Emme is still in the running. Keep the hints coming Taffy. :D

My Mommy says I can give today's clue er-lee today. She says a man is coming to our house to put up hers and Daddy's Christmas present and that I have to be good 'cause he'll be on a ladder! I have to watch my zoomies.

Ooohhh...bet there'll be lots of boxes for me to chew on!

Anyway, since today will be heck-tick, Mommy says to say my clue and then get off the 'puter...so here goes...

Mommy says my buddy's state has at least 5 letters but less than 12. She's in that math mood again this morning 'cause she wrote it this way:

12 > letters in the name of my buddy's state > 5

(Mommy also said it took her entirely too long to write out that math stuff...She's getting old and rusty. Wonder does that mean she's been out in the rain?) Mommy also says to tell you all to have a good day!

Jack is out. He is sad but he knows he will love who ever his sb is.

Aw, looks like we are out. Gellica is a girl, and she does have longer pretty hair, but our state is too small for a song -- and the official name of our state "Rhode Island and Providence Plantations" is way longer than 12 letters :( - Bye Taffy!

ohhhh Taffy me wivs in cawifornia and dat is more dan 5 and wes dan 12 wetters Iz it me Shilo?

My state is FLOWIDA (Mommy sayz that's 7 letters) but Iz not sure if it'z in a song.... (Where my Mommy is from, Miami is in songs! But she said she doesn't know if our state is.) Maybe I'm still your buddy? :)

When my Mommy asked Daddy (the music guru of the family) he said there is a blues song called "Florida Blues." When Mommy did a search with "lyrics with Florida in them" on Google, she found more than one! So you're still in! At least that's what my Mommy says.

Shhhhhhh...you gotta be really quiet on this clue 'cause if Mommy sees what I'm writing, she might not let me have my favorite carrots all day!

My Mommy is 57 years old! Shhhhhh...I know, I know....I heard her tell somebody yesterday. (I don't think she knows I was listening.)

Anyway, I've heard Mommy tell Daddy that my buddy's Mommy is younger than mine.

That's my hint today but I'm 'riting it in fizz-able ink so Mommy can't see it...and

Don't you tell!

Oh, there are Florida songs! :woof: And Iz younger than your Mommy Taffy! I might still be your buddy! :D Kissess! :animal36 Zoe

I am just a little younger so Emme is still in. :D

You know what, See-kret Buddy?

My Mommy says if 3 things would just hurry on in, we can send our box to you! Mommy says they are taking so long because two of them are person-a-lized. (I think Mommy really meant to say pet-a-lized but she was in a hurry.)

Mommy says she goofed on the third thing 'cause when she ordered it, she didn't know-tis that it comes from a far-away place. She says it will take soooooo long to get here that we may have to send it long after this GE is a mim-o-ree. (It was something Mommy just added anyway 'cause of something your Mommy said to sumbuddy else. Now we wait and wait and wait. Mommy sighs and tells Daddy to look outside again. Daddy thinks Mommy has lost it but Mommy never got it at all 'cause it is taking so long to git here! There's so much sighing 'round here around dee-live-er-ree time! I sigh, too, just to add my support...LOL)

Today's k-loo is sim-pull. Mommy says you are smaller than me.

Taffy, I smawer...Iz it me?

Awwww, Shilo,

Mommy says I can't tell.

I saw-ree.

Emme is smaller, maybe it is her? :D

Today is football day in my house. Mommy says that Sat-er-day used to be called cartoon day but that was ages ago.

Anyway, Mommy says that out team is in the SEC.

And Mommy says that my buddy's team would be in a different con-fur-ance.

Gotta go...from the woo hoos and happy sounds, I think Mommy's and Daddy's team made something called a touchdown.

As for me? I'd rather be watching cartoons...arf!

Anyway, my Mommy says we might 'rap some of my buddy's stuff later today but we can't mail the package until one other thing comes 'cause it's got my buddy's name on it. Maybe I can sneak a peak before Mommy 'raps it and I can tell you the name painted on it. I hope it's purty 'cause Mommy says it'd better be since it's holding everything up!

Thank goodness there is google since we know NOTHING about football but TX is not part of the SEC so Emme is still in. :D

Grrrr...

Mommy and Daddy say we played arf-ful.

We losted.

And it was a conference game 'cause it was Ole Miss.

You're right Emme, Texas is not in the SEC so you might be my buddy!

Mommy says our school, FSU, isn't in the SEC and that they're in the ACC. I don't know what that means but I do know Mommy says are team sacks, or something like that. :p Maybe we're still you're buddy!

Hey Taffy is it me Dee Dee

GOOOOOOO BUCKKKSSSSSS

Dee Dee, Mommy says I mustn't tell.

But guess what?

Mommy finally got everything 'rapped 'cept that one thing we're still waiting on. She says it's got my bud's name on it so we gotta wait.

Oh yeah, and Mommy says the box she thought she'd use is not gonna work so now we gotta find a nutter box.

But Mommy says she know-tised something today. I forgot what she called it..."zip" something. Hmmm...zipper, maybe...

Anyway, Mommy says our buddy's zipper has 2 of the same numbers our zipper has. And you know what else? Mommy says the sum of the digits in our zipper is 19 and our buddy's is at least 15...maybe less, maybe more, maybe equal.

My Mommy just won't leave that math stuff alone!

Taffy, our "zipper" is 17....so Emme might still have a chance. We don't know what numbers are in your zipper but we hope we have some that are the same.

Mommy said it's a ZIP CODE! :D She also says I'm a smart puppy, sometimes and when I want to be. :p But I'm a little bit of a sad puppy because my zip code adds up to 11 ... I'm not your buddy. Even though I'm not your buddy I'm sure you have a great buddy. ;)

OOOOOOHH! OOOOOhhhhh!

You pups will never guess what happened today!

My Mommy thought the last present she was going to get got here today...it did but guess what else?

The "something" she found on eBay that she thought she'd have to send later 'cause after she paid for the "new something" she discovered that it was being shipped from a far-un country (far off) and that it wouldn't get here 'til after turkey day. Mommy doesn't do eBay much but she was looking for this e-spesh-i-lee for my buddy and she thought she'd have to be sending it sep-a-rate-lee but...

Woo Hoo! It came today, too! Mommy is sooooooooooo happy! Plus, the almost the last thing is bee-yoo-tee-full and made Mommy so very happy I think she spilt some kind of cup. I know she said it overflowed.

I'm so happy 'cause Mommy is so happy. Mommy says this GE came together in the grrr-eight-ist way! (Everything's purr-fect 'cept Mommy can't find that wide tape and Daddy's got to buy her some more. Oops...Mommy says she'll find it after she sends the box...arf!)

Okay, Mommy says I can give one last MAY-JOOR clue before we send it on its way. She says this may be too much but she'll let me say it just this one time...

The ree-sun we tried to make this GE so special is 'cause it is my buddy's very furst time to get a GE package. Mommy says we had to make it grr-ate and we did. Oooooohhhh, I can't wait 'til my buddy gets the stuff.

Buddy, you are going to be dog-gone delighted...or so my Mommy says.

Mommy says it will ship too-mah-row. (Oh my goodness...Mommy said she just 'membered that she didn't put in our note that tells who we are! It's a good thing we haven't done the wide tape yet...arf, arf!)

I think I'm already out as your secret buddy, Taffy, but Sophie and I sure have enjoyed reading your hint thread!!! Your mommy and I need to set up a play date for you and Sophie since we live close! Have fun with your GE!!!

Emme is out....she has been in several GE's. :(

But we did have fun reading all of your hints as usual.

Hey...pssssst!

Yeah, over here...

It's me Taffy and I'm behind the chair so Mommy can't see me 'cause I'm not supposed to be on the 'puter any more until my buddy gets the secret box.

But you know what???

Mommy says that there's a super sekret clue in one of her clues. I can even tell you which one if I 'skguise it.

Mommy says it's half of a century. Does that help? Anyway, Mommy says there's a hidden code in that post...

Now I've got to very. quietly. get. back. to. bed. Nite!

Interesting clue, Taffy! Sophie and I can't wait to see who your buddy is!

Ooooo, oooo, oooo!!!! Bella thinks it's HER!!! :D :D :D Let's recap Taffy:
1. We live in the USA!
2. our sign-up post is NOT a prime number!!
3. Bella's hairs are longer than your hairs ;)
4. HELLO-OO!!! "Oklahoma!"...not ONLY a song, but ALSO a musical!! :p
5. Bella is a girly-britches!!
6. 12 > O-K-L-A-H-O-M-A >/= 5
7. (this one is a shhhhhh!!!) we have a question...is this the REAL number, or the number we tell people?? ;) we could still be in maybe??
8. Bella is smaller than you, Taffy!!
9. We are NOT in the SEC!
10. our "zipper" has exactly 2 numbers in common with your "zipper" :p
11. This is Bella's very 1st GE!!!
12. Ok, this one's sneaky....could it be that it's a song with our state in it, it's our state song, AND it's a musical...could that count as a super secret hidden clue?? I just don't know...

Oh, Taffy!! We are on pins and needles, ready to find out who your SB is...and we hope it's US!!! :D

LOL...Bella, Mommy says you hit on every last one except the last clue. I can't x-plane it right now 'cause it would give it away to our SB but check back to this thread AFTER my SB gets her box and Mommy said she'll splane it.

Some of you guys who think you are out may be so far out that you've orbited back in again. LOL...remember I'm just a little girl and sometimes I get mix-it up.

That's all Mommy will let me say but...

She's very disappointed 'cause we didn't get our box shipped today. See, Mommy's been in bed almost all day. Her fell real hard on the tile when she slipped on one of my pee pads. She's okay but really really sore. She scared me though and I had to go lick her face while she lay there 'cause Daddy wasn't home and I had to take care of her. Mommy says she'll probably be better tomorrow. She said it was like falling on ice but when it's onto tile over a concrete slab, it hurts even worse, she thinks. I'm just glad Mommy's not broken like an egg is when it falls in the kitchen!

Daddy's going to take my buddy's box to the brown store tomorrow for Mommy. I already herd him say so.

(This is TOY. I do feel like I've been run over by an 18-wheeler. Feels like everything inside me has been rearranged! However, I wanted to share a sweet story about Taffy and my fall. She really did come running and sat down by my face and licked my cheek...come to think of it she was probably slurping on my salty tears. Anyway, the cutest thing last night...she's never done this before...she brought her favorite toy over to me and laid it in my lap. It wasn't for me to play with her. When she wants me to play, she brings a toy and lays it at or on my feet...LOL. No, this time she brought it to my lap to comfort me. It was such a touching moment!)
