    Re: Good Vibes Needed!!!

    I need a bigger thanks button for that post. Knowing how to read that part of the label is priceless information to me.

    I think Ill be adding a list of shipping questions to ask when I'm talking with sellers from now on. I guess I had had too many good shippers and I got a little complacent. On top of no heat, there also wasn't a required signature so the Fedex guy just left her tucked behind a plant on the corner of the porch and was already walking away when I opened the door.

    Good news though, she's warning up nicely and is starting to move around a bit. I'm keeping a very close eye on her though.

    This help knowing where the package goes (of course there are more central hubs.)

    There are only those two hubs?

    No that's why I wrote that there were more central hubs

    Fort Worth is another one, I believe there is a total of 6.

    Memphis being what they call a SuperHub.

    In my experience most of my packages went through Memphis, after that it's Indianapolis and a few times my packages went through Fort Worth.

    It's been a long day and I just fixated on the pic, my fault. I'll have to lookup the other ones tmrw and see what their codes are. Interesting info for sure

    I'm thrilled to know your girl made it to you ok. I learned the hard way this winter that even with perfect packing and great planning, hub conditions can make or break the final outcome. Please post some pictures when she's thawed out and settled in!

    Re: Good Vibes Needed!!!

    She seems to be doing great. Once she was up to ambient temp I took her out for a quick weight and pic, turned on her hot spot and added her water dish. She took a long drink and settled in over the hot spot. A few hours ago she had moved to the middle of the tub instead of hugging the heat which I'm taking as a good sign. As of now there isn't any wheezing or unusual behavior.

    Here's the one pic I took.
