The long-awaited, newest, Forest Dwellers, by Whispering Grass, finally arrived today.
There's Mr. & Mrs. Khitrula Fox, and a Ginger Raccoon girlfriend for my Smuzhka

They were actually a "Missed Delivery". Yesterday they arrived in Richmond BC, and went through Customs. Then overnight they flew to Toronto and were sent to our local Post Office. I thought they'd be delivered either today or tomorrow - probably today.
But I had a lot of transplanting to do out on the porch, and the mail 'never' gets delivered in the morning, so I figured we were safe being out there where we couldn't hear the doorbell. After finishing the planting, I went to check tracking to see if they were "Out for Delivery" yet, and it said "Missed Delivery". Oh no!! Like, when does our mail lady ever deliver a package in the morning?!?!?
Well, a little while later we had to go out, and I thought to take the Missed Delivery slip, just in case we spotted the mail lady on our way out of the subdivision. And sure enough, she was parked right around the corner up the next street. She said she was sure we were home, since our car was on the driveway, but no one answered the door.
Anyway, we got the package and went on our way. When we got home I unpacked the three of them. The foxes both came with some lovely light blue glass eyes, but I thought they made them look too "foxy", so I switched one of them to a brown acrylic instead. What a difference that made! I think the brown-eyed one will be the guy...

The Raccoon came with some yellow glass eyes. The package said they were 12mm, but the iris filled the entire eyehole, and was considerably wider than all my other 12mm eyes. So I put in some light brown 12mm eyes that came with an Iplehouse BID years ago....
As I was taking photos, the blue-eyed fox was always trying to get the attention of her guy.....
