Saw this in The Seattle Times this morning and had to share:

MINNEAPOLIS – The postal worker was stunned when the package moved by itself and fell to the floor. Then came the sounds of heavy panting.

A refund? Seriously?

At least she sent it "Priority".

Yeah, and at least she was considerate enough to cut air holes in the box -- before she taped them over with packing tape.

I'm very glad the animal was freed safely. I would also like to see "chicks and ducks" enjoy the same treatment.

I used to order live crickets to feed my tarantula and small reptiles. For some reason, the postal delivery person never failed to tell me that it gave her the creeps to hear them.

What a freakin' idiot.

So, tangent, my postal person seriously didn't like me the day she had to deliver three packages of honey bees. We're near the end of her route and she had to hear them buzzing for most of the day. She apparently went home that evening and did some serious damage to a bottle of gin.

Just what every 11 year wants, a dead puppy!
Some animal groups are able to arrange transportation with other dog lovers who are going that way, and willing to foster a pup for the trip.

I thought the buzzing was supposed to occur AFTER the bottle of gin!

Unbeliveable!.. would be nice to let her try "a trip in a box"...

Very glad to hear she was charged with a misdemeanor. Would prefer a felony. Ignorance can be infuriating.

She's probably just mad that the dog didn't get there for the kid's birthday. Reminds me of the kid at my school who ripped the door off a washroom stall. "It wasn't my fault. I was swinging on it and it came off!"

What's that song about "mail myself to you"? She should try it.

OMG! and the clips they showed of her in court....... her 'defense'..... "Well - they said they'd deliver!" and "I put two bottles of water in the box"..... yeah....cuz that puppy has thumbs to open them.

Dear Lord - save us from the plague of STUPID that's overcoming this world!!!!!

I read that she also went back to the post office after being charged and demanded she get a refund for services that were never rendered. They refused and she's threatening to sue. People are unbelievable!

Ain't my dog.
Just searched for an image of a dog in a costume made of a cardboard box.

I hope she wastes a BUNDLE on suing the Post Office, and I hope PETA and the ASPCA and the Post Office countersue her for Conduct Unbecoming Someone Who Is Not Supposed To Behave As If She Has Her Head Up Her Hindquarters.

When I was a kid, I mail ordered a lizard from Florida that came in a box with holes. I was afraid to open it because I had no idea what was in there or whether it would bite me. Boy, was my mother unhappy!
