I shipped an elephant to Turbo Dog a couple of weeks ago. If you didn’t receive it, let me know. ---

Woo-Hoo\*\* It’s not really your elephant, but my official elephant hasn’t been heard from since it took off, and there were so many little elephants sulking and waving their trunks demanding to travel that ts arranged for me to send a second box. > [@](#): > > Lots of good stuff including: > > Chew toys and dog sweater > books and even better books on tape > some really cool antique cuttlery > dish towels > and moist toweletts > > Thanks Juli! \*\* Enjoy!

Hmmmmm, the person I sent an elephant to recieved it (he told me in an email) but hasn’t posted. I guess he is busy or still totally freaked out by the contents. 😃 But Poor little Aye still has no elephant. ☹ However I do have more stuff I can send to someone else. \ ---

I’m so glad it finally got there! I was begining to think he got lost along the way. Be sure to let me know when you listen to the tape, I have no idea what’s on it. I found it in the crawlspace to my room in my apartment when I moved in, I never listened to it. I’m as surprised as you are 🙂 The dog was my favorite part of the package, I bought it a few months back because it was really cute. I never used it more than twice. It barked the whole time it was sitting in my living room. Enjoy your treasures 🙂 ---

Bunnygirl did hers–I posted her grateful account of the contents under my own name, since she’s taking a break from the boards. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/the-much-shorter-i-got-my-elephant-thread/84354.md?page=6)
