I wanted to give you an update. I have been pretty much displaced in my own home and my life has been turned upside down this past week. Who would have ever thought that a fire contained to a porch would cause so much havoc. The owner of the professional cleaning company spent several hours with us Tuesday evaluating the house to prepare a preliminary report for the insurance company. The insurance adjusters spent almost all day Wednesday with us, explaining, reassuring, measuring and drawing. The cleaning crew arrived bright and early Thursday morning and started cleaning walls, and contents -- every single thing in every closet was removed, the walls cleaned and the contents were replaced. They spent ALL DAY in my kitchen...... removing cleaning replacing -- the only thing is now I can't find anything -- but it is all spotlessly clean.

However there are a couple of positives --

1) The new bags for the GE Special for Yorkie Yummies arrived and they are very nice. They look very similar to the regular size bags except these are silver on the back rather than black.

2) I am finishing up sewing the squeeky toys to go with the GE Specials. I hope th have them in the mail late this afternoon with the possible exception of those going to Canada. They will go out on Monday.

So by the end of today I will have at least all of the stateside YY orders in the mail and the Canadian orders ready to take to the post office on Monday.

I hope to start sewing tomorrow...... My sewing room is scheduled for cleaning on Monday -- I expect that they will be in here all day long. I will move one of my sewing machines upstairs along with the necessary supplies to start getting orders out.

I am so sincerely awed by your patience with me. In time I will find a special way to thank all of you who have been waiting for your orders.

One last note -- I can fully understand it if any of you would prefer to have a refund rather than continue waiting. If that is the case, please please send me a pm and I will issue a refund asap.
