Subject: Diamond Foods - Chicken Soup rocks

I just want to spread the word and express gratitude to the Diamond Petfood Company - "Chicken Soup for the Dog Lover's Soul".
My rescue, NorCal Boxer Rescue will be participating in a Pet Faire this Saturday. I decided to offer up homemade dogfood that I make for my own kids. In our own minds we are "world famous" and "gourmet" (Mack and Lulu said so!)
I sent out 5-6 emails to premium petfood companies asking for sample bags to hand out. My 'scheme' was to give away free samples to draw people to our booth. Most didn't reply, some said "hope you do well but we receive so many of this type request - we cannot be involved". Diamond Foods 'Chicken Soup for the Dog Lovers Soul' sent me a very positive response, has kept in contact with me over the past month and set up a 'meet and hand off of samples' for today.
I was so grateful for their participation, I followed the Regional Sales Manager's phone calls and emails for the drop off. I let him know if he couldn't reach me, he could drop off at the gate where we live - also gave him my daughter's address and phone number. He was expected at 3 PM.
I was dealing with computer stuff but made sure I was not online (dial up) by 2 PM.
Sure enough I was online before 2:00 ......got off to check my phone messages and had one from Lloyd the sales manager of Chicken Soup. He sounded upset, told me he was at my daughter's place (kisses for my son-in-law who works at home) and unloading my samples.
Lloyd who is based 3 hours away from me had gotten a message from home - his Mother-in Law who is in hospice care at his home was dying........
He came the rest of the way over to my area and dropped off 24 cases of "Chicken Soup" samples (30 per box = 720 samples) at my daughter and son-in-law's house.
Chicken Soup Rocks and has not been involved in the latest petfood fiasco.
I think I need a dolly when I unload these samples at the Pet Faire on Saturday!
Lloyd from Diamond Foods is the kind of employee all companies need!
