September 2005 - LITTLE SHOP NEWS
Welcome to the September 2005 edition of LITTLE SHOP NEWS.
FIRST of all, we want to send our thoughts and prayers out
to all those affected by Hurricane Katrina.
Speaking of which, Katrina has also had an effect on UPS
shipping. Here is a notice specifically regarding Flint
River, but would most likely pertain to anything being
shipped into these areas.
UPS states that no shipments can be delivered at this time
to the following zip codes:
Louisiana:
70001 TO 70499, 70525, 70570, 70586, 70512, 70535, 70584,
70701 TO 70899
Mississippi:
39042 TO 39157, 39201 TO 39699
Florida:
32501 TO 32598, 32454, 32439, 32459
Alabama:
36015, 36401, 36501 TO 36590, 36720 TO 36786, 36030 TO
36038, 36420 TO 36483, 36601 TO 36695, 36901 TO 36925
This list may not be all-inclusive, but it is the
information that UPS provided on August 30, 2005.
Deliveries to the areas surrounding the above zip codes may
also incur delays.
UPS cannot indicate when delivery will resume, and any
packages to these zip codes that were already en route will
be delayed with no guaranteed delivery time.
We are really feeling it for our friends and relatives in
the South, and hopefully we can lighten the mood a little
with a funny little bit in honor of Southerners. We know
them, we love them… and heck some of us ARE them.
YOU KNOW YOU ARE FROM THE SOUTH WHEN…
Only a Southerner knows the difference between a hissie fit
and a conniption fit, and that you don't HAVE them, you
PITCH them.
Only a Southerner knows how many fish, collard greens,
turnip greens, peas, beans, etc., make up "a mess."
Only a Southerner can show or point out to you the general
direction of "yonder."
Only a Southerner knows exactly how long "directly" is. For
example: "Going to town, be back directly."
Even Southern babies know that "Gimme some sugar" is not a
request for the white, granular sweet substance that sits
in a pretty little bowl in the middle of the table.
Only Southerners grow up knowing the difference between
"right near" and "a right far piece." They also know that
"just down the road" can be 1 mile or 20.
Only a Southerner both knows and understands the difference
between a redneck, a good ol' boy, and po' white trash.
No true Southerner would ever assume that the car with the
flashing turn signal is actually going to make a turn.
A Southerner knows that "fixin" can be used as a noun, a
verb, or an adverb.
Only Southerners make friends while standing in lines. When
we're "in line," we talk to everybody!
Southerners know grits come from corn and how to eat them.
Only true Southerners say "sweet tea" and "sweet milk."
Sweet tea indicates the need for sugar and lots of it -- we
do not like our tea unsweetened. "Sweet milk" means you
don't want buttermilk.
And a true Southerner knows you don't scream obscenities at
little old ladies who drive 30 MPH on the freeway. You just
say, "Bless her heart" and go your own way.
For those that are not originally from the South but have
lived there for a long time, ya'll need a sign to hang on
ya'lls front porch that reads "I ain’t from the South but I
got here as fast as I could."
Bless your hearts; ya'll have a blessed day.
If that didn’t cheer you up, maybe this will warm your
heart. This is a link to an unbelievable story about a dog
that never forgot the way “Home.” The story is too long to
reprint here, but it’s worth a read, so please check it out

You know, I was just looking over our large supply of items
here at the Little Shop and I noticed some cool things I
haven’t featured in the newsletter. Now, you might not
think of Home Décor as exciting and fun, but hey, who
doesn’t need one more thing around the house that reminds
them of their beloved little Yorkie? I know I love to reach
for a book and see a cute little Yorkie staring up at me,
and that’s why I recommend you take a look at our Yorkie
Bookends. The VERY cool thing about these is they come
fully decorated to represent different seasons. You can
order Spring bookends, or Summer, Autumn or Winter.

And speaking of home décor, don’t forget about our little
Yorkie Statue. So lifelike, your little terror might just
make friends with it!! At 13 inches tall, it expertly
depicts the Yorkie with professional sculpting and hand
painted detail. These statues are a high quality poly-resin
and durable for indoors and out. Perfect as a gift for the
dog lovers on your list.

Terrors
***We need to give a heads up to the folks who use HONEST
KITCHEN products. You will notice an increase of $1 to $3
per food product. Treats and supplements will not change.
This is the first increase EVER for Honest Kitchen, but is
needed due to the increased cost of ingredients and
shipping. Thanks to our loyal customers for understanding.
If you subscribe to the Little Shop News and you shop at
the Little Shop of Terrors, then you MUST have a little
terror of your own, right? And if you are like every other
Terror Wrangler we know, then you must have a story or two
that others might find humorous, or at the very least a
story that will make others realize maybe THEIR terror
isn’t as bad as YOUR terror and they’ll feel sorry for you.
Heck, maybe it wasn’t even a BAD thing your terror did;
maybe it was a cute thing. We don’t know, but we’d sure
like to hear about it.
Here’s a chance for your little terror to be famous. Please
send us a story or two, tell us what makes your dog a
“terror” and we’ll print a new story each month in the
newsletter. Email - info@littleshopofterrors.citymax.com
