Today i finally got around to doing some belated Spring Cleaning. Along with the usual i decided to gather up unwanted clothes and nick nacks to give to a couple of the local churches now that they are in full Jumble/Rummage Sale Season. My hubby quipped that i should donate some of our Dog's old clothes. Dogs-Old Clothes, the two didn't go together in my mind. To appease him i decided to look through my Dog's Dresser (yes, i have a three drawer dresser in my closet that is just for the dog's clothes). After going through everything i was shocked at what i found. In the just over 5yrs since i got my first dog this is what i have accumulated (you may want to avert young childrens eyes if necessary as this is disgusting!):
23 Coats
6 Body Warmers
3 Rain Slickers
3 Velour Tracksuit Style Sweaters
14 Sets of Booties (half of which are Pink and sparkly, what the hell was i thinking?)
31 Sweaters
17 T-shirts
3 Dog Pyjamas
22 Bandana's
8 Halloween Costumes
4 Santa Hats
3 Sets of Antlers (on a headband contraption)
3 Sets of Red Ankle Scrunchy looking things with Jingly Bells on.
3 Princess Birthday Hats
29 Collars with matching Leashes
6 Harnesses with matching Leashes
8 Retractable Leashes
This list doesn't include all the toys, dog beds, Cute doggie diapers with detachable skirts, pet carrier handbags, blankets, accessories (cute little tags for their collars etc)
So, i realised i am probably certifiable. After feeling ashamed of myself for half an hour and showing my hubby all the crap i've accumulated over the years for my spoiled dogs i put half of it aside to donate.
Now, in my defense, i have no kids. My dogs fill that requirement in me. And it would seem i dress them up like miniture doggie barbies in my spare time.
Am i alone in my insanity? Anyone else got a problem keeping their credit card in their purse when faced with the temptation of a Pet Store? I'd love to know.
My Babies. Maggie, Trudy and Ginny.
Hope everyone is having a good weekend!
