Finally in MN!

Hello everyone!
I want to say thank you to everyone for giving so generously of your time, energy, gas and love to these guys over the last two weekends. It does my heart good to know such great people!

I talked to the foster home this morning as I was a little concerned about Russell but apparently he's doing great. He does have a lump on his knee and one on his ribcage that we're going to get checked out this week. The foster mom said that he needs to go quickly as her and her son are falling in love!!!! How cool is that for him! They did have to separate Misty from the pups as she decided that she didn't like Russell so well but no one seems to be having a problem with that! Russell gets along great with all the babies and it sure sounds like he was a hit on the transport. Like Carol said, maybe Russell needed rescuing more than the other pups that were given away at the last minute. The foster family has two kids plus two foster kids so they're having a blast taking care and playing with the babies.

The pictures are of Melissa and husband at the Story City hand off and Michelle from our group holding Russell.

Sam is doing very well. What a different boy he's become since arriving. I think that he likes hanging in the house and I know that he LOVES going for walks. What a gentleman on a leash also, I wish that my four legged kids were that nice on a leash! Riley is also doing well and getting quite a little belly on him! He's the black and white pup in the picture who I've adopted.

Thanks again to everyone! Christa DeBoer, Freeborn County Humane Society
