In light of the Secret Santa thread, it's time for the 5th annual FT Santa Paws exchange, where FTers' pets sent presents to each other, much like the Secret Santa exchange.

I'll organize it again this year, as I had great fun learning about FTers' furbabies!

If you want to participate, send me a PM with:

1. Your Name
2. Number of pets "participating"
3. Pet name(s) and species
4. Your email address
5. Mailing address for your pet(s)
6. Toys they like,
7. Treats they like and any allergies or restrictions they have with regard to treats
8. Neck measurement (for collars)
9. Any other information you wish to share that is interesting.

"Suggested" value, around $20/pet, not including shipping. I'll send our assignments by November 19, please ship presents by December 15.

Thank you for stepping up to do this again this year!

Chai enjoys shopping for her furry Santees and still plays with toys she received from her Santas. We've also discovered some new treats that she likes along the way too.

Ziggy, Gunter and Hazel Want to participate again!!!


Ziggy and Hazel are Dachshunds Gunter is a Basset

Gunter doesn't like toys but loves things to eat and fuzzy blankets and his Crate he is a big guy 80lbs

Ziggy loves warm things to burrow into, is a Med in sweaters and he hates the rain/snow/wind/hurricanes Etc...... He is most happy under a blanket on the couch by the heater he is about 15lbs Not too much of a toy dog but loves his Comfort critter he got last year and NinjaCat they make a strange noise

Hazel is a love bug. She loves to curl up on laps like a donut, she is 12lbs wears a size small and is very long. She loves comfort critters and any duck toys, loves Milk bone biscuits and honestly any treats. She likes smaller stuffed things she can chase

We usually share treats between all 3 so Medium sized are good.... This is our 5th time doing Santa Paws the pups and us really enjoy it!

Last call for participation!

I'm in, didn't know this thread was up"

So, I might want to extend the deadline by a day or two?

Chai is going to bow out this year. Our Dec schedule is shaping up to be logistically unpredictable and we honestly don't know where we'll be and when. No point sharing the stress.

Any update or projections when assignments will go out? Just received my Secret Santa assignment and itching to shop.

They should go out in the next day or two. Waiting for at least one more person to submit their pet's info.

I'll send assignments out later today or early tomorrow! I'm just back from a trip to FCO, so I'm a bit delayed in organizing things.

Assignments were sent out. Sorry for the delay, but jet lag has kicked my behind this week!

Amazon is having a lightning deal on Petco $50 gift card starting tmrw...I believe 8:30am (or 8am for Prime) EST.

Thank you!

Generalissimo Geno and Empress Cobaka received a large box from Chewy.com on Monday. I'm lucky they didn't break the window to get at the box while it was on the porch, as it contained Geno's favorite treats in large supply, a toy for him, and then a Nerf toy gun for Empress Cobaka's amusement at the dog park!
