Beautiful! This is the kind of dog that I want! (minus the shedding)

I think you have to have been a member since 10/1/13 to sign up.

 Someone correct me if I'm wrong!

I'd just hate for you to spend all day working on posts if you're still not eligible.

The cut off for the 50 posts was November 1, I believe.

Yes, sorry but you are not eligible this year.  I am also pretty much 100% sure sign ups are not going to be extended.

Also I know it does suck.  I am on a cat site (yep, cat lady I know I know) and I joined like 5 days too late to be eligible for their secret santa (way back in May of this year, they are tough) despite having like 500 posts there now and they wouldn't make an exception for me, which I totally understand but was hard because they are all like 'well, next year!' and I am like oh goody thanks, that's just 12 months away.... 

But yeah, next year.  And we are talking about a spring break boxes santa possibility and stuff too for throughout the year that you wouldbe eligible for if you keep posting!

Yup, we have a pretty strict "no exceptions" rule to prevent trying to make decisions on who gets an exception and who doesn't. Also, I know ladies are dying to get to shopping, so much that Zadi mentioned shortening the sign-up window next year.

Yeah, you have to have been a member since the 1st. (Plus I think if Zadi extended the sign up deadline, someone would go rabid and possibly eat her. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> )

Tweaker, my eldest

Poe, my youngest he's my giant fluff-butt he's frickin huge.

Cargo, my fierce guard dog. Not pictured: Sara my short hair black cat who is the tiniest thing who is scared death of me. She is head over heels in love with my daughter though.

@amdoerr I love your dog!!! I always wanted one like that but it is way to warm here. I had to settle on a bichon frise and a cocker spaniel mixed with King Charles. We also have a bird. So I don't know. My kitchen is animal free and that is where I do all my wrappings. I think a lot of people have animals and the main concern would be not to let our loved pets waddle in the gifts. I don't think anyone would but I think that is the point. Wow 100+!!! I hope it is a good and successful exchange. I have had so much bad luck and am totally looking forward to this. I have to admit I was concerned about getting burned but am taking the leap of faith. I know my SS will be happy if not it won't be from me trying my hardest and me being considerate. Best advice would be for everyone to have fun with it and to be mindful of others feelings. Happy Shopping!! Only one more day!!!

LOL. Well, I was thinking "I can just do my best to keep hair off of everything if nothing else..." But then...I had put my empty pop sugar box on my shelf, thinking I might need it for my secret santa gift. I came upstairs to find that Edgar had climbed up onto the shelf and knocked the box onto the floor (along with several other things, brat...) AND OPENED IT just to sit inside. So much for avoiding hair...haha.

I see your problem: His name is Edgar. This is mine. I have many, many pictures like these. If it's a box, it will become his bed just as soon as he notices it.

 

[izzi917]

well, I was just asking, no need for 50 people to jump down my throat about it.

I only asked because I read somewhere that it might be extended is all.

I guess i'll just have to spend the extra cash on myself, darn.;/

This is my Nessi

About this pet hair thing...I'm wondering if it got blown out of proportion-and before you send the frowny emoticons with pitch forks after me, just continue reading please.

Sure, cat hair makes me sneeze and my eyes water and I get itchy hives. Cat hair makes other members of my family wheeze, and must be medicated-however we are talking cat hairs, like large amounts. For instance petting them, snuggling with them, or having them wave their tail in your face makes us sick.

***I'm guessing if you are a cat/dog owner, you will be very mindful of sending a package without extra hair. I know I am. I have a labradoodle, and she sheds. I am always careful when I'm sending trades to blow out the envelopes/boxes that I use to make sure there are no hairs. I'm sure no one wants to send a package with so much hair that you can't read the labels on the package. A rogue hair is bound to happen and it is ok. Except in food, blah, yak, vomit...Oh and a save the date card I received yesterday in the mail...ick

So, what I'm saying is that I don't want to miss out on the best secret santa of my life even though she may have one pony and two dogs and four cats and six bunny rabbits and two parakeets and three canaries and a green parrot and a turtle, and a silly old hamster!...lol

Anyone understand what I'm saying?

I don't think it was anyone's intention to "jump down your throat"...sometimes these threads move pretty fast and it's hard to keep up with who posted what..I think they were just trying to be helpful /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

 

[jannie135]

Well I have a long haired cat and a pomeranian. Am I supposed to pm Zadi to put me on the pet list?

Also, a lot of us post in our phones, and it's slow typing on those. By the time we get a post pecked out, eight other posts will have been made by people on full keyboards.

Plus people post minutes apart, new posts will appear before someone is even done posting. Nobody meant anything negative by it
