Thank you Rachel!!! Roxy was thrilled with all her gifts!! And I love mine too!

We owe you the biggest apology also for the delay in posting a thank you! But we just opened the box today!

Rachel must have been the first person to mail off her GE – but thru a series of mishaps with FedEx, a week or so where everywhere went south & a trip out of town, I am just now posting a HUGE THANKS.

Carsons Mommy sent the package – 3 times FedEx came to my house & missed me. Then they told her that I had refused the package – BUT I HADN’T. I went to FedEx to pick up the package – but I was told I was at the wrong place. I was at FedEx Express – the only FedEx I knew of, but I guess there is a new FedEx Ground outside of town, about a ½ hr away. I contacted them and they said they would deliver the package to my house, even though they had missed me the first 3 times. --- BUT, it took THREE more attempts before the box and I met up. By that point, I had a series of problems that kept us from opening the box – Roxy and Bubba were both sick on different days – some stomach bug or something that lasted 2-3 days each. My furnace went out – and it took days of arguing with the furnace people to get them to fix it correctly. Then I was sidetracked by other odd problems – including my bank withdrew double car payments, my mortgage company forgot to pay my property taxes, I have had to work overtime for the last couple of weeks, plan and shop for our buddy in the GE and pack to go on a trip. Then the dogs were boarded or with pepe mint (Mandee) while I was on the first part of my trip for 5 days in Nashville. And in all this time I have not been on YorkieTalk.

The box was sent from Kentucky to Iowa, then I packed it in the car, as I traveled to Nashville and onto Atlanta last night. So today, in Atlanta, while I am with family for Thanksgiving, we finally opened the package – with deepest apologies to Rachel for all her concern.
