| Have more GE ideas for your buddy? Hi GE participants!!! When I signed up, I didn't realize how detailed people were going to be with their posts So I thought i'd make a thread where people can post some more details to help out their buddy (if they just want to add more suggestions OR if they forgot something in their signup)!!!!!! - We received a sample of yorkie splash and shine... and are IN LOVE! - I would love to try the tropiclean teeth gel on their teeth, not a fan of what we're using (petrodex) - I could always use another 4' leash! Sophia loves walking and we don't have a backup leash! - Sophia is wondering what all these Cloud 9 thingies are She loves (well mommy) the Ruff Ruff and Butterfly Paisley! Her brother keeps stealing her beds! - Sophia LOVES toys (any and ALL toys)! She has a ton and loves each and every one! I've always wanted to try one of those Kong genius interactive toys - She doesn't have a single personalized item.. so maybe something personalized? Maybe Pajamas? or a blanket? - Just a reminder - the only treats she can have are Mother Hubbard treats! These are just some ideas, Sophia will be happy with ANYTHING you get her! We're looking forward to participating in our first GE and receiving our buddy soon!!!!!!!!!!

| It is funny that you started this thread because I was going to start one that is similar. In the previous GE I was in we did something similar to this. I was trying to come up with a few things that I feel people need to know to make it easier when shopping for your buddy. So I am using some of your answers and making them questions. I also used some questions that came up from the other GE I was in. 1. What type of shampoo/conditioner/detangler do you use? 2. Who have you purchased clothes from in the past that knows your pups perfect fit? 3. What kind of treats does your pup prefer? 4. Pup's Nickname? 5. Shipping preference? 6. Any one special item you really really would like? 7. Do you have a sports team that you love? 8. Leash? Collar? Harness? 9. Bed? 10. Toys? 11. Personalized items? Information about mom 12. Favorite scents? 13. Coffee/tea/wine? 14. Candy? 15. Anything else you can think of for mom or pup? Anyone think of anything else? I will post answers separately! Sophias mommy you have to answer too!

I have wanted one for a while but just haven’t give in to purchase one yet! Also, I would like to have another Cha Cha basket for the girls toys. Can you believe the one we have is overflowing!! I know these are expensive so please don’t feel obligated! Just throwing stuff out there!! We will love anything and everything we get!! 7. Do you have a sports team that you love? Arkansas Razorbacks Football! Woooooo Pig Sooie!! 8. Leash? Collar? Harness? We use a harness on Mikki for her car seat. We do not use collars at all. 9. Bed? We have two cloud 9 beds now.

Her sister Rosie is terrified of the plastic type toys so we don’t buy those. 11. Personalized items? We love personalized items!! Anything would be perfect! Information about mom 12.

I purchase from many of the YT vendors so many of them know a little about us. And what we have and don’t have. Lol. I had a lot of fun with the help of Jenny at toplinepets.com with Shinja and Remy! Jenny was so awesome and helped me to trick Shinja good!

| 1. What type of shampoo/conditioner/detangler do you use? ~Yorkie Splash and Shine 2. Who have you purchased clothes from in the past that knows your pups perfect fit? Washable and reusable dog and puppy pee pads, belly bands, and diapers by T. Bumpkins & Co. is the best able to fit my pups and knows my taste well~ Curri is a Biewer and is almost all white so she looks great in vibrant colors We LOVE her pee pads too! 3. What kind of treats does your pup prefer? She doesn't seem to like treats. Only chicken, green beans and yogurt 4. Pup's Nickname? So far we call her Curri Bee or CB 5. Shipping preference? I have an enclosed porch so having items left no siggy is the easiest 6. Any one special item you really really would like? Curri Bee is a new addition to our family and would love to have some things of her very own. She is still growing a little so maybe making clothing a little on the longer side would be helpful for longest wear She has stolen Sugar's Cloud 9 bed (and she would like it back )and we don't own a brush yet so the wooden pin brush would be cool. 7. Do you have a sports team that you love? MSU or Redwings! 8. Leash? Collar? Harness? We use a choke free harness Ultra Easy ChokeFree & PawRider Pet Seatbelt Adapter (USA) in a size 10 or 11. Any bright color (purple, red, teal Lime green faux ostrich or even the white with the flowers on the sides would be beautiful) 9. Bed? Sugar would love Curri to have a C9 of her own 10. Toys? Curri doesn't seem to play with toys. Could I have 2 dogs that don't like to play?? 11. [COLOR="Black"]Personalized items? Personalized would be great. Or non personalized and if outgrown Sugar can wear them. Information about mom 12. Favorite scents? Vanilla or earthy. 13. Coffee/tea/wine? I don't drink coffee 14. Candy? I love salty 15. Anything else you can think of for mom or pup? Just have fun. We don't need or expect any of the above. These are guidelines only. There are several in (and out) of this GE that you can go to if you are stuck for ideas with us. Jadabug, Normarae,BabygirlRosie,Lil Sis, Megansmomma,Capt_Noonie,107Barney, and many others [/COLOR]

| 1. What type of shampoo/conditioner/detangler do you use? We normally use All Systems Super-Rich Protein Lotion Shampoo and Conditioner. I have tried Yorkie Shine Shampoo and Conditioner on him and his coat turns out really nice with that as well. Also gives him a really nice clean smell. 2. Who have you purchased clothes from in the past that knows your pups perfect fit? I get bandanas from Bo (Mom to Hot Rod). The only harness jacket we had that was made to fit was done by Pita's Pooch Apparel. She's a member here on YT but I forget her YT name Her work is done really well! Other than that, I have not really ordered anything customized for him just cause he wasn't full grown but we are pretty confident that he isn't going to get any bigger now so I really hope to get him some cute personalized items from the different vendors here! 3. What kind of treats does your pup prefer? We give him Caesar Softies Treats, Teenie Greenies, Wellness Puppy Treats, and Yorkie Yummies made by a member here at YT. Geno aboslutely LOVESSSS bully sticks from bestbullysticks.com. Personally I get them from Amazon (Amazon.com: Best Bully Stick - 5 ct. Bully Sticks... ) not sure if the link will work...they are still from bestbullysticks but have free shipping and seem to be cheaper. 4. Pup's Nickname? Gigi; Genie; Baby G 5. Shipping preference? USPS or Fedex...I don't really like to deal with UPS but if you find it the cheapest then that's fine. I don't want to inconvience anyone. I would prefer not having a signature required just cause I am usually at work when they deliver but if it makes you feel more comfortable with one than use it. I always have items left on my porch without a problem. 6. Any one special item you really really would like? So many things but obviously do not feel obligated. I would love a blue or green buddy belt for him, customized personalized tops/harnesses, and a Cha-Cha basket. 7. Do you have a sports team that you love? PITTSBURGH STEELERS & PITTSBURGH PENGUINS! 8. Leash? Collar? Harness? We use a 4' leash, might actually be shorter than that since we have knots in it. Geno does not wear a collar but he does use a harness. He only has one harness that he has had since he was a little baby and it has grown with him. It was incredibly hard finding a harness for him back when he was so little! 9. Bed? Geno has like 10 beds - 4 are currently in my living room right now including his Cloud 9 bed lol 10. Toys? Geno loves playing with toys. He loves squeaker toys. He currently has all the Kong Squeakers and loves those. He will chew on latex but he prefers stuffless squeakers...and well mommy prefers the stuffless too since Geno has already destroyed 2 stuffed toys lol 11. Personalized items? Geno only has a personalized blanket and a personalized towel so definitely a yes to personalized items Information about mom 12. Favorite scents? anything sweet smelling - vanilla, cotton candy, cinnamon bun...like someone else said - bakery scents - mmmm 13. Coffee/tea/wine? coffee - mmm starbucks coffee. I don't drink tea and rarely ever drink wine. 14. Candy? twix, sour patch kids, anything sour...i do not like peanut butter or dark/white chocolate. I also do not like nuts. Other than that, everything else is fair game. 15. Anything else you can think of for mom or pup? Just have fun! I am not expecting to get everything I have listed here so don't feel like you are obligated. Geno and I will seriously love anything! Your dog's lock of hair in a plastic bag...yep we'll love it....your dogs recent fecal sample...yep we'll love it...your dog's eye boogies in a jar...yep still loving it!

| 1. What type of shampoo/conditioner/detangler do you use? We have been using Minksheen and we really like it and we’ve used Yorkie Splash and Shine with great results too. 2. Who have you purchased clothes from in the past that knows your pups perfect fit? Normarae63, Tbumpkins, and Fairytails Fashions all have made clothes for us that we LOVE!Mylee does not like Velcro, so t-shirts and t-shirt dresses are great. Mylee is a little longer bodied. 3. What kind of treats does your pup prefer? We try to stay healthy and natural. Bully Sticks, Himalayan Chews, Texas Toothpicks, and Natural Balance Limited Ingredient Treats are all great. 4. Pup's Nickname? Mylee is pretty much what we call her. 5. Shipping preference? Whatever is easiest for you. No signature is necessary here. 6. Any one special item you really really would like? We don’t have any real “wants” but some ideas are: We also use the T.bumpkins washable pee pads and can always use more. Mylee has a problem with watery eyes and always has tear stains. A face wash or tear stain product would be awesome! I don’t know what to use so I have not bought any but would love to find something in that area for her, so I am open to anything to help her with that. We’ve been eyeing AllDogBoot’s pink sneakers or sandals. They look stylish for our walks. We’d also like a personalized tag sometime. 7. Do you have a sports team that you love? Kansas Jayhaws or Dallas Cowboys 8. Leash? Collar? Harness? We have leashes, and harnesses, but Mylee needs a break away collar for her tags. Her Buddy Belt is Hot Pink. 9. Bed? Mylee follows me to whatever room I am in, so we can always use a new bed. She is not particular, she’ll sleep on anything. 10. Toys? Love love loves plush squeaky toys. I’m sure she’d like to find a soft ball, non laytex, about as big as a tennis ball but softer. She like to fetch, but doesn’t like the texture of laytex or harder plastics/rubber. 11. Personalized items? See above. Information about mom. Please don’t feel obligated to purchase anything for me. 12. Favorite scents? I Don’t really burn candles, but love the new Bath and Body Works scents and foaming hand soaps. 13. Coffee/tea/wine? Sonic’s Diet Vanilla Coke 14. Candy? Anything with caramel 15. Anything else you can think of for mom or pup? Mylee is super easy to please and most importantly, we want you to have fun!
