    Is it christmas already?

    I've been a baaad girl. I went to a Foster and Smith sale. Most of the stuff is rejected or returned for slight flaws and this guy picks up the stuff and sells it on his own or to liquidator stores. I spent around $200 for $700 worth of Foster and Smith merchandise!!!!!!! I got two crates, rawhides, a raised dish for Naylee, some giant "fossil" skulls for my aquariums, life jackets for all the dogs, haloween costumes, treats, a no-pull harness for my friend's dog. Tomorrow I'm gonna take pics of everything and make Autumn model her new outfits. I felt like a kid in a candy shop all day with the deals. I even went back 3 times because first I got the wrong size life jacket for Autumn so I had to go back a second time for another, then I brought one of my other friends to the sale and couldn't help looking through the stuff again.

    I am jealous too -- I LOVE the Drs. Foster and Smith kitty catalog and although the prices aren't bad, the shipping cost always stops me. Autumn, what a nice new warm-up you're modeling for us!
    Praying for peace in the Middle East, Ukraine, and around the world.

    I've been Boo'd ... right off the stage!

    Aaahh, I have been defrosted! Thank you, Bonny and Asiel!
    Brrrr, I've been Frosted! Thank you, Asiel and Pomtzu!

    Acutally, there's a store in Antigo, WI that sells their supplies at a big discount and also one in Appleton that sells a few things they buy from the Antigo guy.

    Some of the stuff has slight flaws or is returned, most of it I can't figure out what is wrong. My two aquarium skulls broke in transport, but not so much I can't use some aquarium sealant to put them back together. I paid $5 for each of them as compared to the $30 catalog price.

    Also, one of the jackets I got was personalized and returned for some reason, wrong size perhaps? I paid $3 for each outfit.

    This jacket is personalized for a dog named Sonic but we don't mind, its a cool name

    cute leather and faux jacket I got for my aunt's chihuahua. Not even the cats are small enough to model this one

    I bought two life jackets, one for Autumn and one for Wallace


    Naylee sometimes curls into a tight ball, probably something she learned from a life outside in the cold or in a too small doghouse
