:lol2: :dancing_3: :dancing_b04: YAY!!! so this is the thread for the 2012 Secret Santa and Rescue Elves "victims" (recipients) to post pictures of their furkids sniffing strange packages they can't open yet, and later, opening and examining and trying out their loot. We also welcome all comments and observations and explanations - this is the jolliest thread of the year! :newyear:

There are a couple of people who may post early due to special circumstances, ...and all rescues can post on here any time they like. Rescues may be receiving their packages early, since any day fun things come to rescues is like Christmas. (or Chanukah iiii!iiii) :cool2: :clap2: (everyone else has to wait until at least December 15th to open gifts, which is the last night of Chanukah, and close enough to Christmas not to be totally ridiculous!!) :roflmao:

remember - after New Year's, all Santas and victims WILL be revealed! So if you haven't guessed by then or your Santa doesn't reveal their identity, you won't be left wondering! :busted_cop:

(I know this seems awfully early for a reveal thread, but thanks for being understanding. lolo) :thanx:

Perfect!!

Since my husband was going on the business trip and HE insisted to see at least one package, we opened one of them;) I was like, I AM the DT member and this gift is for Elza not for you...!

Wow! High necked four-leg jammies!!!!


Elza, I and my husband really really love this:nicejob: Perfect color, logo (Diva;)), motif (I love crown) and size! Custom made, yeah!
"You may see me. I am Diva!"




Elza sleeps cuddling with her big blanket (it used to be mine). After she changes her position, the blanket falls off from her and every night she wakes my husband to put it on her again at MIDNIGHT, twice. He was glad to see the warm jammies; he won't be bothered anymore, maybe?
Elza didn't want to take jammies off. She knows it's so comfortable and warm:)
There's no doubt I buried my face into Elza, so comfy!! I want to have these for my own(lol)!

I'll take and post more pics after I open the box.

THANK YOU SO MUCH, my SS!

Well this was SWODR's (South West Ohio Doberman Rescue) first year participating in DT's rescue Elves and I am blown away by all of our Elves. Each one of them was so kind and their presents were wonderful!!! With that being said our final rescue elves package came today and it was another great one!! Like I stated earlier we really got lucky with all of our elves. The collars are great and the toys are wonderful. It really has taken a turn for the cold here in the past couple of days so the blankets will really come in handy. Thank you so much KoaRad. Happy Holidays and Happy New Year!!

I am sorry my camera didn't like me tonight.

**I will be dropping off all the SS presents sometime this week and when I do I will make sure to take some great shots of the dogs that are at the rescue with the new toys and supplies. I am pretty excited!!**

(*Rescues interested in being considered for next year's elvish fun may PM me for guidelines. the primary requirements, besides being a legitimate rescue organization, are being 100% willing to post photos and commentary on DT (no excuses), and having at least 1 member who is an active DT member in good standing. Rescues who do not acknowledge their elves or timely post that packages have been received (even if photos are not immediately posted), or who cause anxiety among the elvish community will NOT be asked to participate again. We do NOT wish to give any elf reason for not wanting to be an elf again next year!!*)

Bella was driving me nuts tonight so I figured I would let her atleast open the brown paper that the package was wrapped in. Just the paper. The rest will wait.This box wrapped in brown paper has been driving me nuts all week. So I let her tear the paper and she did, then I saw the box. We got THE BOX!!! The one with the GOURGEOUS art work all over it. Now Instead of being just curious about the plain brown box on top of the fireplace taunting us, I have this beautful box with the most gourgeous free handed drawing of a Doberman that you could ever see. Now I'm really tortured. I don't think we are going to last until Christmas eve. Not with this face staring at us on the cardboard. Now does anyone know how to frame a box because there is no way we are getting rid of it. The suspense is now officially killing me. We are not going to make it until Christmas. I don't even think we are going to make it until midnight at this rate. Good thing I have cookie baking to distract me for a little while. SS we LOVE your art work. Thank you so much for all of the time you put into it.

Just uploaded them to the computer, next to photobucket. Trying to do all this in between making oh a zillion cookies. I'm going to be up all night baking because some red haired girl is driving me crazy and its trippling my time!!! I'll get the pics up soon. Still have not touched the box but my will power is getting weaker by the hour.

We caved! After looking at that beautiful box for what looked like hours we couldnt take it anymore so since I was up all night baking anyways we let her open it.

Bella and The box. Hey it looks like me! Now we know why you wrapped it so well. Its a work of art!







ok we got the instructions now we have to get "the pose" down as requested just like on the box.

I think this is it.

ooh whats this

It just wouldn't be Christmas if Bella wasn't taunting one of her sisters.

Look what Santa brought me. It's mine! You can't have it.

Look at my new sunglasses! And they are pink!! With rhinestones!! I love them Santa. Look at how fabulous I look. No one is going to recognize me when I walk down the street. I look like a movie star wearing them.

Here is a close up. I love these glasses Santa I'm never taking them off. I see better in them thats my story I'm sticking with it.

Oh and they match my new favorite martingale collar in the whole wide world, I love this Santa.


Then again I love this one too. Look at how sparkly it is. I might have to wear both of them. I can't choose!

I really love this one too.

Santa I love the toys and the dental chew you sent me and the pjs, and the beautiful collars, and I especially the sunglasses. Thank you soooo much for being so very generous.



Porschlei and Kratos thank you so very much for your generosity. It is very much appreciated. Bella loved everything and we really loved the artwork on the box. Merry Christmas!

Hmmm..... So my plan to not let my Victim know who I am has backfired.... I think.....

Jonesy's SS recipient should post more picture then they haven't :p... Really just because I would like to make sure everything fits :) oh and I want to see them in their cute stripes *hint*

I finally got off my butt and went to the post store to get my package! Now I finally know who my SS is!! Sorry if the pictures are crappy, but I took them with my phone :)

One side



Other side



Ollie is quite jealous!!



The card said only open the "OPEN ASAP" ones today, so I did, and the result was my own little Santa Baby!!! I'm sorry, I accidentally ripped one of the "Wait until Christmas" packages, so what she is playing with is one of her Christmas toys! Whoops! She got a little jingly collar, and a SANTA OUTFIT! She looks SO CUTE! Thank you SO MUCH SS!!!!

Okay just kidding, the video and pictures will NOT load, so I will do it later!! :D
