Hint to throw you off....
My victim might know what a "Daisy cutter" is, or maybe "Lope" | I know what those mean!

| National Lampoons Xmas show is my favourite. we watch it every year. That big Rottie jumping on the table reminds me so much of our first Dobe Garth.
Porchelai, I would happily send you a cat. I have 2.
Lets see, my big Thoroughbred has beautiful daisy cutter movement, he shows Hunter.
And my Quarterhorse has a soft rocking horse lope.
But I wasn't paying attention to every other clue. dang it.
Wrapped each gift last night and stuffed my box full. I am a little worried about shipping oversees. I will post my shipping costs later today.
Did I mention that I included a tin of Tim Hortons coffee in my box.
(I hope non Canadians know what that is) | |

Still waiting for the last couple things for our SS victim, will probably ship the box early next week! | |

| Dear SS Victim:
I heard some rustling around last night and when I went to investigate Luci had snitched another pizzle stick...... apparently they're her most favorite of all b/c she's left everything else alone.
On a funny note, I got to explain to my husband what a pizzle is....... he wasn't amused

| Finished packing both SS and elvish boxes today, so both ready to send. After sealing rescue box good and tight and secure, realized I'd left out something for the human. So I guess I'll have to send it separately. That box was crammed so tightly (my little black kitty destroyed the designated box...she just loves to tear up boxes and punch holes in plastic stuff) wouldn't have fit anyway.

| We have a crazy busy day today...baby shower and fundraiser tonight, so I'm hoping to get the packages sealed up tomorrow and mailed out Mon. or Tues. Might be lucky for our SS or Rescue because there are always some good auction items at this event, which may have to be bid on...so who knows what else could find its way into the boxes after tonight.
And maybe...just MAYBE a little something for Rowan. He has been so good watching me bring home all this stuff for other dogs and his mommy is not one of those nice mommies who buys double of everything. Poor, neglected dog.

| Stuffed everything into a box yesterday and went to post office.
My shipping for this one box to my special recipient was $140.00.
I had to ship it by November 30 to guarantee Christmas delivery. I added insurance and a tracking number.
There is a second box to go also, but I am waiting for this custom gift to be sent to me first. Seems the Canadian and American holidays slowed down our mail.
I will have to send that package by air. Hopefully its not too expensive to ship.
I also have to send my big charity/rescue box out of the country. Boy these
shipping charges are killing me. | |
