Could use some good vibes here...

5. the shipper stood us up.

He sent a facebook message claming there is bad weather, and claiming he's had a hard time getting hold of me.

My phone shows every call that comes in, whether I'm able to answer or not. No incoming calls. I sent him an email this morning -- no answer.

I did a reverse phone lookup -- he's based in Prince Edward Island and the weather is fine there, in New Brunswick and all the way to Maine.

So he's a liar. The good news is the breeder said she'll ship herself for the same price after New Years. She's a little embarrassed at this point for having recc'ed him.

In the meantime, I'm totally ready for her to arrive. Extra hay came in this afternoon. Stall is ready. Everything is ready and waiting.
