Our cards are OUT!!!

FINALLY!!! I know I know, it's about time............ and I have my sweaty toes crossed that they will get there before Christmas! I really do think they will, and here is the reason why:

Due to my voicing my concerns about our late coming cards, I had asked mum to rearrange her entire day and work schedule to meet my needs. I had a special request for her.



You all remember I live in Vancouver BC, not Vancouver WA right??

I told mum couple days ago that I really thought it would be a good idea to take all my cards and stuff down to the States to mail them. I wanted to make sure my cards get to their recipients before Christmas you know?

So my very well behaved mum took home two days worth of work assignments and she worked and worked and worked on them until 3:30 am this morning.

Then I told mum that since I hadn't gone to my rehab center for over 10 days (since the snow) that we should really let me go and have a SPAW session. Now now now, I was being very considerate because I knew the rehab center was only about 10 minutes from one of the border crossings. So I thought we could get two things done in one trip, understood?

Again, my very well trained mum took my suggestion and booked me an 8:00 am appointment. She woke up at 6 this morning (yup, 2.5 hrs of sleep), got my things (breakfast, towels, rain coat, water) ready and we left the house at around 6:45 and headed 60 kms east of Vancouver to go to my rehab center.



Yup, a girl needs her SPAW sessions!!

After my SPAW treatment, mum gave me my breakfast, I ate a little teeny bit (mum: more like HALF) of mum's McGriddle sandwich, and we headed towards the border.

We came here:



Mum did a lot of paper work on the international cards. Now that I think back, mum should really thank me for this idea, otherwise, she would have had to fill papers for the US one too on top of the international orders if she had sent them from Canada.

*** We did send out Canadian cards out on Monday!! So my country mates might get them sooner since 3 (not including me) out of 7 are in BC LOL!!

Anyway, after all our cards were sent, mum let me out of the car for a little breather. I, of course, had to let everybody know that Miss Sunshade was at the United States Post Office. So I left my mark - VERY important!!



We headed back over the border as soon as I finished leaving my scent. Mum said she still had work to do, so we had to go home.......



SunshadeMOBILE had to wait in line......

***************************************************

I was a little upset that I didn't get to stay in the US a little longer, but when I got home and saw all the new cards I got, I was more than just a little happy!!!

But before I show you all my cards, I have to say that I was extremely happy Tin Tin kept his promise. These were Tin Tin's words to me earlier, and I quote:

"Now as promised, my card is wending its way to you complete with bacon dribbled sealant.

Chow for now,

Tin Tin xo"

So when I got Tin Tin's card today, I had to check it out for myself.



yes, YES!! That was definitely sealed with bacon dribbled sealant!!!



These are all the cards I got today!!



They are from Fufu, Kingsley, Joey & Tanner, my man Mackie, Tin Tin, Toby, Joey & Jack, Holly, Herbie, Freda, Marvin, Chelsea, MJ, and Aramis & Carbi!!

THANK YOU ALL!!

This is what my mantel looks like now, and there is still more than half that have yet to arrive!!



These are my Airedale cards!



and THIS, is what my living room looks like now!!

YEEEES.......

*CHRISTMAS IS GOING TO THE DAWGS !!!*
