Are the boas all gone? If so, can I have the information for ordering another lot of them?

To Romona, Treasure, and Slywalker --  I'm currently out of boas, but I just ordered more yesterday.  They should be here in about a week to ten days.  PM me your mailing address, and I'll send you one as soon as they come in.  (Anybody else, too  -- I've ordered two dozen more.)

Marvin and I have had the best time sending out these boas.  We love to see all the places they're going!  This has been a "fun" project for us.

If anybody wants to know where I'm getting them, it's from haloheaven.com .  I'm getting the 42-inch, purple ones.

I am trying to attach a couple of photos of Molly (my Springer Spaniel) wearing my boa. I promise to post one of me for World Kidney Day and I promise I will adopt a more elegant pose  :rofl; :rofl;  Her pedigree name is Oakwood Princess so I thought it appropriate that she be allowed to wear the regal boa just once.  If nothing is attached then don't be surprised - I'll come back seeking help.  Thanks again Petey & Marvin, it means a lot xxx

Rose, your Molly has a belly like my Winnie. I never thought about putting boa on our two. Knowing them, they would play tug a war. Great pictures.  :cuddle;

LOVE the first picture of Jenna!

I wore mine to take my son to school today, I think he was a little embarrassed. Oh well, 9 year old boys get that way! I plan on wearing it the rest of today (and I know that I need to go back up to the school and the grocery store, at least), maybe someone will ask about it!

Well,at first the reserve of the Brits stopped people asking what I was doing wearing a purple boa to work - then my friend Jane came in and asked 'whatever are you up to?'.  I said 'thank God you asked I was beginning to wonder if the others thought I always dressed like this'  :rofl;  After that lots asked and I delighted in telling them all about IHD, Kidney disease, World Kidney Day, my lovely friends here and of course Goofynina. I also used it to remind them that we need to campaign for more local dialysis facilities (nearest is approx 30 mls away)

Anyway as promised (or was that threatened) here's my pic.

Sluff - PLEASE make it small, it's quite close up and will be bad enough without being HUGE.  Sorry to shatter all the illusions about a young attractive blonde or whatever pics you all had in your heads, I HATE having my photo taken, but if it promotes awareness of kidney disease etc it's all in a good cause.  Oh and THANKS Petey & Marvin for the boa - will continue to wear it.  :thx;
