Neither rain nor snow nor sleet…the petition must go through!

I am so very very very excited!!! A few blog posts ago you will remember the petition my CHOW forum had organized to  rally Chow fanciers to voice their opinion against a breed standard change in the UK.  READ MORE

Well as of today we have 1591 signatures representing 51 countries and gathered those signatures in 7 day’s time. At this point we are leaving the petiton open for more signatures which I can email before the 12/30 deadline.  CLICK FOR PETITON

Snowed in

MY PANDA MAILBOX SAID HE WAS ON STRIKE TODAY

So the next step was to get this petition sent as a hard copy as fast as possible to the UK Kennel Club on Xmas Eve in a record snowfall…with the few drivers what were out on the road……absolutely insane!!

We even tried to get our package to Fed Ex via drainage ditch

WE TRIED FLOATING IT DOWNSTREAM FIRST TO SEE IF FED EX WOULD PICK IT UP AT THE OTHER END..IT GOT HUNG UP ON AN ICEBURG!

Our new courier service

THEN WE TRIED CONVINCING THE HUMMINGBIRD THAT HE WOULD KEEP WARMER IF HE COULD ACT AS OUR CARRIER PIGEON TO TAKE THE PARCEL TO THE UK.  THAT IDEA DIDN’T FLY!!

Neither rain nor snow nor sleet........

SO WE PUT ON THE PARKAS……WELL I LIED…..AFTERALL,  IT’S PORTLAND OREGON….WE LAYERED RAINCOATS AND PUT ON OUR GARDENING GLOVES AND WE HEAD OUT TO THE NEAREST FED EX OFFICE

We made it to Fed Ex through the slippery roads and crazy drivers

YES!!! WE MADE IT!!!!!  HERE ARE ALL THE DOCUMENTS IN A NICE PRESENTATION FOLDER, STUFFED IN OUR “UNDER ONE POUND” ENVELOPE…AND 70.00 LATER WE ARE DONE WITH THIS CHAPTER OF THE PETITION……..NOW WE WAIT!!

THANK YOU ALL ONCE AGAIN FOR ALL YOUR HELP …AND A SPECIAL THANK YOU TO LOVE BANGHART AND BERNICE LEROY FOR YOUR QUICK RESPONSE IN ASSISTING ME AUTHOR THE PETITION AND LETTERS AT SUCH A SPEEDY PACE…AND VANESSA NICOLAU FOR THE VERY CRUCIAL “HEADS UP” ON THE TIME CONTSTRAINTS  TO GET THINGS ROLLING QUICKLY!

    Santa will most definitely put you at the top of his list for next year if he didn’t manage this year. And the Fairy of Luck will be on your sides after having had so many prayers from us to you.
    Thanks for being there for our wonderful Chows
