A waste of money...

..... two lovely donut beds that don't wash successfully. they are now in the shed awaiting transport to the local tip. back to duvets !

food.... finding the right stuff that they liked and didn't go straight thru - finally found some really cheap greyhound kibble that is perfect for them all.

lots of toys that they don't play with and some nice fluffy toys that the boys tear apart - have sewn up pink piggy loads of times because that's Daisy's favourite!

two cheap coats that didn't fit properly and are no longer worn. ordered proper ones from a nice lady up north (note to self: must get one for Tom).

there must be more out there !

Plastic dog bed that Wills rarely used - passed on to brother but his dog didn't use it either - passed on to Gran's dog but he doesn't use it either.

Jackets for Wills & Millie that kept unfastening and falling off (usually in the most inconvenient places where we had to slog through ankle deep mud or crawl under low branches to retrieve them).

Toys that last approximately 30 seconds. Like you Teresa, I've sewn up umpteen cuddly toys that the dogs seem to favour.

Oh my god where do i start....

Millie has at least 5 collars - why when she only needs one?

Several dog beds from the market for £3 each but all have to be chucked out as dont fit in the washing machine.

Tried loads of foods - bought several cheap foods to see if they would do, but didnt agree with dogs so ended up getting chucked out - waste of money.

I had 3 plastic beds which i bought ages ago then when i moved house chucked them out, now looking to buy more as Eva and Toby like them!

The mongrels have had loads and loads of collars and leads over the years, they are never on leads so they sit wasted. Only buy them coz they look pretty!

But i love them so much so they are worth it

I have been really lucky (or very sneaky!!)...before Neo arrived i had trawled just about every topic on the forum and everyone's experiences probably saved me a fortune in mistakes

Started with duvets instead of dog beds, got proper coats from sites other people had used and the same with collars etc although they do have a lot more than they actually need!! The only one who has really lost out is my wee boy, i've lost count of how many of his cuddly toys that have been shredded in seconds.

Isla · Enlightened One

Oh dear Gail. I can just picture it!

Bedtimes must be a minefield when your wee lad is looking for his teddy bear or whatever the current favourite was. Hope he's a forgiving child!

we Havent been too bad either. 4 muzzles, 3 collars and quite a few toys. All the duvets and beds and cushions have went down well.

Sally has a thing for chewing leather - hence the muzzles and collars.....

Good to know I'm not the only one!

I have got loads of collars, so much so i had to buy a wall hanging storage bucket thing from Ikea to put them in, and i've just bought another 2 off kitsch collars. I am such a mug!
