I didn't. As you know, she knew I wanted one. She went on a trip, and left me home alone without any turkey dinner. She called, said she was very sorry, and it was okay for me to get a pup.

I'm looking at boys. Trying to decide which one by Monday (my deadline). Pups I'm considering will have to be shipped by air. I'm hoping to have him before the holidays.

Goodluck with that. I found 2 boys on here that I like very much---I could tell you which ones, if you want to know.
I'm going to try to convince my mom to let me get one of them... but she wants a little maltese girl in March and I want a little yorkie boy now!
My mom left me high and dry for thanksgiving...I just called her and told her how nice your wife is and if she could do the same and she laughed at me...

Yes, PM me about the 2 boys you like.

Any news? I was hoping you'd get it today.

I don't have it BUT the post office does. They called me first thing in the morning and said that they don't have it...then I got an email that said they did...then I called and they said that they didn't...it may have been sent to delivery already...and I got some bows and my sack that I ordered, but no bag...so i called and they found it. It came in this morning, I guess...and the package is beat up pretty bad. They said that the seller didn't package it well at all...so I have to hope that there's no damage. But I'll get in monday...which is good. Thanks for asking

How about you? Did you choose a pup? Did you get my PM?

[bildio]

I'm glad to hear the post office has your package.

Yes, I got your PM. Cute pups.

I've narrowed from 2 choices down to 1. I'll decide on Monday whether I get him or not. I want to choose carefully since he will be my last Yorkie .

Chrissy,

I know your home state But i won't reveal it here . Sometimes when I send things home (and you know where I am), it can take up to five days for them to receive it. Keep in mind that Thursday was a Holiday, and mail volume is already picking up, I received my first Christmas card today! I bet the package shows up Monday.

Yes, I would recommend anyone to pay by pay pal, especially when it is a member of a forum and not a "store". That way, there is a record of what you purchased, and you have recourse if you don't receive it. I have had people (NOT Yt'ers) claim not to receive their package, but I ship everything out with a tracking number and it all can be traced.

The thing is, I got several other items that were mailed later at states farther away from me. I got yours faster!
Also, she didn't insure it... and she wasn't a store...so I'd be out of my money.
Reasons why I was nervous. I still am. I don't know what condition it is in. The mail lady said it was packaged poorly--I'm hoping that it is still in good condition.
The mail lady in my city was so nice and went out of her way to look out for it...spoke personally to my mailman. I was impressed.
But I've found this year that 1st class is getting here faster than priority mail...why is that?

I agree. It is much safer to buy with Paypal. They almost always side with
the buyer if an item isn't received even if it is lost in the mail.

I've only had a couple of orders really lost in the five years I have been making bows and it was always the buyer's fault - wrong address on Paypal, etc. I still always replaced the bows. I think any reputable vendor would. The problem with buying a garage sale type item on a forum is that the person is not a vendor and likely only has one of the item. Unless the seller has calculated insurance into the shipping cost and tells you so, insurance is usually the responsibility of the purchaser.

I hope your carrier arrives in good condition.

thanks. I'm not going to buy such an expensive item from an individual. I will buy items over $20 from a reputable business.

What kinds of bags do you have for your Lady Marj? You certainly pamper her

Yup, the old gal is pampered, isn't she?

I never really got into the bag thing. I have a couple of inexpensive ones that I haven't used in years. I have a pink Happy Tails stroller that Miss Lady and I love.

Do you like it? How long have you had it?
Molly loves her strollers...she's too heavy for mommy's shoulder
I am looking into getting another stroller---although I'm not sure if it's worth spending on it in the winter. You know where I'm at...it gets snowy and icy....

I haven't had one package lost---YET. But I did have a Priority Mail box containing over $50 in bows arrive to the persons home state open and EMPTY--and it was returned to me. It was the most puzzling thing that has ever happened, but it indicated on pay pal that the box was not delivered. I re-made the bows, because its just one of those situations where no one is to blame--it really appeared as is the mail workers smashed the box and the bad inside containing the bows slipped out---or maybe some evil person tampered with it. The buyer was a YT member and she was sooo understanding, and even purchased more, so it all turned out.

I really don't know. I have mailed a couple of things in a first class but boxed to a YT'er in MARYLAND and I promise she gets them within 2 days. But I have mailed things to a neighboring state, and the tracking status was never updated and it took as long as 4 days. I really don't think priority is any faster, but it is just a lot more expensive
