Mr Tigger is a yorkie mix. Maybe a yorkie-poo, but I don't know for sure since he's from a rescue. He has some sort of neuroligcal problem that's caused him to be mostly blind. Sometimes I think he can see because he'll walk around something on the floor. The next day he might walk into a wall. My vet thinks he might've been deprived of oxygen at birth.

Ahhh,Boxman---you poor thing!  What dedication ---is the present for me??  :rofl;  Does it help to know that we had a snow shower today?  Here in Raleigh!  Sun was shining and snow flakes were swirling!  It is way too cold for us this early.    Thanks for getting the box and tape so you could mail my present!  I really do appreciate it.   :cuddle;

I thought Box had my name!  (At least, that's what twirl told me!   :rofl;  :rofl; ).

Paris, we had snow flurries way down here (southeast NC) today, too.  About one o'clock, one of my students blurted out (in the middle of a big vocabulary test), "It's SNOWING !!"  Of course, I laughed it off.  Sure enough, I looked out the window, and the flurries were flying!  Nothing stuck -- the sidewalk didn't even get wet good.  It lasted for about 30 minutes.  It was beautiful to see.

Oh Poor Boxman. Went all that way to get a box and found out the gift will not fit into it.  And the air holes just were not in the right place. :rofl; :rofl;

Thank you to those Santa's who have either posted or let me know that they have mailed their packages.

If you receive a package, I would appreciate knowing so I can make my list, checking it twice.  :thx;

:yahoo; :christmastree; MY PRESENT IS HERE :christmastree; :yahoo;

The shake is tantalizing.  Both heft and thumpiness, with a tad bit of rattle roll.

I have to wait until Christmas to open it?  More than a month from now?  I have never been very patient...

OOPS, is it supposed to be a secret when it arrives?

Thank you Secret Santa  :guitar:

You are supposed to post when you get your box as well as when you send your box. 


Where is my box already? I want to pet it and stroke it and fluff its feathers until December 25.

Somebody send me snow! I'm a transplanted Minnesotan. We don't get much snow here and mostly I'm glad of that. I love to look at it and hear it crunch underfoot. I even like to shovel it. But then I want it gone. It's kind of like being satisfied by one little piece of Dove chocolate instead of needed to get sick by eating the whole bag in one sitting.

Boxmn, I like gerbils, too if that's why your box needs airholes. I'm afraid my cats & dachshund would like them, too, but I can work with that.

Petey, wasn't that wild seeing snow so early?    Only for a few minutes, but we had to stop and watch.  Put me in a festive mood.

Gerbils?  I thought maybe Boxman was mailing himself!   :rofl;
