Here’s a whole collection of fabulous MORKIE MOM GIFTS – the perfect gifts for dog lovers on your list!
Perfect gifts for dog lovers
It’s almost Halloween and if you’re like 29 million other Americans, you’re planning to dress up your pet. According to the National Retail Federation, those pet costumes will cost consumers $490 million. That’s about double what people spent on costumes for their pets in 2010, just 9 years ago.
If you want to be part of the excitement but don’t have a costume yet, here are some low budget, last-minute ideas to make a Halloween costume for your Morkie.
There are two ways to do this. The first is super easy but it won’t last long.
Cut out the middle, soft part of a piece of bread, just big enough for your Morkie’s face to come through. Ta-da! That’s it.
Turn your Morkie into a “Purebred Wonder Morkie” with this easy-to-make costume.
You’ll need:
This costume is beautifully made with fabric, but you can repurpose a plain old Wonderbread wrapper to make a quick version.
Get an empty Wonder Bread wrapper and cut it lengthwise along the bottom. Lay it out flat on a table, and cut some white Bristol board (lightweight) to fit, leaving about 3” of bread wrapper at end, with no Bristol board.
The beautiful Wonder Bread costume picture abo0ve features square off ends like a real loaf of bread, but we’re just going to leave some extra bag and tie it off.
Now fold the wrapper/board so that the loaf is squared up on your Morkie. If your dog is really small, cut the Bristol board smaller, leaving more bag at each end.
To finish your costume, just use the string or ribbon to tie off each end. This version doesn’t use the white Bristol board liner, but I think it looks better white.
Simply cut a piece of white fabric to fit around your Morkie (don’t leave anything trailing), and cut out eye holes. You’ll probably need to keep it in place with white ribbon, one piece tied around the body and one tied around the neck.
You just need lots of aluminum foil and a name strip for “Hershey’s”
Be sure to leave your Morkie’s legs and feet outside the foil so he can walk.
Need a quick template for the paper strip that says KISSES? Here’s one to print yourself.
I LOVE this one and it’s so simple. All you need is lots of Tulle (netting fabric) in blue or any other color that strikes you, and a piece of white rope.
Run a heavy thread along the long end of the Tulle fabric, then pull it tight to gather the fabric and make it curly. Fasten the thread off then wrap the fabric around your Morkie. Anchor a piece of white rope in the middle with a safety pin.
Draw a watch face yourself on the back of a paper plate, add a big wide watchband and then attach an elastic and put it around your Morkie. Or download a cool-looking watch face from the web and print it out. Mount on light card and attach it to your Morkie with a band.
No time? Print this Morkie Time watch face.
You’ll need some felt, in red, black and white to make the ears and the beautiful bow. Add some netting, gathered into a skirt for the final touch.
Here are some specific recommendations: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tLJYxP4HdRI
Gold pipe cleaners are perfect for making a halo; use red felt to cut out devil’s horns.
Attach with elastic.
Make a collar out of a strip of brown felt, measured to your Morkie’s neck plus 4″.
Then glue loops of felt in different browns, to the collar with a hot glue gun.
Glue on some velcro to close the collar once it’s on your little king or queen.

Pipe cleaners make good geeky glasses here (don’t forget the lightning bolt) and a necktie or orange and brown scarf add up to the perfect little Harry Potter.

Halloween isn’t far off so it’s time to think about dog Halloween costumes for your Morkie. Did you know that 29 million pet lovers will dress their fur-babies up this Halloween according to the National Retail Federation?
From Ewoks to the latest DC comic characters, dogs costumes run the full range.
The top three dog Halloween costumes for 2019 are:
After these, popular costumes include the Bumble Bee, Lion, Devil, and Shark.
Dogs dressed as cats, and cats dressed as dogs are also popular in multi-pet households.
CNN recently picked the ‘best’ dog costumes for 2019 and they included a BACON COSTUME for dogs, matching dog and cat TACO COSTUMES, the PUPPY LATTE costume and the UPS DELIVERY DOG.
It’s not nearly as bad as chocolate or candies with nuts, but candy corn is just too much sugar for your little Morkie.
Over 35 million pounds of Candy Corn is made every year for Halloween int he United States but it’s no longer the #1 favorite candy.
That honor goes to M&Ms, overwhelming favorite Halloween candy in 2019. M&Ms get out last year’s #1, Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups, KitKat (#3) and Snickers #4.
Candy corn has plummeted to #5 in popularity.
Candy corn is made from sugar, corn syrup, confectioner’s glazes, salt, dextrose, gelatine, sesame oil, artificial flavor, honey, yellow 6, yellow 5 and red 3. It also contains gelatin.
Dog stress is real on Halloween. If your Morkie doesn’t want to wear a costume, then let him off the hook. Some dogs don’t mind at all but others are anxious and annoyed.
Keep your Morkie safe from dashing out the door when it rings… and rings… and rings. Like July 4th fireworks, Halloween activities can scare dogs and make them run away. The constant door opening is a temptation that’s just too much for some dogs, so keep them safely away from the front door on Halloween.
Chocolate is always a big no-no for dogs. Small dogs are at higher danger because of their size. Chocolate is made with caffeine, bad for dogs and their hearts, but theobromine in chocolate is the real culprit. We can metabolize it quickly but dogs can’t so it can quickly build to toxic levels in a dog’s system. Just half an ounce of dark chocolate can be enough to KILL YOUR MORKIE!
If your Morkie gets over-excited at Halloween, the result can be vomiting, diarrhea, submissive urination or even aggression. Keep your Morkie calm – and safe.
Looking for something different to do with your Morkie? Here are 12 ideas to keep you busy on these hot summer days!
1. Take some great doggy pix
2. Make pupsicles
3. Go for a boat ride
4. Do some urban exploring
5. Soft frisbee
6. Dog training lite
7. Swimming
8. Include your Morkie in a wedding
9. Spa Day for Two
10. Go for a long run
11. Stay at a dog-friendly B&B
12. Visit a LUXE doggy store
When you have some time on your hands, that’s when you can get a GREAT photo of your Morkie. Here are some hints to help you capture the real essence of your Morkie:

Your Morkie will appreciate a frosty cold treat this summer. For frozen yogurt, simply fill an ice cube tray with plain yogurt and pop one out for your Morkie’s dish. (Use a special tray for tiny cubes; they’ll fit your Morkie better.) To make them tastier, mash a ripe banana into the yogurt before freezing.
You can do the same with beef or chicken broth. When the broth is half frozen, drop a crunchy treat into each cube for extra fun.
You might give your Morkie some licks from a cone, but generally, dogs don’t digest milk well, and the sugar isn’t good so keep this treat for VERY special occasions.
Ingredients:
2 cups cooked meat
¾ cup plain low-fat yogurt
A little bit of finely chopped parsley
1 cooked and mashed carrot
3 tablespoons olive oil
Directions:
Combine all ingredients in a large mixing bowl.
Spoon mixture into ice cube trays and place in freezer until hard.
The versatility of this recipe makes it a great option for when your pantry’s running low and you don’t feel like going to the store. Carrots and parsley can be replaced with peanut butter, and the meat can come from your leftover dinner.
Know someone with a boat? Catch a ride for you and your Morkie… don’t forget his life jacket. Neither Yorkies nor Maltese can swim well, so your Morkie definitely needs a life jacket.
No boaters in your group? You can always rent a paddleboat, canoe or rowboat at your nearest waterfront park.
Dog strollers might seem silly until you find yourself in a large city or doing tons of walking in the hot weather.
Then they can really come in handy.
Bonus – you can often wheel your Morkie into a shop, bookstore, etc. without objections from the staff because your dog isn’t running all over the store. And, it’s a great way to keep your Morkie safe and happy if you’re visiting a sidewalk cafe.
Check Amazon for a full range of strollers, from bargains to super deluxe.
Dog frisbee isn’t just for the big guys… small dogs can learn to love it too, with a smaller, soft frisbee.
Look for the flying disc made of fabric, with a soft rounded edge to protect your Morkie’s sensitive mouth. The 7″ Chuckit! available on Amazon, is a smaller frisbee that’s soft yet durable.
Check out the smaller, soft dog frisbee on Amazon, from Chuckit!
Do some fun training with your Morkie, or try a Fun Meet in your area. Fun Meets are dog shows that are heavy on fun and light on serious rules. You could win, for example, for the Kissingest Morkie.
For more on training, head over to YouTube and check out “Easy Dog Tricks.”
Since a Morkie’s parents, the Yorkshire Terrier and the Maltese, aren’t known to love water, never force your Morie to take a dip. that said, lots of Morkies do love swimming, so give it a try!
Yours or a friends, nothing glams up wedding pix like a well dressed Morkie!
A nice warm bath and dog massage for your Morkie, and a homemade facial for you… before you know it, it’s SPA Day at home!
Lots of great ideas at SheKnows.com
An estimated 52% of dogs are obese nowadays, so exercise is always a good thing. If possible, find a nice open field that’s fenced it and let your Morkie have a good run. He probably won’t need much encouragement, but if he does, you can always tag along beside him.
Should your Morkie be a running partner for you? Not really. Small dogs don’t have the size to maintain a good pace, and your Morkie may not be strong enough. Plus, they can be prone to slipping knee syndrome (Patella Luxation) so running every day on a leash with you isn’t ideal.
Don’t forget water breaks.
Check out BringFido.com and you’ll find hundreds of fabulous B&Bs that welcome dogs, all around the world. These places are beautiful, and offer a true, all family vacay for you and yours.

Whether it’s Bark & Fitz or Muttropolis, every city has a super posh dog store.
Take your Morkie to one and do some browsing… you’ll find it an eye-opening experience!
From the Swarovski crystal dog bath, at $6,995
To a genuine Louis Vuitton Dog Carrier at $58,000!
Including your dog in your wedding is becoming more and more popular. In fact, lots of us love having a dog ring bearer. Here are some tips to make it all go smoothly.
Besides the popular role of dog ring bearer, here are some other ways you can include your Morkie in your wedding. Naturally, your Morkie should be comfortable around lots of people including kids.
A number of flowers are toxic to dogs, including Lilies and Baby’s Breath. Check the full list here on the ASPCA site.

Harry & Meghan started the ball rolling by asking for donations to their charities instead of gifts.
Set your registry up early. From the moment you announce your engagement, friends and family will want to send you gifts.
Make sure you set up your charitable wedding registry (or any registry) early before guests can start shopping.
Include a card with details about your registry with your wedding invitation. It’s good wedding etiquette not to mention gifts on the invitation itself.
However, you could pop in a separate card with a message about why you are choosing charitable donations instead of gifts and including the URL for your charitable wedding registry. Include it on your wedding website too.
Give options. If your guests would like to give to a charity on your behalf, great! However, it’s good to recognize that some may not, and to give them other options (the same goes with any registry — options are important!).
Another couple, who had their dog in their wedding, were able to raise more than $15,000 for the Humane Society of New York.
Who doesn’t love the dollar store – but are dog toys from the dollar store safe?
Yes and no, depending on the toy and how it’s made. The Food and Drug Administration doesn’t regulate dog toys, and the Consumer Product Safety Commission only regulates pet toys that can be proven to put consumers (people, not dogs) at risk. So when it comes to safety you’re on your own.
Most cheap dog toys are made with rubber from a group of chemicals called Phthalates (pronounced Tha-lates) which increase flexibility and longevity.
Phthalates are everywhere and so is research and articles warning about their health risks. The CDC (Center for Disease Control) recommended they be banned in kid’s products, and a bill was passed in 2014 to restrict their use.
However, products imported from offshore, notably China, aren’t tested especially when they are for pets or general household use. Phthalates are directly linked to:
Target and Walmart have both initiated programs to reduce or eliminate toxic chemicals from their shelves; this effort is still underway. In the meantime, avoid rubbery dog toys from dollar stores.
Cheap rubbery toys, like these squeaky toys, can contain poisonous levels of phthalates, already banned in kids’ toys.
Obviously, dog toys that can be easily chewed apart are not good. Your Morkie could swallow eyes or other small parts and choke on them. Plus stuffing inside could cause intestinal problems, even if it is good quality cotton, which it never is.
Anything with ribbons, separately sewn on eyes, feathers, or small parts should be avoided.
The thin strands in these rope toys are dangerous to your Morkie’s digestive system if swallowed. Think of hairs building up in the shower drain.
Plus they are treated with chemicals that are toxic, including preservatives and dyes.
In a nutshell, Here are the problems with rawhide chew sticks or treats for dogs:
The Humane Society of the United States warns that offshore rawhide chews are probably a product of the illegal international fur trade. How so?
More than 100 million animals are killed for fur use each year, and most come from unregulated fur factory farms. Chemical treatment of the skins of animals to make “rawhide” is extremely harsh and can be deadly.
In countries like Korea and China, DOGS ARE PART OF THE ILLEGAL FUR AND MEAT TRADE. So those rawhide chew sticks COULD BE MADE FROM DOG SKIN.
Plus you are unknowingly supporting a very cruel industry.
There’s another danger with rawhide chews; after they’ve been chewed for a while, you’ll notice they get quite soft and slippery. The pieces can get lodged in your Morkie’s throat and choke him.
Is this little guy one of the victims of the illegal fur trade? If so, his hide could end up as a dog chew stick!
Rawhide is a misnomer since the end products are actually made from a middle layer of animal skin. After the cow, horse, pig or whatever is slaughtered, the top layers of the hide are removed for tanning, to become various grades of leather. The fatty bottom layers are removed and processed into ingredients for cosmetics, paint, cleaning ingredients and more.
The remaining middle layer is treated with several caustic baths to remove hair and any blemishes. Then it is bleached again, to make it pure white. After this, the layer of skin is painted and treated with preservative chemicals, then glued and rolled together into chewsticks or other shapes, to be sold to unsuspecting pet owners.
Despite all this processing, chew treats are a serious risk for Salmonella and e-Coli contamination.
Any toy smaller than a ping pong ball is a serious choking hazard.
I’ll never forget the story about Oprah; one of her beloved Golden Retrievers died right in front of her and the trainer after a tennis ball got lodged in his windpipe. Despite the animal professional nearby, it would not be dislodged.
It’s not likely a Morkie will be attracted t a tennis ball, but you never know.
This old toy has seen enough use!
Check the label and see if the toy is rated as safe for children under 3 years old. Chances are this designation won’t be there. Cheap plush toys are easily torn apart, and dogs will eat bits of the plush fabric and stuffing. Sometimes this stuffing is plastic beads, another high-risk product.
If your Morkie has started to rip up the toy, it’s time to throw it out.
Ethically-made toys are few and far between and it’s hard to find them. However, there are some. And there are alternatives for your Mokrie:
Unfortunately for dogs and owners, manufacturing of pet toys relies on the honor system; for less scrupulous companies, it’s trial by error.
Should dogs like Morkies wear clothes? Do they need clothes? Yes and no… read on!
If it’s cold outside, then small dogs and dogs with hair instead of fur, do need a coat or sweater. The Morkie is both, small and blessed with hair, not fur. (It’s why they don’t shed.)
Little dogs need protective clothing when the weather gets cold; a sweater or coat works well for small breed and for breeds with very short hair, such as an Italian Greyhound.
Greyhounds are big dogs – weighing in at about 80 pounds, but you wouldn’t send this guy out in a Canadian winter without a coat.
Dogs with lots of FUR don’t need help staying warm.
Their two layers of fur – one undercoat of fluffy softness and a top coat of heavy guard hairs – work together to form a thermal layer.
Dogs with hair don’t have that advantage, and probably need a coat in cold weather whether they’re big dogs or small.
Little dogs – and any size dog that has with hair, not fur – all need protection.
In cold weather, all dogs need to wear a winter coat or heavy sweater.
F
Dogs with fur have a double coat, so they don’t need anything else to stay warm.
Big dogs don’t need a sweater or coat.
F
Some big dogs don’t have enough fur to keep warm.
In cold weather, all small dogs need a winter coat.
T
A sweater or coat is always a good idea for a small dog in cold weather
Dogs will get used to wearing clothes if you train them.
F
If your dog seems uncomfortable in clothes, NEVER force him to wear them
Clothes should fit snug on a dog, so they don’t fall off.
F
Snug clothes can make hair or fur mat and aren’t comfortable for the dog
Wearing clothes could harm your dog.
T
Being forced into clothes can make your dog anxious and aggressive.
In heavy rains, a raincoat or slickers can come in handy to keep your Morkie a little drier.
And with harmful rays on our minds today, you can get specially treated clothes that offer UV protection, so your dog’s skin doesn’t get sunburned.
And a regular tshirt or top can help protect against insect bites in summer, or allergies.
Ralph Lauren Dog Raincoat for the pup who has everything.
Overheating in warm weather can be deadly for your dog; and the sun can also do serious burn damage, especially if you get your pup trimmed or shaved down. Sun protective clothing makes real sense in today’s warm world. More at Amazon.

Tailgating parties call for your team’s sport shirt, am I right?
And what about holidays like the 4th of July or Christmas? Don’t they call for a cute outfit?
A pet cam can be a good purchase if you’re away from home a lot. A two-way audio connection will help your dog adjust, and may help relieve his canine separation anxiety.
Plus with a pet cam, you can keep an eye on him and see if he’s misbehaving. But to correct him, you’ll have to catch him in the act, or he won’t know why he’s being scolded.
Here are some of the most common features in a pet cam. Like anything else, the more features, the more expensive the unit will be.
To monitor your Morkie, you can pick a specific PET CAM, a household security camera or make pet monitoring part of a home-wide system, such as NEST.
Furbo and Petcube are two of the most popular brands in pet cams. (They have been updated, so be sure to look for the latest version, or get an earlier version at a discount.)
There are other manufacturers who make a good pet cam too. At about $40, cheaper models don’t have treat tossing; they’re more for your own viewing fun. Furbo is a treat tosser plus, while PetCube has some other advantages, but no treat tossing.
For the ULTIMATE in pet cams, or should we say, pet nannies, check out the PetChatz HD unit at the bottom. Wow!
This pet cam (Version 2) has good picture quality (1080p HD) and Night Vision
This home security camera has excellent HD picture quality and Infrared Night Vision

Once you get an alert, you can open the app to check in on your dog and see what’s going on.
In some cases, the Furbo has literally saved a dog’s life, by making pet parents aware of a fire in the home, a break-in or a choking pet.

Got a cold room in your home?
Try one of these – a Warmstore Pet Heating Pad.
One of my friends has this mat for her Morkie and Frenchie, and it is great! Clear plastic, you can hardly notice it…. she runs it across the room opening for her dining room and neither dog ventures in. It’s completely safe, and operates on a low-voltage battery-operated system.
Use it on the floor, on furniture, a the top of stairs -whatever is off limits for your pets.
There are several sizes to choose from.
The pet training mat can help you train your pet to stay away from some areas, such as sofa, bed, chair, baby activity area, kitchen counter, furniture and other areas that you want to protect.
