Tales of a Transport!

Hi everyone!!

The pups are off!! They left at 8:00 a.m. this morning with Nancy. OK Westie Rescue's volunteer, Connie, named the pups when she picked them up yesterday. I fixed up rescue quilts right quick late last night so each one has one of our rescue quilts with their name on it (we have a volunteer who makes them for all of our rescues, I then take them and put the rescues names on them). We also sell them for our fund raising efforts if anyone is interested We sell them for $20.00, $25.00 with them name of your choice.

The black lab pup is Russell, he is quite large and very scared - he needs lots of TLC and loves to be held. The two little pups are Coco, a little girl who looks a little like a German Shepherd mix, she is black and brown. Oreo, the little white boy with two big black spots looks like he is part Great Pryness, he is a little chubby. Russell is eaten up with ticks and Oreo and Coca are covered with fleas, we tried to get as many off as we could but they do need to be dipped. All 3 are very sweet, they all need puppy food as they have been eating adult food.

Give Russell a extra big hug for me when he gets home!

Hi all,

Well, as you can see the pups are well on their way by now. I was late picking them up from Theresa (I'm so sorry, Theresa) but we arrived in Blackwell right on time.....thank goodness the OK Highway Patrol was sleeping in this morning. Russell (little black lab pup) was a dream traveling. He decided that the back seat was his place to be and he stayed right there until time to transfer him to Roy in Blackwell. He must be housebroken as he didn't potty in the car but Roy said that Russell was about to explode when he was taken for a potty run. The pups pooped in the crate just before we arrived in Blackwell so both of the quilts are soiled but Roy put one of them in a plastic bag and the other (which wasn't nearly as soiled as the other) one I folded over and laid back in the crate so they wouldn't have to be on just the crate. Roy had a puppy pad though so we laid it on top of the quilt. Roy took pictures of me and all the pups at Blackwell at the transfer and then they were off. Once I get a copy of the pics I'll post on the pups' blog. That Russell is precious and so loving. It was hard for me to say bye to them all though.

The quilts that Theresa talks about are precious. And they do a wonderful job of putting the name on them.

Hello,

Susan, you walked in your door shortly before I walked in mine. I believe my trip was about 20 miles shorter, but I stopped for supper; maybe you didn't.

Sean transferred the dogs to me, in Kansas City, Kansas, around 4:15pm. The setter was very squirmish, and Sean tied her to one of my rear seatbelt buckles. As a result, she stayed put and I didn't hear one peep from her the entire trip. The three puppies were all crated; the large one in a medium size cat carrier I brought along. The large pup and one of the two wee ones were also quiet the entire trip. The other wee one whimpered once and that was it. I have never transported that many dogs with that little noise. I suppose all three pups were sleeping. I delivered them to Susan around 5:45pm.

Sorry, I don't have a camera
