To Taffy's SB...Oh, dear! - Page 2 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

TOY · 05-24-2009, 06:34 AM

Shipping weight was just over 22 pounds. Is that in the "normal" range? I thought it was but I keep thinking about the clerk's comment about children's swing sets...oh, dear! LOL

Maybe I should have used tissue for the packing material instead of my "out-of-the-box" idea...although it did seem so ingenious at the time!

Oh well, as long as our SB doesn't get a hernia taking the box inside, all should be well. My husband thought it was heavy; I thought it was "just right" and wouldn't change a thing except maybe the packing material.

At the time I thought it was such a creative idea but now I'm just hoping I don't offend our SB! Oh dear...guess I should learn to pack normally and not try to play Martha Stewart...LOL

Me too!!! Now who could possibly be offended by your creative packaging ideas? I am sure your gift is BEEEE-U-TIFUL!!!

Well, it's not exactly the packaging...LOL...I love the packaging.

It's what I used as "filler" to keep the stuff from shifting. LOL... I would like it but then I sometimes have been told I have a warped sense of humor!

It may even look like a planned part of the gift...that's kinda what I fear. It is useful but I don't want to offend...it seemed like such a good idea at the time and just fit perfectly and it served the purpose well...no shifting! However, it may offend the Yorkie...hahahahaha

But the items in question are brand new...LOL...I promise!

Now if that created a bit of mystery and suspense...

it served its purpose!

All of it true though...it was just what I needed to stuff in the box

to stop the shifting......and it wasn't popcorn.

My "toy" of choice at my house is popping the air bubble wrap that comes in boxes so I didn't have any of it in usuable shape! (Taffy doesn't even blink at my "toy" so I think she's all set for the Fourth of July fireworks the kids set off in the neighborhood.)

I know you stuffed the box with milk bones or treats.

TOY · 05-25-2009, 09:01 AM

LOL...

Wish I'd thought of that but the box would have attracted every loose dog for miles, don't you think? LOL

OH boy! I have some thoughts on what you might have used.... guess we'll have to wait and see when your buddy's package comes in! LOL If I am guessing correctly (in my head of course) good idea! LOL
