Ok, I know that the talented Jan will be bringing some doggie bling, but what about poor untalented souls?  What type of items should we bring?  All rattie items, doggie items, how much is too much, how much is just being cheap????  I just started thinking about packing.  That means the actual pack will be Friday.  I'm a bit of a procrastinator, but I don't want to be slack on the donation item.  Any suggestions?

Just wander through a pet store or pet dept in any store.  Any price range is OK.  Nobody will judge what people bring.  I picked a real cute doggie food bowl and a coffee mug for owners.  I think they'll get some bids.  Let what kinds of things you would buy for yourself and your own fur kids be your guide when choosing.   That's the very kind of stuff others will be willing to bid on, too.  Remember, it is a raffle for Ratbones fundraising.  If YOU like something doggie, odds are others will, too. 

Thanks for the advice.  I am headed out to the Pet store today!  I'm getting so excited!!!

That's a neat item!  Jim loves Vidalia onions on his hamburgers, in potato salad, you name it. LOL

I found some really cute ceramic dog bowls packaged as a set for food & water that were on the "mark down table" at Walgreen---they are adorable!  Also picked up a set of kitchen towels that have an embroidered dog bone and a doggie on them.

Hey---I LOVE vidalia onions!!!  That might be my first choice to bid on!

I found a really cute ceramic dog and water bowl...it is shaped like a doggie bone. 

My husband loves Vidalia onions as well!  We eat them in everything when they are in season.  Hmm gonna need more Jamboree money.

hahahahaha!  Kim - you jest ain't rite, wooman!

I'm a last minute packer so no tub required.  LOL.  That is the first I have heard someone use a tub. Whatever works.

Paula -- she's obviously a redneck! LOL (It's a first for me too! I'm snortin' out loud here!)

Well we are both located in Georgia so maybe one day I will be a "Tub Packer".

Kim,

So when the tub is full is it time for Jamboree?  If yes, fill it up fast I am ready to go.

I think we all have our little things we do that no one else does.  Hmmm wonder what mine is.

I know I should have steered towards something different, but this is a really adorable bowl.  I couldn't resist, wish I could cuz it wasn't cheap at all!  Hey Kim, my hubby used to put his dirty clothes in the garden tub instead of the hamper.  He said they were too dirty for the hamper.  I put a stop to it because it was kind of an eye sore in an otherwise lovely tub! But, yea it's a wasted space.  Hardly ever gets used.
