doesn't have the dog carrier for sale anymore.

(At least I don't think so.)

I am an addict too. Put it this way, my two yorkies have 7 beds. I keep finding ones I really love and think Hallee and Gracie will love so I get them. I don't think we need anymore beds.

MissPinkBarbie · 07-07-2007, 02:43 PM

..aren't we all guilty?

I can spend hours every day browsing through pet stores and boutiques.. oh, and not to forget the internet! hehe. I have a problem, I admit..

My husband always goes, "Daisy got more clothes than me! When was the last time I bought myself something?.."

Between me and Daisy, there goes the money!

I tried posting some links earlier, but it wasn't working. Anyway, I am looking at ebay and ioffer at coach bags, but I really dislike metallic looking handles. So then I am also looking at Louis Vuitton. Decisions, decisions!

chachi · 07-07-2007, 02:49 PM

It is fun. I used to be that way once. Mine have so much they dont wear that I really need to sell. So now something has to really make me say wow to buy it.

stedmansmommy · 07-07-2007, 02:58 PM

Oh girl, you are SO not alone! And just to PROVE to you how bad I am, let me explain. Oh, and this is going to be loooong LOL.

There is this little doggy dress that I found on eBay about a month ago that I wanted SO BAD for Tate. Well, stupid me wasn't home when the auction ended and I MISSED it!

Well OF COURSE it ended up getting a bid, and it sold. Soooo, I was on a major MISSION to find this dang dress!

I kept searching eBay every single day in hopes that someone else would have one for sale and list it. Finally I found ONE - but of course it was a size MEDIUM and since Tate is around 2 lbs, that obviously wasn't going to work for her

Anyway, this lady that had the size medium listed, mentioned the brand name of the dress (it is store bought, not handmade) WOOHOO!

So anyway, I figured out where that brand was sold....of course we don't have the store where I live (go figure!!!!

). Well, they have TONS of the stores in Houston, which is about an hour and 1/2 from me. So today both my hubby AND my sister are in Houston (hubby's there for work, and my sister is visiting one of her friends). So I called the stores (I called THREE of them in Houston) and 2 of the stores had the dress, but didn't have the right size I needed....these were the stores that were closest to where my hubby is in Houston (mind you, Houston is HUGE). So then I thought to myself, wait a minute...my sister is there too, so I'll call the mall that is closest to where SHE is, lol!!! So I called that store and LOW AND BEHOLD, THEY HAVE THE DRESS IN TATE'S SIZE!!!!

OMG, I was jumping for JOY!

AND - they have it available in 2 different colors, so of course I am getting both being that it is so dang hard to get them, LOL.

SO....I call my sister on her cell and tell her that she better get her butt to the mall ASAP!!! LOL. Well, I was ECSTATIC to hear, THAT SHE WAS ALREADY THERE!!!!

WOOHOO! I don't know why I was surprised, because my sister is a BIG shop-a-holic like I am, so I should have know that she would be at the mall already

LOL.

Anyway, I told her to get her butt in that store and go buy me BOTH dresses, the lady put them on hold for me, LOL!!! So she is about to go in there and buy them for me...woohooo! Of course I will pay her back, but I am also going to get her to look at the other doggie things (I think they have some bows I want, LOL) and if she finds anything cute I'll tell her to grab them too!!

ALL THAT for a dang DOG DRESS!!!! LOL!

HAH. So, do you SEE how bad I am?? I mean I am BAD, BAD, BAD!

I shop for these babies constantly, WAY more than I shop for myself! I seriously DO have a shopping problem when it comes to them...and I realise that. My hubby said that I seriously need help

HE'S RIGHT! Hah!

Joy, I'm sorry but that struck me as so.... funny the lst sentence that you said.

I have to admit that I'm addicted to shopping for my two also.

I'd much rather shop for them than myself.

Thanks for the laugh, Joy.

Rudys Mom · 07-07-2007, 04:03 PM

Stedmansmommy I am so... happy that you got that dress for your tater tot.
