Have you hugged your taxidermist today?
« on: February 12, 2013, 09:51:23 AM »
After reading a thread I'm not going to mention and that we should not resurrect in any way I sent a message to my taxidermist asking for an update on the bull in my avatar since I know my cape is experiencing the recent tannery snafu.  I got a phone call the same day with details that are making me sleep well at night.  Thanks Band's taxidermist. :)

Several taxi's got bit by the same bug.
The things that come to those who wait, may be the things left by those who got there first!

Well I better give a shout out to my guy in the banner at the top of page from Cedar River, hey Rick  :hello:, thanks for everything over the years, you're the best.  Hope all is well with the family.

Today is the anniversary (monthly) of when my taxi took my cape and horns away from me, upon my request of course :chuckle: I have been kept up to date on the progress of my hide/form/horns/etc. I do understand now that having a crappy tannery can really affect business and I do feel for taxidermists that have been put behind by something that is no fault of their own!! My wife has long since authorized the one spot in our house (living room) that will serve as the home to my elkski for years to come and I get anxious if I look at that spot for too long but I know that in the grand scheme of life some things are worth the wait!!
Thanks Charlie!!

Carefull what you wish for, it gets expensive even with a quantity discount.  Dad always said "Fun costs money, how much fun do you want to have?"  You can cross that bridge when you get there, just knock one down and worry about how to pay the bill later.

After getting my bull I had to scramble to alter the design of a cabin we were about ready to build so I could give him a most prominent new home on the wall.  The cabin is now complete and awaiting the bull to come home.  I'll be sure to post a pic when he is in place.  Can't wait. :IBCOOL:

Got mine all hugged up and received hugs in return!
Both mine I have had zero issues with.  Both communicate to me before I get a chance to get a hold of them for updates, changes and so on.  Both are slammed with work but seem to do a great job managing it and their customer service is amazing and I have zero complaints with them.  One is strictly a bird guy and his partner/shop renter mate is mammals and fish only.
