GE Participant Question

[jltwigg10]

We just added another little furr baby to our home. I took a few GE's off while we moved and got settled. I am going to come back this coming GE. Right now our new little guy is 12 weeks and only 2lbs.

I do not have anything tailored to his little size.

So what does everyone think? Should I enter him or wait for him to get full size and then enter him?

Please tell me what you really think would be best.

Personally, I would wait until he's a little older. Participants in the GE put a lot of thought (and money) into purchasing personalized items for their Secret Buddy and I think it would be a disappointment to buy something for a SB that will only get to be worn for a very short period of time since the puppy is still growing. I'm not saying that I wouldn't have something personalized if my SB was a puppy, I'm just giving you an honest opinion.

Awww congratulations on your new baby. You could always put in your sign up that he's still a baby so not to spend a lot on clothes at this point. But it would be a great way to get him some other things he'll always need and use.

I think there are plenty of things your SB could get him as a puppy.....toys, personalized gift baskets, shampoos, treats etc.... BTW he is soooooo cute!

I would wait. If you get outfits and such he will out grown them sooo fast.

Awww Congrats!! I say go for it! Yes he will outgrow the outfits but he needs something to wear now right? And you can always do another GE when he gets bigger!

Thanks everyone. I think we are going to jump in. Now I just need him to be still enough so I can measure him. LOL
Not an easy task. He is a ball of furry energy.
A couple of GE's back our buddy got my older dog a Hide-a-Squirrell.
He keeps taking one of the squirrells and zooming around the room with it in his mouth. It is actually very funny to watch.

Well I have decided to wait until the exchange in August.
We moved to a colder climate and he will need something to stay warm.
Hopefully by then we will have a good handle on his size too.

But at least then if someone gets him something to stay warm in, it will fit for that winter.

awwww, well maybe you'll be our buddy in august. I'm already expecting to be addicted to these GE's!!!

I love them but had to be out for a little bit.
It is so hard not to jump back in now that I can.

It is very addicting.

I am really having a hard time resisting the urge to join this GE. They are just so much fun!

So here is my question.
Would it be too hard to find things for him?
I managed to get his measurements this morning.

Neck is 7
Chest is 10
Height is 6
Waist is 8
Body length is 7
Weight is 2lb 2 ozs

I am asking for feedback. So go ahead and be honest, I am ready. :-)

[Rescuemomma]

Honestly, it may the some work but I think it's possible! He's about my Benjamin's size, only Benji's an old man LOL. It is harder to find things that fit Benji, but not impossible!

[Bitsy]

I say sign up!!!!! Spoiling a puppy is lots of fun! I know Connie can make things really small....I'm sure others could as well!

Have you decided yet? I say sign up. Clothes would be the most difficult thing, but aside from that there are lots of ways to spoil your little fella! So I say c'mon! Join!
