Posted - May 17 2011 : 2:15:20 PM So I was thinking why not have a swap for our little four legged friends, our pals with paws who love us unconditionally! I thought we could make or buy little gifts for our furry friends ex. treats (baked or bought), embellished collars or bandanas, toys (home made or bought), etc…
If you wish to participate please let me know the following: 1. How many pets you wish to include? 2. What they are (cat, dog, etc)? 3. Male or Female? 4. Pet’s Name? 5. Pet's Size (small, med, large)? 6. Your favorite colors? 7. Your style? 8. How many pets you wish to swap with? 9. If you prefer to swap with a particular animal (cat only, dog only, etc)?
Signups will be open until May 27th, I’ll post partners May 28th and swaps should go out by June 18th.
I think this makes a puuurrrfect swap! Heehee!
ok ladies, its the moment we've been waiting for...partners!!! Kate...Teresa Patricia...Peggy Debbie...Ginny Diane...Michele Danielle...Rejina Let's do it up GOOD!!! FUN FUN FUN!!!
Farmgirl hugs & kisses, <3 Kate #2958

Right now Baby kitten Monk is afraid of the hot pink feather toy she sent...lol....it's bigger than him but I know once he checks it out & it doesn't bite him he will enjoy playing with it.....the chicken treats will be a big hit as my kids love their treats!...again thank you dear hen....Michele'

Posted - Aug 23 2011 : 5:40:25 PM My dear Diane, I am soooo sorry for some reason I thought I had done this with Diana, & yes you did everything right...you emailed me about the hat & somehow I forgot we were the 4 legged swap team...so please please forgive me for sticking my foot in my mouth....like you its been a h@ll of a month or so for me as well & I think I confused you..Diane with a Diana....so everyone please know that I am in the wrong here about the 4 legged swap & that this one, Diane keeps her word plus does beautiful hats to boot...xoxo humbly yours....Michele'

Posted - Aug 23 2011 : 4:25:43 PM Michele, I am sorry about the misunderstanding. I e-mailed you a thank you. I have sent yours with your hat and I thought you understood that is what I was going to do. I feel really bad that your feelings are hurt. I think you will be OK, once you get your package. I have always made good on my swaps, but with the Western Trip and my DS's wedding and the gardening I got a little behind. I loved your package that you sent and the doggies did too! I also appreciate your patience for your hat. I three to do all at once and got overwhelmed after my trip and how much my garden had suffered. I do apologize deeply.

Posted - Aug 23 2011 : 12:56:34 PM Oh ladies, how sad that the swaps were not what you hope or expected, I am so very sorry. I have had swaps too that did not go well for me but fortunately this one did. My biggest disappointments have been 2 of my Secret Sisters Swaps, but I love that swap it is my favorite so I keep doing it. The past two have certainly made up for the two that went wrong:-) I swapped with Ginny and we were both so happy with each other and our swaps. Did a personal on my own swap with Michele and she too was a wonderful swap partner, she made each of my doggies and doggie bed and sent treats and toys, of course Michele never fails to disappoint. But, like you ladies I have decided to only do swaps with farmgirls I know who are in it 100%. Farmgirl Hugs, Debbie

Posted - Aug 23 2011 : 12:46:22 PM Michele...I am totally angry about this Swap myself. For me it is kinda about the $ I spent on this swap. I went all out but never got anything from my swap partner and even the Hostess of this Swap has not returned my latest email. I don't expect my swap partner on here to match me dollar for dollar...but to receive nothing...makes me upset. As you can see I have been a farmgirl for awhile and I have done many swaps...but none has gotten under my skin as bad as this one. I think it is the rudeness of NOT getting any response.
What a Four Legged FLOP this was.

Posted - Aug 23 2011 : 12:37:42 PM has anyone heard from diane lately...i sent out her package & never heard back...since she had dogs & I don't I had to go out & buy things for her & am just wondering if I got blown off or that she didn't like the gifts for her dogs......or if she is sick....I am unhappy cause I did the dish drainer quilt & also haven't gotten anything from that as well...I am thinking I will have to quit doing this except for the ones i know & have had great trades/barters with......its not about the money or time but I get so excited to do these & when I do my part & the other doesn't I get sad over it like I am not worth the effort, yes I have been slow myself but I try to get the things out & request they don't send anything back....or I try to remember to email them.....anyway this hen is blue:(....Michele'

Posted - Jun 22 2011 : 03:39:53 AM I got the most amazing basket of goodies from Kate!! She baked these delicious smelling dog biscuits for Sawyer.. Sweet & Savory! He barely even chews on them... he is determined to swallow them as fast as he can!! She sent wonderful smelling bath wash with a scrubber mit... MY favorite (Sawyer just looks at me like... "oh no!!") This really funny ball that has a mustache on the end of it.. still trying to get a picture of him with the ball in his mouth!! He keeps holding it by the mustache!! Oh! and a rope bone that is surprisingly still intact!! Sawyer's toys don't tend to last very long!! (I can't imagine why??!!) Thanks Kate for such a beautiful basket of goodies for Sawyer!

Posted - Jun 18 2011 : 07:28:08 AM Ginny, I was able to get a couple of cute pics of the girls enjoying their raw hides. So that is Holly the little one with the pink bows right in front, I can not believe she posed for me. Then Bella the black one, Heidi the red on the right then our Gracie girl in the middle of all the little ones. Farmgirl Hugs, Debbie

Posted - Jun 17 2011 : 9:32:51 PM My boys & girls goodies arrived today and they all LOVE the generous treats and toys! I've never seen croissants for bunnies!! Oggie thinks they are amazing! He will probably be sitting under the table every time we eat now for those treats! My cats were playing all night with the balls and while I haven't given them the catnip mice yet I have to say, those mice are darn cute! Even Mom got treats and I can't wait to try the Orange tea! But I have to say, I really loved the card Debbie! It's so on the mark as to what is going on in my life right now! Here's all the goodies they got in the mail today!

Posted - Jun 17 2011 : 4:55:19 PM Hello Ginny, my 4 legged kids say thank you so much for all their treasures, they love everything and of course you sent all their favorites. They really loved the iced cookie lobster so cute and obviously delicious. The rawhides, tennis balls and surf's pup toy all so cute, Gracie (our Golden) will pose later with the goodies (minus the lobsters) as I can not get the doxies to sit still long enough for a picture to often. Hopefully your kids goodies will arrive soon. Thank you again. Farmgirl Hugs, Debbie

Posted - May 28 2011 : 4:00:23 PM Kate, I will take any furry friend and folks with many or one, it's up to you. I have 12 girls (chickens) besides Oggie (and 2 cats but I didn't mention them). Sorry it took awhile to get back here. My sis in law fell, broke her ankle in three places. So now both she and my hubby are in "boots" so my brother in law and I have our hands full! Never a dull moment in life!

Posted - May 24 2011 : 7:00:31 PM Thanks Ladies, We'd be happy to have you here in Central Pa. We have a creek at the bottom of our farm property where we camp. Come on over!
We've decided to have a Cousin's Camp this summer and invite all the kids (2nds and 3rd cousins included) to come and play for a week at the barn. So many city kids need a good animal hug, lick, and even maybe a kiss and a peck. ;o)
This is gonna be so fun! Rejean
