Things made/sent that are obviously not worth sending or were made with no love and care. Don't send or make something you wouldnt like to receive yourself.

I dont have any allergies (as far as i am aware of).But I dont like cinnamon flavor or smelling things. I also dont like mint chocolate, though i can stand both by themselves.

Also, as much as I love coffee & the smell of it, I am not able to drink it without getting sick so please dont send any since I will most likely drink it anyways and get sick lol

Cecilia: American short hair tan/white cat, she's 4 years old and likes to spend her time indoors but as of recently she has discovered the wonderful world of our backyard and has aquired the bad habit of bringing everything she finds into the house. She loves attention and is a very vocal kitty, especially when she's sleepy and wants someone to take a nap with her.

Chester-Boy: American long hair tabby, he is Cecilia's older brother by a few minutes. He is an undecisive kitty that doesnt know if he wants to be outside or inside, though he spends most of his time outside. He is a huge cuddler and loves cat treats and anything turkey flavor! Poor chester-boy gets teased and annoyed a lot by cecilia who is the most playful, but what can he do..she's his little sister!

Annabel: A white chihuahua-terrier mix. She is the adopted one of the bunch and has somehow become my parent's 3rd child. She is spoiled to the core, a chubster and has her aggressive moments. She enjoys dressing up and going to the dog park. She also goes crazy for anything that squeeks.

Penelope: Maltese-Poodle. She is our newest addition to our family. She may not be the sharpest tool in the shed but she is a fluffball full of fun energy. She's simply a crazy dog. She will play with whatever she can get her paws on.

FOR PET SWAPS: My cats dont really play with cat toys since the dogs usually destroys them within a matter of minutes nor do they wear collars since they loose them rather quickly. They do enjoy cat treats though! Any flavor, especially sea food and turkey. They're not fans of catnip but do like to play with feathers.

If I join a pet swap of some sort I am mostly interested in getting dog items. They both enjoy squeeky toys, especially toys they can both play tug-of-war with. I prefer unstuffed toys or very durable toys since they last longer. They wear size Medium and Large. They eat any types of treats, especially raw-hide bones.
