Dishes For Cali (AKA China) - YorkieTalk.com Forums

JCarlson2004 · 07-06-2006, 11:31 AM

Kathryn told me that Cali (who I just LOVE to pieces) will need to eat out of cat dishes because she's soooooo tiny (and ADORABLE and cute and pretty and beautiful and mine mine mine all MIIIIIIIIIIINE!!)

I just love her to pieces!! So I'm thinking of getting this cute cat dish for her (she's soooo adorable and cute!!):

I'll get it in the PINK color -- it's so cute! It says Princess on the bottom! My only concern is that it doesn't look big enough to hold water and she won't be able to reach Codie and Tia's water bowl to drink out of it. And also, what if Codie and Tia drink out of Cali's water bowl ... she'll have no water left for her little itty bitty cutie bootie self! Maybe I should get her a water bottle and figure out a way to have it hang (on some sort of contraption LOL) next to her cute little cat dish. What do you guys think?

PS -- Did I mention that Cali is just soooo adorable and that I love her to pieces yet?

Well I do!!

OH Jen, I can tell you are already besotted to her . . . and you don't even have her . . .

I can just imagine when she does finally come home.

You are like Kalina82 (Kellie) so super excited she's been buying so many stuff for her . . . there's something about girls that you just want to overspend

Well. . . why NOT . . Cali is just way TOOO CUUUUUTTTEEEE!

Both of my babies use a water bottle... I love it cause they are never all wet looking. They love it too. Didnt take no time for them to catch on.

Those bowls are absolutely adorable!!!!!!!!! How can you NOT get her the "Princess" one?! If your others drink out of it, just fill it back up. Or what I do is keep my baby's water dish in her crate so my older yorkie can't get to it.

My concern is what if I am not home and they drink out of Cali's bowl and empty it -- she will be without water until I return home. What if I am stuck in traffic and gone for 5 hours??!!??!!

That's what I am worried about.

could you get one of those replenishing water dishes.. like these http://www.mightypets.com/subcat.asp?0=458 once she gets a little bit bigger maybe?

Are you going to let her have free run of the house right away when you get her? Would you be crating her (or confining her away from your other dogs) while you are at work? (Even little yorkies may play a little too rough for her at first if you aren't there to supervise). If you were to confine her, at least until she's a little bit bigger and can hold her own with the other dogs, then you could keep her dish of water separate from the other dogs.

I don't want to bum you out - check with your vet on allergies and dishes ...some ceramic/porcelain dishes can cause allergies - which is why we mostly use stainless steel -

Those are really super cute and I sure don't blame you for wanting one - but read up on the material the dish is made of before you buy and then research to see if it's going to be ok for that tiny girl

Good point! I use to use stainless steel dishes but I switched to cermaic and I haven't had any problems as of yet. But since she's so tiny, I'll definitely ask my vet what he thinks is safer to use. Thanks V.
