Does this ever stop? - YorkieTalk.com Forums

I was wondering does this ever stop. Tonight I had a long evening at work, so I went and bought a bottle of wine when I got off of work, along with a box of white cheddar cheese its (Ethan loves those) and a chew bone for Ethan. Once the wine chilled I realized, I left my wine tool at my mother’s house because we had dinner there Sunday, so I go to Wal-Mart ONLY for a wine tool; I leave with a wine tool, doggie bed, doggie turkey jerky, and doggie tie. I find myself migrating to the pet section any time I go to a store that I think may have one no matter how big or small it may be; and sometimes I spend more time there than I do doing whatever I originally set out to do. Does this ever stop?

Hehe, no, it doesn't change.

Whenever I am on the internet, I browse my favourite online store and I know every pet shop in a 5 mile radius of wherever I am. I always browse the pet aisle in shops to see if they got anything new.

I have accounts at most pet stores and vet stores

Good luck with that!

Ps. I can't even stop shopping for new doggies!! I read all the classifieds I can get my hands on.

Nope... I'm the same way. I am always looking for the next thing for Couver. My DH is starting to get upset

TeresaM · 04-03-2009, 05:20 AM

I often plan my errands around what pet store or boutique is in that area.

I can't remember the last time I bought myself a new dress...I bought Gracie Ruth the cutest one for Easter, just last week.

I'm not just a shopaholic...I'm a Doggie Shopaholic.

Nope it doesn't... you have a new love and you'll ALWAYS be thinking of him and looking for things for him! I once bought my boys Patriots Jerseys for $40 bc we are a Pats household and they were too cute!

My boys don't even LIKE to wear clothes! LOL I buy bones, treats, and toys almost everywhere I go! LOL

Ivy Lucille · 04-03-2009, 05:50 AM

Um, nope!

LunasMomma · 04-03-2009, 06:04 AM

It only stops if/when you run out of money

roxies_mom · 04-03-2009, 06:07 AM

Same for me. Always looking at the pet things. Sometimes nothing new but always something I really would like to have for her!

Gigi485 · 04-03-2009, 06:10 AM

DH and I usually go out to dinner every Saturday night....that is until I started spending our Sat. nite dinner money on Sully. I go to the store to "pick up" wee wee pads and end up spending money on toys, treats, shirts, etc and end up spending $50 to $60 bucks! ...it's insane.

Today on my lunch hour I have to go to Petco and pick up some food. I promised DH that I wpuld not buy anything else so that we can go out to dinner instead.

Wish me luck!
