Thank you everyone!
On December 6th -- the Post Office worker who delivers the mail to our house said to Mommy's Brother-in-Law (who just happened to pull up just as the mail was being delivered) -- "Umm, who are Lassie and Benji?" Mommy's brother-in-law explained how we are the dogs of the house and are exchanging Christmas Cards with other dogs with blogs around the world. And the Post Office Worker said -- "That's cool!!!!"
So far there were only 2 hiccups.
1 card came back marked "Return to Sender" -- and that was because of the Post Office Error; not ours. (We wrote the address correctly, butt the Postal Peeps didn't recognize the names of the dogs for that address, so they returned the card to us.)
And the 2nd "hiccup" was when we committed a SERIOUS Blogville Christmas Card FELONY on another card. See, a Christmas Card came addressed to another blogger's name, butt was addressed to our mailing address. Since there was no return address on the envelope -- WE OPENED THE CARD -- without contacting the Blogville Detective Team. As it turned out -- we already got a Christmas Card from that sender -- so the Card was intended for the other Blogger. We ended up confessing our crime by email to Blogville's Top Cop Sidebite and we emailed the other Blogger to apologize fur opening up their card that NOW had our pawprints all over it! Everyone was very forgiving, and there won't be a trial.
So, here is a picture of our Christmas Cards so far.
(Warning to our friend Frankie -- there are a couple of SnowFreaks that somehow attached itself to Sarge's card. Don't look.)
Hope everyone recognizes their Pawmanship (penmanship) that were on the envelopes of the cards.
We still have some room on the green card collage, so we are hoping a few more cards will come in.
The e-card ones are on the Green Card, some just say "Merry Christmas" and not our name if they didn't write our names in the e-mail.
There is a super special one too. It's from Mommy's sister's family. We were honored to be included on the card from them this year. Last year when Mommy's sister didn't include our names on the card -- it ALMOST cost her being put on Santa's naughty list!
---------------------------------
We still have a few more Christmas Cards to hang up on the wall -- so we will make sure we take an official picture of all the Christmas Cards hanging on the wall closer to Christmas (not just a picture of the name collages.)
Lassie and Benji
P.S. Thanks everyone for the Birthday Wishes last week. It turned out to be a pawsome day!

You are SUCH HONEST Furends to make a Real Confession of the ACCIDENT. We all Know how Furgiving Blogville is so we are not surprised that all is well and No Trial will be required. THAT is just how we are in Blogville.

We had a couple of cards returned too....but the addresses were what on the list so we are not sure what happened. We are up to 83 cards for us as of today and mom and dad 1 :)
ReplyDeleteOur letter box was chockers yesterday and all for us! That's great that the postman thought it was 'cool' that you got so many cards.
ReplyDeleteGlad you owned up to the card and forwarded it. We KNOW that the Peeps would have kept it and hidden the address, just to get their card count up!

DeleteOur mail people are well use to it as we always have problems with packages, Have a wonderful Wednesday.
ReplyDeleteBest wishes Molly
Well, you two are very special dogs. How fun to get all that mail!
ReplyDeleteI always write "Mom & Dad" , rather than their other names, on my parent's envelopes. Apparently their letter carrier always gets a kick out of that.
you guys are really getting some great mail!
ReplyDeleteWhat a neat idea to put everyone's greetings on the cards!
ReplyDeleteHappy belated barkday Benji!
Oops, I meant to say happy barkday Lassie!!!
ReplyDeleteWow, look at all those cards! That's a great collection. Next year we will try to join in the card exchange :-)
ReplyDeleteOh I think I discovered the pawmanship of my mom, she can't write this one "&" so she makes an "8" with a tail on the side.
ReplyDeleteOH! I see Katie's sticker! :) Merry Christmas you guys!
ReplyDeleteHi Lassie & Benji - just wanted to wish you a Merry Christmas & Happy New Year! :-)
