Title: So are you ready to try another round of Treat Boxes?
Post by: Barb on May 24, 2007, 07:00:21 PM
The first two rounds we did one letter and it took several years to finish up.  The third round we did multi letters with about 6-7 names on each letter.   It still took a year or so to finish.

If you are interested in joining in - please IM or e-mail me your information:
Name
Mailing Address
Puppers names and weight (or good guess) - in case someone wants to try to "dress" you !!!!

Start gathering the goods now - so when your turn comes - you will be ready and can turn the box around - Woo Hoo - puppers LOVE getting the boxes....errrrr....mom and dads do too   :thumb:

Here is how it works -
I will gather the names, put together the letters and send the letter to the first name on the list.  That person will put together a box and send to the second name on the list.  It will be announced that a box is coming - but no one will know to whom !!!!!  A copy of the letter will be in the box - so the person receiving the box will send to the next name...and so on.  The last name on the list will send to the original sender of the box (first name on the list). 

I think multi letters work better - it should go faster and if everyone is ready or semi-ready - we should get through all the names in a couple months.

If you are interested in being a starter person - let me know !!!

Let the Treats begin !!!

Count us in!  And I'd be glad to start another one!  What about having one set be for people who like to collect when they know who they're shopping for, so they won't feel really pressured into sending it off within a week?  Maybe that set could be a 2-3 weeks from receiving to sending off, and then the rest could be full speed ahead - with about a week from receiving to sending off?  I still like the groupings by number of puppers, though...

Yeay we are all for a new treat box.  :apls:

How about also listing a puppers collar size in inches so we can shop for collars, and also body length and girth (all in inches) for wardrobes and whatnot? Also how about the parents size (S, M, L etc?)

Hallie sez she wears a size "Friesian" in horse! Hee.  :wink:

What did you mean about the grouping of puppers in numbers Julia, you mean having the single furchildren send to other single furchildren, double to double etc?

Yes, DD, I think if you already have 3 or more furkids, that it is easier to buy for multiple dogs, and for those with one or two to buy for those with one or two doglets.

My e-mail has gone beserk - some sort of BETA AOL nightmare that won't let me check my e-mail. 

Our info is as follows:

The Herd
C/O Karen Hening-Speedone
3407 Menlo Drive
Baltimore, Maryland 21215

Guinness - 12 years old - 7 pound smooth red
Merlin the Magician - 4 years old - 19 pound smooth dapple
Dr. Beau Leaky - 4 years old - 19 pound smooth black and tan

Don't send any e-mails, just post to the board until I figure out how to get out of AOL hell.  :BangHead:

Karen

We want to be in on this again. And Roberta, it was really cool getting a box from Australia last year! Things like treat boxes makes having international members lots of fun! I'll send my email in the morning. Gotta get a measuring tape out and find two dogs that are awake!
