Shiba Inu and Nihon Ken forum Christmas exchanges.

So, I kinda jumped the gun a bit and sent out my boxes for the Shiba Inu and Nihon Ken forum secret Santa Christmas exchange things a tad early.  But, since I'm going to AZ soonish, and I have a birthday coming up, I wanted to get that out of the way so I wouldn't be all "OH CRAP I HAVE TO SEND STUFF AND ONE OF THEM IS INTERNATIONAL!" with only two days left or something.

Yep.  Fun.

I tried to pick things I knew Conker, and Juneau and Sasha, all loved so that the recipient dogs wouldn't turn their noses up at anything.  I also accidentally picked all things made in the USA.  I almost never do that intentionally.  (I do avoid things from certain countries and companies though.)
So what ended up getting sent off in the mail today?

To the Shiba recipient:
1 bag of Zuke's Mini Naturals salmon
1 Zuke's Original Z-Ridge (now discontinued)
1 package of Boneys Bonez trachea chews
1 True Chews bully stick

To the Nihon Ken recipient:
1 bag of Zuke's Jerky Naturals salmon
2 Zuke's apple Z-Bonez
1 package of Boneys Bonez trachea chews
2 True Chews bully sticks

I was somehow able to smash all that into two, 8-5/8" x 5-3/8" x 1-5/8" flat-rate boxes.  They were tiny little boxes.  I knew the Shiba items would fit fine but the Nihon items?  I had to rearrange and wiggle them around a bit to make sure they'd all fit into that little box.  I was determined to do so, since going up a box size (or making my own) would tack an additional $30 onto the shipping price and I was not wanting to do that.

I hope the dogs getting this stuff like it all.


Boneys Bonez is a small, local Pacific Northwest company.  They make excellent natural dog chews.
