looking for her tooth, lol. I did look at the stroller at Pets Mart as they are on sale now, but the one they had was defective so I guess I shall go on line and check it out, you said you got yours on Ebay, I will go look in a bit and see what they have. I was wondering can the net on the front be completely removed, did you get the cover that helps keep out the wind and rain with yours? The pink is pretty but I am a blue denim person

so I think I shall go for the blue, where all do you use yours?
Hubby doesn't think too much of the idea of one, but thats ok I know I shall appreciate having one. I am off to do my search. Patti

Hi Patti,

Yes, I actually bought 2 on ebay. One for my sister who has a toy poodle and one for me. I have seen them online for about what I paid. I didn't get a super savings but it was cheaper than the 129.00 I have seen them in stores for. Mine did not come with the weather thingy but you can purchase them for 19.99 separately. I might get that someday but I can't think of a time when I would be out in the rain for any length of time so it is low on my priority list for now. I don't know why just the pink comes with it--not fair to us blue lovers! My husband thinks it is ridiculous but and told me not to expect him to push it. LOL I have actually not used mine except for around home as of yet. I plan on using it more now that the weather is getting nice. I haven't got the nerve to take Mayzie in a store yet other than my local Pet Valu store. I do have a Petsmart opening soon near me, you can best bet that this Yorkie stroller pushin' mama is going to be there when it does! Good Luck with your decision!

Yeppers, go buy one and then show it to him.
I think they are a great item and will be handy if you get the blue I bet he will push it around too. How old is your yorkie? Baby Blessing has been loosing her teeth so the good Fairy is bringing her one :-) Patti

I already have the blue one...and I don't think he will push it. LOL Mayzie is 5 1/2 months. I can't tell how many teeth she has lost because they all look the same to me. I know for sure her front 2 on the bottom on second teeth now (they came in really fast!) and she had lost just about every other one on the top--if that wasn't comical! LOL I can't tell about the rest though

I haven't found any to save either

I think this is my 100th post! Yeah me!

We have a pink one for Princess!
I just love it! We shop at the mall all the time

A stroller would be a perfect solution to my park walking problem with Buffy. She's tiny and a little bit on the "curvacious" side--if you know what I mean!!!

I've been taking her to the park and she can only walk so far before getting tired. I want to do my walking at the same time so I end up carrying her for the next hour or so. I probably be able to walk for a longer time but she gets heavy after a while. I tried one of those pet pocket type things that you wear and the dog sits in....my back was killing me after a half-hour..

And its awesome for softball games where there are tons of young kids who don't understand that your dogs don't want to be poked at for two hours straight! I hate leaving them at home... so the stroller is like a safe haven for them! They love it! And the mall will let the girls in if they are in the stroller... I called ahead and asked! They said YES!

I say its a DO! And a very Fun do at that!

I have a 5th Avenue stroller for my BOYS and I LOVE IT, LOVE IT!!!!! I agree with all the ideas for using your strollers..............They are wonderful! I don't care about the weird looks either! Lots of people ask where I got my stroller and they also think it's a great idea!

Well, I went to Petsmart today and purchased the pink one for Madison. She loves loves loves it!!!! I had her outside and she just sits and looks at everything. I'm so glad I got it!

WTG girl

you and Madison will love the stroller

I think we need a "stroller pic thread"

Madison0401 · 04-23-2006, 12:26 PM

It was funny because when I was at PetSmart..the manager was unloading boxes and he looked in my cart and saw the stroller box and said, "my god another stroller...I can't keep them in stock" I just smiled. I love it!

We also went to PetsMart and got Baby Blessing her stroller

. I am going to put it together tonight. I think this is the greatest to have. We settled on the pink, for the summer the lighter color is cooler, love the way the top folds back, didn't notice that before

I am going to decorate the pink with some patches of fabric, I am a denim fad, the fabric I have has a pretty pattern with the blue jean stitched pockets edges trimmed with white eyelit lace and small pink rose buds scattered about, I think that will look very nice

I think thats a great idea to post pictures of all our babies in their new stroller

I am off to see if my engineering brain will get this together. Patti and ~~Baby Blessing~~

Debbie · 04-29-2006, 06:35 PM

that is what I was going to say... you can give your dogs shots but that don't mean they can't still get sick... I don't let my Yorkies go potty where every dog in the town goes potty... If I am in the park I carry them.. That is why I am goin g to get one as soon as I can...I don't like for every one to walk up to them and pet them.. It could just be me... but I have lost one Yorkie and I don't wish to lose another... And my little furbabys get tried... they have little legs...lol Just like a little child gets tried of walking... so do yokies.. its good for them to walk.. My little ones get a work out at home... SO I don't worry about them not walking alot... I think its a smart thing to have... every Yorkie lover should have one... they can lay down and just watch every thing and not worry... I also what to tell you all a story about a lady that was walking her little Yorkies in the park and a man came by with his dog and his dog grabed the little yorkies so fast and killed it... that is why if I see a dog coming I pick up my dog fast... The man was very sorry his dog had never done that before... it only takes one time... Don't worry what any one thinks... It really is a safe thing to have...

...let your four legged kid WALK!

No, j/k. I'd use one...once in a blue moon, which imo is still enough reason to buy one! I saw a lady bringing in her two small poodles together in one (the infamous pink stroller).
Cute!

I have thought about pet strollers before but never bought one. You have ALL convinced me it is a must. Thanks

Hi Gloria, I see you are new to YT, WELCOME. I haven't had a chance to take Baby Blessing out in her new stroller yet, but it sure came in handy last week as I was able to keep a close eye on her while she was sick and able to roll her about while I did my house work, etc. One thing I realized, I shall be sure to take her out from the back end of it with a harness and leash on her so she doesn't jump out and take off or get hurt. She leaped right out the front when I went to take her out of it

plan to take her to the mall on my shopping trip this week. How old is your yorkie and what is its name? Well, I am off to get some work done, have a great day everyone. Patti
