CALLING ALL ELVES!! We have a DT member whose home, life and Doberkid were seriously disrupted by Sandy. This Doberkid lost his toys, blankies and stuff - and the roof of his home! To those who have PM'd me, (and if any others who would like to help, PM me), maybe we can offer a small ray of sunshine in what has been a living hell for this household for the last 2 months. ((they wanted to participate in SS again this year, but were unable to)).

I SERIOUSLY had to fight Jaina off of that thing every morning - I kept it all in a tub in the stairwell, and she'd stop there every day to try to steal the pterodactyl

If he can get through it as quickly as J can... then you'll get poked in ~20 minutes. I did figure out that I could keep her busy with it by filling the inside with a bit of her food - so she's forced to work on one side, roll it around to get food, and then work on the other. That's made it last a day or two

I'm SO glad that it fit him properly. I made Jaina model the jacket in the store, and it made her look like a dwarf WAYY too big on her, but I hoped that he'd either grow into it, or fit it already. (and, sorry about the mud! Like I mentioned in my PM, she jumped on me while I was hauling it to the car and apparently managed to get a little bit on the corner)


I'm glad that you love it all!

Wanted to add: no box yet. Have been checking every day! Will post when it arrives.

Got our SS box today!







It may or may not be missing a corner by now... but it is up and out of doggie reach now until Christmas.
And after a bit of sleuthing and searching... I think our SS may own a boy considerably bigger than mine with a very, very cute face. Could he be a mastiff?

Ivan is worried our victim doesn't like us because they still haven't posted photos showing they rec'd the box.

wantsaDobe makes a good point - the world might be ending, so everyone should open their boxes!

I may have used the search function to search your first name. Then looked at your hints again. But it was still mostly a guess. I guess it was a good guess!

Maybe I can convince my husband that since you say so, we should open it tonight.

wantsaDobe

Open it, open it! Chant with me people!

Was it? Only one way to find out.

HAHAHA...this is AWESOME!

None yet. I sent the Pres an email yesterday telling her that you and Lorna had sent packages. I also told her that your tracking info indicated that someone named Sean signed for the package. She said she'd check on it, but I haven't heard anything back yet.

I'll give her a call when I leave my office to see if I can get a status update. I am also not above going down to the PO Box company and throwing a fit. Just saying!

I'll keep you updated as soon as I hear something. I know it must be frustrating for you all who thoughtfully sent packages to HADR.

Howdy,
Wow! Our SoCal elves sent a beautiful and generous stash of goodies for our rescue kids. Even the cat was jealous and kept an eye on things just in case there was a prize inside that box somewhere. The custom stockings were the best, although the Dobers seemed to feel the bully sticks and treats were their favorites. Bella the wobbler is watching over hers personally and said the others are on their own. Thanks mucho from Vegas!

I am trying hard to be good, too. (It must be my early 13 years of strict religious/private schooling.).

We are going to wait to open all gifts until we hear Santa's reindeer's little hooves leave our roof and see Rudolph's red nose blinking in the sky...

Everyone is going to have to wait for the

Zephyr

Thanks! I hope there's someone at that addressed named Sean, or I'll really start to worry! Maybe a "John," and the postman just misheard? Who knows. I just hope it gets to the intended parties eventually. Thanks for the information.

HADR has received one of the packages so far! It was addressed from Frisco, so that must be the lovely Ms. Courtney's (Zephyr) package. Photos and a note from Cindy, HADR's President, to follow shortly.

HADR-Rescue Elves Package

A note from the HADR President, Cindy:
"Ryder (Cindy's current foster) is simply enjoying the heck out his new favorite Christmas toy. He first liked the light blue rubber toy, he really liked the nylabone dental chew (in the shape of a dinosaur, no less!), but his favorite this evening is the blue polka dotted dinosaur. Alas, he hasn't stopped squeaking it for the last hour!

The donation of the medical tape and wraps, as well as, the fish capsules, grooming products, collars and treats will go far in helping us make sure these dogs get just what they need. We are so THANKFUL for this donation and the lovely card that was received with such sweet sentiments. We are truly appreciative of the efforts and well-wishes from the DT Rescue Elves to making our Dobes have a joyful Christmas.

From all of us at HADR, a true, heartfelt THANK YOU!!!!
Cindy
HADR President"

Here are some photos! Cindy will be coordinating with the other fosters to have the supplies spread out. Thank You Courtney!

I feel awful I haven't been able to get this post done sooner! Our house has been turned topsy turvey with everything going on with Brandy. I apologize for the delay!

So without further ado...DRAW received another wonderful box from a very generous elf, doberdeer and Ruger! We cannot thank you enough, our fosters will LOVE everything!

Everything was wrapped up so nice...it was fun to open! Brandy had to "help".





I'm down to three legs...no will suspect me if these balls are missing! (It's so good to see her acting a little more normal!)


(Don't worry, the balls are safely hidden away now to be delivered on Saturday!)

Thank you again to everyone who sent packages to DRAW! We are so grateful!
