Just checked: BeeGee last posted in September.

Anyone got any idea what's going on with him?

Anyone know how to contact the Bee Gee, because I got concerned SMS messages from Miss Raffe and I am worried.

Bee Gee hasn't posted since September. I'd suggest someone check to see what's going on.

I am getting seriously worried about the further travels of Miss Raffe, let alone her health.
Does anyone have the possibility to contact Bee Gee please?
Your help will be extremely appreciated.
Thank you.

If money is an issue, feel free to PM me thanks.

Does anyone have BeeGee's contact details, and if you do, could you please maybe send a quick note?

Are there any honest people still left?

Sigh.
Goodbye Miss Raffe - you were a real sport and will be missed a lot.

So did this start in 2014 or earlier? Seems like a pretty good run overall.

Honestly, I worry that we may have lost BeeGee. I sent a few cards and nothing. She was always so responsive, and I feel like she wouldn't flake out and not send Miss Raffe along. When I was first diagnosed with cancer, well, diagnosed again, she sent me lovely teas and a beautiful shawl. I lost the shawl to my mom, who loves it and wears it every cool day, so I get to look at it.

But yeah, I've worried about BeeGee for a long time now. I really hope she lost track of sending Miss Raffe and is embarrassed. No judgement, girlfriend, we just want you back.

I believe the Tales of the Traveling Ungulates began back in 2011 when jali sent out a mystery package

That giraffe quickly disappeared and a couple of months later jali sent out another one

That one lasted for several years. Many Raffers took part and added their own contributions to the box. Jali collected a lot of the threads here; those threads include lots of great photos.

Eventually that package disappeared as well. JimNightshade restarted the tradition with Miss Raffe. I was fortunate enough to accompany Miss Raffe on a road trip two years ago; my photos are in this thread along with other adventures involving Miss Raffe.

I forgot to mention that Peeking Duck sent yet another package of stuffed animal travelers out into the world after Miss Raffe disappeared for a while. That chapter of the tale begins with post 291 in this thread

This started in 2011, then the first package got lost pretty quickly:

https://www.giraffeboards.com/showthread.php?t=17123

Then jali started it up again in the thread referenced above by Rock and as noted things turned into two packages and now we're not sure where any of them are!

Thank you to the kind person looking for Bee Gee with their various resources. I don't know if they want to be outed, but I'm so appreciative. Raffers rock.

I wanted that moosie SO BAD. So cute! Plus that real Cadbury candy!

For anyone reading that thread and wondering, I reached out via very kind postcard and got Miss Raffe back. Always wanted to toot my horn on that a little.

It's been almost a year since we heard from BeeGee. I fear the worst.

Should we start a new adventure with new Rafferarians?

If you do, I think someone else needs to buy the raffes and send them to Jim. It might help.

I still have my two travellers. No one volunteered to take them next.

Flying Saucerian, the two travellers C2H5OH has, with the offer to send on, do not include the Ms/Miss Raffe (Jim uses both titles) that Jim is looking for and lamenting.

These different raffes come and go, and I love them all.

Yes, but since Ms. Raffe is apparently unavailable, the other two will have to do, it seems.

Dear Miss Raffe,
I miss you. Hope you are hanging in there.
Soon, you will surely come home.
Love you,
Jim.
