I am so excited. Yesterday I received an order on our www.giftsfromadistance.com website from a woman in Louisiana. She called because she wanted to make a change for the order. Because she had used our "aye" coupon (type in "aye" at checkout throughout September, and your entire order will be reduced by 10%), I thanked her for shopping with us again. She said she had not shopped with us before but had come to our site through a search engine, saw our link to my blog and decided to see what we were all about. I am so excited - I guess I already said that - can you tell I am excited??
On a different note, you may or may not know but, I donate a portion of my proceeds to charitable organizations. I have this wonderful woman in Texas who is affiliated with All Texas Dachshund Rescue (www.atdr.org) who always buys her gifts from us. She buys, what else...Hot Diggity Dogs! With her last order, I sent her a small donation check but if you live in Texas, you may want to check them out. All Texas Dachshund Rescue is a group of dedicated volunteers whose primary goal is to rescue, rehabilitate and re-home neglected, abandoned, disabled and otherwise endangered Dachshunds throughout the state of Texas. We rescue dachshunds in the Austin, Dallas / Fort Worth, Houston & San Antonio metroplexes, as well as in surrounding areas including Abilene, Corpus Christi, Longview, Midland and San Angelo.
More? I am so full of news today! Our new website, www.girlsofallages.com just became more real. We were just approved for our shopping cart from Visa, MC, AMEX and Discover so, we should have those working sometime next week. Right now we are just accepting PayPal but, that's not all bad because, we still don't have many products out there yet. It is a lot of work to maintain the two sites plus our Amazon offerings.
My mother-in-law, Ann, came home from the hospital yesterday. She had a tumor removed from her colon and is already up and walking around. She will be hiking out sometime soon; I just know it.
My friend, Catou, begins her regimen of radiation and oral chemo. I know you probably don't know her but send her some healthy prayers anyway, please. She is a beautiful, inside and out, woman.
The dogs are getting restless so, I guess I am late on their walks. Still doing separates until who knows when...but we are all getting better. We are going to get Jack the "zapper" collar to control his kitty chasing urges and River and I are signed up for obedience bootcamp. I am determined to win a prize at an AKC event with him. He is perfect when we practice in the house - do you think I can talk the AKC into holding an event in our kitchen? As soon as we are outside, he has short-term memory lapse.
That's it for now. Thank you in advance for your prayers.
Namaste and hugs,
terry
