Shipped AFTER They Should've Arrived

Ever had to yank pillow fluff from between the teeth of a hyperactive Standard Poodle puppy? I have! And believe me, it is not as fun as it sounds.You see, Poodles are supposed to be the second most intelligent dog breed, fronted only by Border Collies. Most authorities on dog breeds agree on this, and I did hours of research before choosing a Poodle as the best dog for my family. Knowing how brainy these dogs are supposed to be, I have high expectations for my pup. But even after living with her for more than 3 months I can't figure this dog out. Did the intelligence gene skip her generation? Or is she so supremely smart that she's learned she can do what she wants because she's convinced me she's a complete idiot?This little (genius) knucklehead has decided that the fluff inside throw pillows is tasty and fun to play with. It didn't take long before a small, inch-long hole in the seam of one of my old throw pillows became a gaping gash running nearly the pillows' entire length. We put the pillow where the little (genius) knucklehead couldn't reach it. It took even less time for her to figure out that (A) there were three more pillows for her to tear into and (B) she was growing very quickly so eventually she was able to reach the pillow's hiding place.The fluff was everywhere. Between couch cushions. Next to her food bowl. In her crate. In my bathroom. She didn't tear into all the pillows at the same time and leave a cloudy mess in one room. Oh, no. She knows she's a Poodle, and she's supposed to be smart, and a mess such as that is a job best left to a much lesser breed. A French Bulldog, perhaps or a Chihuahua. A creature of such grace and intelligence as a Standard Poodle would never leave behind evidence of her appetite for destruction. Instead, she scattered little clues in various places in my home so I might think she was up to shenanigans, but I wouldn't have any hard evidence to prove it.As clever as any Standard Poodle may be, we humans are twice as much. And so my plan for out-foxing my Poodle was simple: get new pillows. I opted for pillow covers over inserts, thinking if I saw so much as a frayed thread in one of the covers I'd be able to replace it quickly and cheaply before the pesky Poodle could sink her teeth into it and rip out its fluffy guts. I found what I wanted, and when I went to check out I made sure I wouldn't have to wait long for the shipment, and some relief, to arrive.The covers came a day early, but the day I was supposed to get these inserts, nothing. The day after, nothing. Finally, I got an email the next day saying the inserts had not yet shipped. It took two more days before the pillow inserts were finally at my door. And so what was supposed to be a two-day wait turned into five days. Three extra days of finding soggy, puffy balls of fluff in precarious locations.The pillows themselves are fine. Just what I ordered, exactly as described. But the delay in shipping put a huge, cottony damper on what was supposed to be a relaxing Thanksgiving break away from my extended family.
