    Bridge Angels In August 2017

    in Remembrance

    Posted

    Thanks, Ducky, for adding Finn. I still get teary eyed when I think of him and how much his Mom and Dad are missing him. He was only 7, and such a special boy. A wonderful pet sitting client who I would stay with for weeks at a time, for several years. I was supposed to stay with him for 3 weeks this December. :weep

    His family gave me so many things that were his, which makes me smile. I think he would like that---he always liked making people smile. :beatheart

    I Put My Suki To Sleep Yesterday

    I'm so sorry you lost your precious Suki. I know this was a heart wrenching decision for you, but it was made from love. Never pay attention to the sad people who "think you are nuts", or try to diminish the love you shared, and your deep sense of loss at her passing. They are deficient in their souls. :grouphug

    Question For Dewey Vendors

    in 2021 Archive

    Posted · Edited by queenwinniesmom

    Sharon, what hotel are you in? Is everything headquartered at the Sleep Inn? Will tents be there as well? And is that where a lot of vendors are staying?

     

    We haven't been to Dewey since 2011, but I know that some hotels always got a lot more traffic than others. We vended from our room once---I think it was our last year. We were in the Sea Esta 3, and on the 3rd floor, so I know we didn't get as much traffic as others located more conveniently. Of course, we always sold less than everyone else anyway! :lol But we did okay, mostly early on. We just put our stuff on both beds. But some people pushed the beds to one side, or I even saw people who stacked the mattresses against the wall. I guess it would depend on how much merchandise you had. Some people---who clearly made more money than we did---even got another room, and devoted that just to vending.

     

    We just had one small banner, which we put on the railing outside our door. You could see it from below, so I think it helped, but we were also the only ones vending on the third floor. We also taped small signs on the first floor, and in the elevator, and the hotel let us do that. I've found that the more popular vendors can pretty much vend anywhere, and people will find them. We didn't have that luxury, and being new, you probably don't either.

     

    I think the map listing every vendor is a very good---even necessary---idea. People have to be able to find you.

     

    Not sure I understand why Larry's asking some people to vend from their rooms. Is there not going to be a tent? If there is a tent, what difference would it make, other than that if the weather is bad, you'd be inside if you didn't want to take the chance.

    How old is Milo? (Oops, Jen aleady asked that.) And how long have you had him? A newly adopted Grey is likely to have marking issues. A lot of times, a belly band helps with this. Is he an ex-racer? I'm just curious why he wasn't neutered before you adopted him. Most adoption groups will not place an un-neutered or un-spayed dog. And sometimes when a new dog comes into the house, the ones already there might have some dominance issues. Is Milo new or was he there before the other 2?

    In any case, I'd get that guy neutered!

    Laura, even the most beautiful, most eloquent tributes don't always make me cry. Celeste's did. Although at the end of a long life, well lived, and absolutely well loved, the loss of your first Greyhound, the one who started you on this journey, is the most heartbreaking of all. I'm so very sorry you lost your amazing Celeste.

    Oh, Laura, you know I had a huge soft spot for your lovely lady. You and Regan recognized across the miles that there was something very special about her, something quietly but deeply beautiful. And I was ecstatic, because honestly, when I saw her in her cage, I thought, this one really needs a home! That graying face, that owie on her head..... :wub: We were so glad that you were able to instinctively know how sweet she was. I think it was her eyes, kind and gentle, but holding a touch of sadness from everything she had seen and endured. You were her angels, giving her some wonderful years filled with love, the safety of a close family, and of course, lots of good food! Everyone was thrilled to see her so happy. And, oh, the roo..... :beatheart It just doesn't seem fair that you didn't get to have more time together, but you squeezed a lot of happiness into those years!

    I'm so sorry you lost your precious Beatrix.

    Hey, Larry, I'm trying to register, but every time I try to get to the Paypal site, it won't let me. When the little screen comes up, for a split second, I see Continue, then it disappears! Am I doing something wrong? I guess I could pay with a credit card, but I'd prefer Paypal.

    Thanks!

     

    Oops, nevermind! I made the little box full screen, and was able to continue. We're registered! Coming on Wednesday.

    Stan (Bbf Stay Gone)

    I'm crying for you, Tracy. Stan had a way of capturing hearts, didn't he? All he really had to do was look at us with those wise and sensitive eyes, and we were smitten. But no one loved him as much as you did, or understood and appreciated him on such a deep level. How blessed you both were that he chose to share his life with you. Thank-you for sharing him with us as well. He will be so greatly missed. I'm so sorry you lost your precious Stan.
