Snicker Wednesday....A Postal Story


Several weeks ago, Frankie and Ernie emailed to say they were sending a pretend 'rock' for Bella.
We were on the look out for it.

Then a large (Chewy box) arrived and we opened it.
That was Roxy's Easter parcel.

We emailed F n E to say it arrived, and they said 
there was another on the way for Roxy for Easter.
(Are you following this?)

The original package hadn't arrived.
Yesterday, we found it in our letter box
with a sticker on it!

 Inside was a leaflet stating....
 And it contained a letter to explain that the plastic 'rock' would float, so maybe Bella 
play with it at the river instead of real rocks.
They felt sorry that she had to wait for someone to throw
rocks for her.
 They said it would float, and it does.
 We'll try it out on Saturday in the river, in a calm part where
 the current won't take it.

Bella checked it out.
We're not sure what the result will be as Bella
is very particular about the size of rock and
where it lands, but we'll let you know.
Thanks guys!
(We think our name might be on record
 on the Customs computers.)

  1. Australia Customs are very strict. They confiscate anything that looks the slightest bit 'suspicious'.

  7. Glad the rock made it past inspection by the government. But the true test will be does it pass Bella's inspection!

  17. It is good to know the officials are on top of keeping the toxic rocks out of the country. We are glad yours got through. Enjoy.

  18. Whew, it would really be worrisome if that plastic rock didn't pass inspection:)

    Hope it works for Bella.

    The birthday post actually showed up this morning in Feedly, a wee bit behind schedule:)
