Thanks Jim!  Your post made a lot of sense.  Other then my time, I am not out any money.  Having the rescue there was a bit confusing and unexpected.  I addressed this tonight with the store owner, I think we are good for the holidays.  
All said and done, it really was a good learning experience.  I can definitely improve upon it!  I will be doing it again!  
You pros make it seem so easy, I forget that this is my first run through with this type of stuff and I seek the perfection I see in all of you.  Thanks for comments and words of wisdom.
