Hello all ~

I'd like to agree. The fuzzies I choose came from 3 separate shelters.
For at least 2 of them I had to contact Kris directly. I really
hesitated to do this, knowing Kris was trying to transfer pages. But I
got a reply within 12 hours with the name of the shelter mom, location,
and email. That's all I needed. The fun I had this year really helped
with loosing Calvin. We made big, huge boxes and carted them down to
our local mail place. Everything got there and I received some lovely
ty cards, and one had a picture!! That was so cool.

I did have tracking #'s and was able to send them out. These little
guys will mean a lot to me all year.

My only suggestion is that maybe starting the tree a month earlier
next year would give all of us time to shop, to order, and to mail
and contact. If it's for the fuzzies I have no problem thinking of
Christmas as early as October.
 
Warmly ~
Mary
