Going away and need someone to keep an eye on your house, bring in the mail and the paper, and
maybe even watch your pets? Let Shanna do it! I have an open schedule (i.e. I don't work a regular fulltime job), so staying over or making multiple visits per day is no problem. Pets are fine, too - I'm most
experienced with dogs and cats (and love them!), but I can learn how to take care of your other friends
on request. Good for one week's worth of services - but does not have to be redeemed all at once; can
mix and match days to add up to a week anytime before the next auction. Cannot do December 22-25
(but can do Thanksgiving!). Will do anywhere up to an hour's drive from Blacksburg.

For up to one week at a mutually agreed-upon time (could possibly do more than one week) Prefer not
to go more than once a day (although I know some circumstances are special) Where? inside Blacksburg
or within several miles of Blacksburg Times that I already know I won't be available are either April or
May of 2012, and the last 10 days of February, 2012 I'm very familiar with cats and cat boxes. We don't
have a dog. My only experience with dogs is that my husband and I once walked a neighbor's poodle
nearly every day for years. However, if you have friendly dogs I can learn to do more than walk them. I
love birds. Alternatively or as part of pet sitting, could check out your house while you are out of town

While we do encourage everyone to pay and pick up your goods promptly, please remember that our brilliant book keepers are working as fast as they can, so treat them gently! Live Standing Bids
For dinners and other items with multiple seats available, we will be using standing bids. Here is how it works: When you wish to bid on one of these items, please stand up and remain standing as the bidding continues. You may sit down if the bid rises past your limit. Whoever is left standing will be the winner of that item. Hold up fingers to represent the number of seats you are bidding on. Depending on how many seats each bidder wants, there may be more than one winner per item. Silent Reminder
Each individual item is represented by a bid number. However, for simplicity’s sake, some bid sheets may represent more than one item in a lot, if the items are alike or do not have individual descriptions. For these bids, the items will be dispersed according to the quantity the top bidders requested. If you want 2 or more of these items, you must write your bidder number, the quantity you are bidding on, and the amount you are bidding per item. Please enjoy the EVENING!
