THANK YOU TOY and TAFFY!!!!!! THANK YOU!!!!! - Page 2 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Well, after all, I did send some of the prettiest pee pads...LOL

I'm still laughing at it, too.

Shoot, sounds like I'm going on a scavenger hunt. I've had this nagging feeling every since I "repacked" that I left out that ball cap. I just could not remember repacking it but I haven't seen it anywhere so that means it's either in a tissue pile or clothes pile or (and this "scares" me the most...LOL) the housekeepers put it up to be safe.

Oh boy, I'm still looking for the alarm clock that is "safe"...LOL...not that I really want to find it. Finally did find the digital camera and it was in the closet. If that's where your ball cap got placed, I may find it by the next GE...LOL.

Gee, I will get someone to see if it fell and got under the bed. I'd check but you'd next be sending me get well cards since if I ever did get up, I'd probably be on a stretcher...LOL... I'm not that sick...just that fat and out-of-shape plus any unusual movement causes a back spasm. Oh the joys of getting old.

Taffy doesn't understand why I keep laughing out loud because she's not doing any of her antics right now. Normally I'm laughing because of her crazy stunts but she is really puzzled. LOL...pee pads...LOL...I'm so glad you have a "healthy" sense of humor!

You are such a fun GE buddy! (And all along all the humor I could see that I sent was the "pup" tent...LOL)

TOY · 05-30-2009, 05:59 AM

Too late to edit but I have to share this...

I kept telling my husband that I was sending a "pup" tent and then I'd laugh. I cannot tell you the number of times this happened... I'd tell him that and he'd look at me very seriously and say, "That's what it's called."

Then I'd say, "But don't you see how funny that is? I'm sending a "pup" tent to dogs!"

There is no telling how many times we had that conversation over the past couple of weeks. I'd just crack up and he'd just shake his head. Sometimes we could use a translator...LOL

dwerten · 05-30-2009, 08:07 AM

wowwwwwww what a great sb -- that brought tears to my eyes the memory ornament - so nice and thoughtful

TOY · 05-30-2009, 08:51 AM

Woo Hoo...I found the ball cap and just as I imagined...when I wasn't looking for it!

I don't know whether to laugh or cry...LOL...turns out my "memory" of unpacking it was wrong. It was still in the living room in its original box as shipped to me. The "memory" of packing it the first time was not true!

No wonder I couldn't find it when I searched the bedroom where I packed the GE box. (Had to move from the living room due to Taffy wanting to play with all the toys while I was trying to pack.)

Anyway, it will be on its way as soon as I make a trip to the post office some time next week. There's also a little toy I left out (and it was my favorite!) that I'll send IF I can find it. Oh boy, you're really discovering how I put things in safe places and then totally forget where I put them. I used to file stuff that way, too. At the time it makes so much sense.

Here's the scene about the toy LAST NIGHT... I commented how much I loved the new toy (it has a sound other than a squeak...LOL) and then I told Frank that I had gotten Taffy's secret buddy one, too. Then I gasped because I realized I hadn't sent it to Fletcher...grrrr.

Is it true that if you think you're getting dementia, you're really not? I've been trying to find some of those smaller stuffingless toys that I bought for Taffy for weeks now. She drags the long one around as her comfort toy so I bought the whole set of the little ones for her. I remember getting the order but then something else caught my attention and now I can't find the "safe" place I stashed them. Guess I know where Taffy gets her ADD, huh? Maybe I caught it from her...LOL

kidmuzicdotcom · 05-30-2009, 04:50 PM

You can tell that she really enjoyed shopping for you! Everything is so special for you!

You know, I already has that clock before I found out that your state "boasts" of being the home state of the guy who invented the alarm clock. Who knew...LOL

Makes a good story though...wish I could tell you I searched for the clock after I found out the fact...LOL

Since you brought it up...LOL

I just found the original letter I wrote to your Yorkie before I even knew who I had. I changed the direction of our box a bit when I found out certain things about Fletcher (had to make it more manly...plus, I couldn't have sweet little Taffy dreaming about a sleep-over with your boy Yorkie!) as you may notice BUT

Now that he has discovered peanut butter and "tolerates" it, I may just add a bit of suspense by publishing the letter in this post and let you wait in suspense wondering what in the world I am sending you in the package with your ball cap...LOL

Let's spice up your Monday a bit, shall we? LOL

Some of the items did come in your GE already so you'll just have to wonder what in the world the other things could possibly be! I'll send them in the box this week with the cap. LOL...you're such fun to tease!

Dear Yorkie Buddy,
Yesterday my Mommy told me that you were going to be my new buddy. I think I must have been thinking about that when I went to sleep. Last night I dreamed we had a play date and it started by you spending the night at my house!
The day began when the nasty alarm clock started its noise. It woke both of us up and we were still sleepy because we had woofed and arfed all night. Anyway, we were excited about the day ahead so we stayed awake. Mommy helped us get dressed and we were ready for our day of fun.
We started to go outside but Mommy made us come back in to eat breakfast. Then she made us put on flip flops so we wouldn’t bruise our paw on a rock. We switched them though so we each had on one of each color. We thought we were really cool…arf, arf, arf.
We played with our bicycles for a little while and played tag and did races. It was lots of fun. Mommy came outside for a minute and gave us a treat. Woof, woof…yummy!
We played some more and then we decided to ask Daddy to go with us on a hike. We both wanted to explore that field behind the house. He said we first had to get Mommy to pack a lunch because we might get hungry and thirsty on our adventure.
Soon we were on our way. We saw some bugs and some crunchy flies on the weeds. He told us their name but I forgot. Then you saw something red. Daddy said it was a strawberry and he let us eat it. Woof, woof, woof…it was really good!
We chased some more bugs and then got to eat our packed lunch. We were so tired we nearly fell asleep in our water…arf, arf, arf!
I don't know what happened after that because the noisy telephone burst my dream bubble. Everyone wondered why I lazed around all day but I was just dog tired after playing all night…arf, arf, arf!
Your new buddy,
Taffy

TOY · 06-01-2009, 06:08 AM

Hmmm...the original letter did have spaces between paragraphs...LOL

Oh well, not everything translates when copied and pasted, I guess.

LOL...now maybe your Monday will have a bit more fun sprinkled on it...LOL

FlDebra · 06-01-2009, 06:16 AM

Thank you all so much -- what a delightful read! Debbie, I think you have to win first prize for the most thoughtfully put together gift package of all time. So many personalized gifts showing how much you really found out about your buddy. Fletcher, Dexter and Christina all were well spoiled and so obviously thankful for all you did it made my day reading and looking at the pics! You guys are the best! Thanks again for starting my day on YT in a most positive and endearing way!

TOY · 06-01-2009, 07:08 AM

LOL, Debra!

I just told Christina in a PM that I'm glad I can finally talk "to" her. I felt like a stalker this past month...LOL

celstu1 · 06-01-2009, 04:50 PM

Deb, not only are you thoughtful but you are hysterical! I swear if Taffy could talk, oh the things we'd all learn about you! hhhhmmmmmm You are probably lucky she can't!!

Have you thought about writing children's books? I think you'd be really really good at it with your creative mind!

I should mention and I don't think I did (ooppss) that EVERYTHING in my box was wrapped and packaged in little things with paw prints all over them! It was soooo adorable! tissue paper, gift bags, beach balls, little boxes, little cloth bags! It was soooo adorable! Deb put her heart into this GE! I am grateful to have been her buddy and all her GE buddies going forward will be lucky people!

TOY · 06-01-2009, 05:36 PM

Aha...you've touched my secret passion and desire...

I've always wanted to write a book!

And although I taught junior high math most of my career, I did have one year as an elementary librarian where I worked with K-8 grade students. I was thankful I got to use that certification at least one year before I moved into administration.

Sad but true...taking that administrative position made it possible for me to retire after my 30 years. Had I stayed in the classroom or library, I would never have been able to financially retire at age 52. It was bittersweet though. Our life's plan generally makes sense as we look backwards. Had I still been teaching math, I'd never have left the classroom to be an supervisor and write grants for the system.

Had all that not happened, I wouldn't have been available when my Mother needed me to be her caregiver. Because I had retired, I was able to help her stay in her home as she wished even though I had to learn some "nursing" skills. I would not trade those days for anything.

As much as I love math, I also love the beauty of language and words. So....there is bound to be a book inside me somewhere...LOL
