Gayle. Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 I'm afraid to think about it really... off the top of my head I have the following but there is probably a whole arsenal stuffed away I have forgotten about... 2 x pocket clippers 1 x oster clippers 5 x blades 2 x pin brushes 1 x bristle brush 3 x combs 2 x slicker various bands, hair ties and clips 6 x dog coats 15 x leads 6 x shampoos 3 x conditioners 2 x grooming powder 1 x shine spray 3 x leave in conditioner 1 x nail clippers 1 x band scissors 2 x grooming scissors 5 x dog bowls 2 x travel bowls 7 x arm bands 2 x grooming box 2647839723619 x toys 1 x trolley 2 x pet pack 1 x collapsible crate For dog shows: 1 x gazebo 2 x floor mats 4 x camp chairs 2 x travel esky 1 x portable kettle 1 x portable cooktop 28971982748974 x show jackets You know the sad part.... I show a single hairless chinese crested That reminds me of a day I was sitting at a dog show, waiting for group 5 to finish. I was watching the people around me get their dogs ready and a lady with a whippet set up right across from me. I thought how awesome that would be.....starts with W and hardly needs any grooming so you could get there near the end of the show (no getting up at 4am like I do), pop a pretty lead on the dog, and go in the ring without any bother. Hahaha....wasn't I wrong! She took a full two hours and a HUGE grooming arsenal to prepare this dog....it was brushed, combed, polished, rubbed, smoothed down, wiped over, powdered, sprayed, greased, polished some more, whiskers trimmed, toenails clipped, ears wiped out....and at the end of it, the dog looked exactly the same as when she'd started. But I was quite thoroughly entertained the whole time! LOL! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RiverStar-Aura Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 I deliberately don't have a 'dog cupboard' so my dog stuff is in small bunches all over the house and car, that way OH won't realise the full extent of it either LMAO love it Amps! still wondering how I ended up with 17 collars LOL Don't feel too bad Huski. I swear each of my two dogs has a different collar for every day of the year! Every time I go into Pet Barn to pick up either cat or dog food I come out with an armful of new collars and leads.

Andisa Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 (edited) I have no idea just what I have and if I was to gather everything all together I am sure I would never understand just where it all came from - add over 10 yrs of dog grooming and that is a lot of dog gear.. eta: because I have large and small breeds I have everything to suit size - doubling up on lots of things.

Vehs Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 Dieter used to have a bath and fragrance collection to rival my own, but we really culled it back last year and now he's using human QV stuff to get his 'itchies' under control.... but I actually think the 'itchies' he has were stress related/attention seeking = he hasn't itched ONCE since having his friend here I have a laundry cupboard full of his and my professional grooming gear along with assorted training tools - and he also has the bottom section of the pantry for all his treats and bowls. But unlike my human stuff he actually uses his all the time, but don't get me started on his toys! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not quite that bad, my grooming is mostly done from home, just a quick spritz of aloe vera to shine the skin and a fluff with the slicker brush and we're good to go!

Guest Clover Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 (edited) Ok just did another clean out and was pretty ruthless, i'm not keeping anything i dont actually use . I came up with another overflowing green bag worth of leads, collars, harnesses and various other stuff. A lot that has never been used. I see a garage sale coming on.

Camping is just not cutting it anymore, The caravan is an old one we did up...hubby made a crate in the double bed area and we put the bed on top. newfie height....We will also be making an outside door. the dogs love it. And whilst the car gets hot, the caravan stays cool. We also put strong mesh over the mozzie screen in the door of the main area, so it can be left open and the crate has one window with secure mesh over the mozzie screen...it's all about the dogs Financially it was really cheap, because hubby is very handy and we have had so much fun out of it. we go everywhere and just stop, eat and sleep.....No setting up at all. I do a lot with the Drafting, last event was at Dogs day out at KCC park. Annabelle is very good off lead and loves it. and we "show off" our water work here a lot at Lake Hume...We are still perfecting the water Rescue with the current dogs, especially Katy. one of my previous newfies, Abbey was amazing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I am simply hopeless at building anything that remains built!! It needed to be gutted which would have suited me fine- it was something about the wheels that I thought was beyond me. Is it sad that I have almost decided on how I want the caravan set up, even though I won't be able to afford one for another few years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sas Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 I don't look Just a suggestion, don't throw it out donate it to a rescue group or pound. Oh good idea Sway! I will have a look through what is in the throw away pile to see what is worth saving. Yea, I've been meaning to see if the local RSPCA shelter here will want all my old dog/cat stuff. I have tons of stuff to give away. I think the thing I hoard the most (other than toys) would be brushes. I have about 10 dog brushes Your smaller All Breeds and Breed Specific shelters would be grateful, they don't recieve the funding the RSPCA do.

Dxenion Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 Is it sad that I have almost decided on how I want the caravan set up, even though I won't be able to afford one for another few years Not sad at all. We have been looking at caravans, camper trailers, pop top campers and even horse floats for a while now trying to find a floor plan that would best suit four large dog crates. I wish there was a company that made a dog trailer/ camper combination under 20K. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish there was a company that made a dog trailer/ camper combination under 20K. Wow, we bought ours for 3K.....gutted part of it, put in the crate and bed and some new cupboard, adjusted the dinette and put in security screens on the door and crates window. All for less then 1K. And we love it. Ours is only 14' long and 7' wide, which makes it a dream to tow and park. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
