[Blue_Frog]

I recieved my gift swap box too and all of us love everything you sent blue frog. I haven't been able to take pictures yet, actually , my friends computer that i usually use isn't working so it might be a few days before I get them posted. thanks again for everything!!!!!
Melissa
Yay! :D I'm glad that everything got there ok -- the catnip in the home made things is some of the organic stuff that i cultivated, and is extra niffy -- i tried to pack it up well :) Looking forward to pics later!

[kimboe]

Hmm....My package should have arrived on Tuesday. But, no word yet...... :confused: Hope it got there!

[ramanth]

Hey Kim! Where are my pictures of Camen, Babe, and Meu Meu!? ;) :p :D

[Karen]

Karen, I am glad that it all came in one piece. I hope that you like your stuff, and that Miss Hoppy likes her stuff....AND do you how long and hard I looked and searched for "yummy sticks" thinking they were an actual item? lol Store after store, I even searched online, and then Melissa helped. I was so confused! :p

Sorry about that - the yummy sticks are only provided by Grandpa! Somehow he knows - okay, 76 years of experience, and he had bunnies when he was a little boy ... enable him to find the really yummy sticks.

We're hoping for a sunny day to take pictures with a certain spokemodel ... so I haven't let her have any of the treats quite yet ... but I am sure she will love them!

[petslover]

I can't wait until ours come in. I have been excited all week about it. :)

[Catty1]

Oh do I feel DUMB! :D

Mom and I went out for groceries - she is such a great help to me right now! - and I went to get my mail on the way to the car.

There was a post office notice that I had a parcel to pick up.

So we went there - Mom waited in the car. The clerk brought out a parcel - she said it was 12 lbs, a bit over my lifting limit, so the dear gal carried to Mom's car for me! :)

I noted the name, and even on the way home from the grocery store....Mom left, and I was PMing to Karen....all the time wondering in my head, "Karen Watts....Mass....hmmm.....Karen...this is really embarrassing, I can't remember her screen name...hmmmm...."

Then halfway thru the PM it hit me! KAREN! THIS KAREN!!! MODERATOR KAREN!

SHEEEEESH! :rolleyes:

So I will post pics when I get fresh batteries in my camera and open the box! :D

I AM a brunette....REALLY..... :p

THANKS, KAREN!

Maybe it's running late?

[Cincy'sMom]

We got ours today! Thank you Shelteez2!! The sogs had a blast opening the package and LOVED everything inside!

Pictures/video coming soon!

I have to tell you, our poor mail lady was NOT happy about having to deliver the package...she does NOT like dogs at all!! She seems hesitant to walk across the driveway when our 3 in inside their fence, and I outside with them.

Thismorning, I see her standing on the proch with a box, so I open the door. She says, can you put your dogs away, I don't want them jumping through the screen at me. Mind you we have a HEAVY screen door, glass on the bottom, screen does start until about 4 feet up. I said what? She said I don't want them coming at me. So I try to step out so I can shut the big door, but she is holding the screen closed.

I said they'll be fine and asked all 3 to sit, which they did, and didn't move. So she is just standing there, not saying anything. I'm ready to shut the door, let her finish what she is doing and walk away, cause she obviously doesn't want me opening the door and taking the package from her...or so I think. After a minute she says, I need you to sign this. Oh, sorry, I didn't know what you were doing. So I open the door, (not a dog moved), go out sign and take the package in. And not one of the dogs busted through the door and attacked her!

I know I should be more understanding...she probablly had a very traumatic experience with dogs, and I'm sure delivering mail she has probablly dealt with some poorly trained animals, but come on...3 dogs sitting potilety at the door, smiling, wagging their tails? Maybe they will help her just a bit to not assume every dog will eat her!

[ramanth]

Can't wait for photos! Sorry your mail lady is afraid of dogs. We're lucky that our local mail deliverer's and UPS guy love dogs. Chipper gave the UPS man tons of kisses.

Cincy knows and loves the UPS guy!! If I am home when the truck comes (and let her), she goes out the front door and waits on the sidewalk cause she knows she will get a treat!!

[Maya & Inka's mommy]

YIPPIE!!!! We got our swap box today!! Thank you so much Catty!!! I will post pics in a thread tomorrow :)

[petslover]

Yay! I am so thrilled. Today, I got a big box of goodies from Amanda!! Thanks so much. You spoiled us! Pictures will come this week! :)

[CathyBogart]

gemini, did you get it yet??

[dukedogsmom]

Hey Cathy, got any pics yet?

[CathyBogart]

Taken, uploaded to my computer, but I still can't get the $(%#!%$ thing online. :)

[gemini9961]

Nope, nothing yet Cathy. Perhaps it will be there this afternoon. :)

[Kater]

I'm pretty suprised that my person has not received her package yet...
I'll have to try tracking it online when I get home.

ETA: All I've learned is that it left the U.S. (via Los Angeles) on June 1st. Hmm.

[DogLover9501]

Mine was sent since the deadline, but I haven't heard from my person, and have no way to contact them.

[Jods]

hmmm my person still hasn't posted that they have recieved :confused: Soon I hope!

[Husky_mom]

just for info for my sender as I have been seeing a few that have a concern about their package still not being received......

to whomever sent to me: our mailing system is way slow it may take from 3-4 or even more weeks to be delivered......so don´t panic..... the one I sent I´m hoping to be received within next week *crossing fingers*......

I will let you know when I receive yours......don´t worry..... ;)

[ShylanHal]

I haven't heard from Fur&Feathers since a week before the swap ended... I sent my parcel around then, and I still don't know if she's gotten it.
Does anyone know what's happened to her?
I wanna know if she'd gotten my package... I haven't heard from her since, and it's been months, so I can only THINK that she's gotten it... I hope she did. Or else some other random person in the world just got really lucky and spoiled. :( :eek: :confused:

[Jods]

dr.goodnow just Pm'd me and sais she got it!!

[DrKym]

Again Jods I do so apologise for my health and the confusion!

Everything you sent was so thoughtful and so appreciated! I cannot thank you enough for your patience.

Kym

[CathyBogart]

Is this done? I'm keeping the tourist swap in mind...

[Kfamr]

dr.goodnow just Pm'd me and sais she got it!!


Whew, Glad that mess is over with!




Cathy, We're still waiting to hear from people and get it sorted out. Some people really screwed this round up. :mad: :(

[CathyBogart]

That sucks. Let me know if you need backup gifts. :)

[Catty1]

ShylanHal - have you PM'd Fur&Feathers?

I hope she's ok!

[ShylanHal]

I PM'd her in June, asking if she could tell me if she'd gotten them.
So far nothing...

Does anyone have any idea what's going on??

I don't think she's even been on here since June or so....

[ShylanHal]

She may have been on but she obviously didn't check her PMs, she hasn't read the one I sent from July, much less replied. :(

[Catty1]

Can you email her? If she has disallowed emails here, maybe Karen can contact her for you.

[Blue_Frog]

Swap package #2 sent out today -- should get there by the end of the week. Sorry that it took a month to get done, i was sick for half of october, and it threw me off the handmade crafty addition parts for a little bit.

Hope her and her pets like it :D

[Sevaede]

I sent my swap out and it has been received. :D
