Bill Boudway Posted March 1, 2004 Share Posted March 1, 2004 How did it go?Did the pup make it all the way, or did one of the volunteers dognap her?I was able to do the Batavia-Weedsport, (NY) leg, but saw that you already had someone.Let us know.Regards,Bill Boudway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Harwood Posted March 1, 2004 Share Posted March 1, 2004 My wife and I took the pup from Brecksville, OH to Erie, PA, and it was a nice trip. The puppy was adorable and just snoozed on Julia's lap for most of the trip. We met some nice folks and got to help out, which was a good feeling. The pup should have arrived home Sunday night around midnight. We joked about dognapping her--she was extremely bright and playful. She'll be a wonderful pet.It makes me sad to think that if this group of strangers hadn't helped, this little dog with so much love to give might be dead this morning... That just seems wrong, which is why I helped and why I would do it again in a heartbeat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CTW Posted March 1, 2004 Author Share Posted March 1, 2004 Oh wow! Matt I didn't know you were from this forum! If you told me - with all the craziness I forgot. I can't express how grateful I am for everyone who helped. It's nice to know that in our world today there's still alot of people who care to reach out & help like they did for Shadows transport!There's a thread on a Lab retriever forum with loads of photos & about 75 replies from the beginning of her trip to the time she arrived here last nighthttp://www.lab-retriever.net/board/showthread.php?s=&threadid=10853Here's a couple of picsThis is Jason & his wife who picked her up at the shelter This is when she was in Rockford,IL areaYou can find this & others at this web site http://www.rochesterwatch.com/shadow/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
