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!)
