THE COUNTDOWN BEGINS

You can have the great news, the super news or the really splendid news. Take your pick.
Okay. The great news is that Enzo's Aireticket money sock is now contains well over $2500AUD and the winner of the second incentive prize, for helping us to achieve that figure, is Mareike Kuypers in Los Angeles. Mareike receives a signed copy of Emma's Journey, sent from all of us in Oz with many grateful thanks.
But our thanks are to everyone - I know you are all supporting us in so many ways, not just with money alone, which is wonderful, but also with so many caring notes & hundreds of good wishes for our boy Enzo, and for Atia & little Maia. I wish I could send an Emma's Journey to everyone!!!
There are many more incentive prizes just waiting - a copy of Wake Up, Mr B!, one of Sally Babcock's great Fairey Tales calendars, more copies of Emma's Journey, and the adorable Recycled Dale from Jan Williams of Arctic Aire - and of course the other splendid raffle prizes in addition to the First Prize. I just love looking at them all!!!
They are all shown on Enzo's Fundraiser Page HERE.
And the super news? Today, I spent some of the afternoon with Jeannie, my incredibly talented friend who is creating the Enzo Raffle First Prize, the wall hanging of Emma arriving in the High Wild Country. In a word, it is stunning. There is still a way to go before it is completed, and Jeannie is working up to six and sometimes eight hours a day on it. It makes me cry when I look at it - I will be a mess, no doubt, when I see the finished art piece that it is becoming. Whoever wins this treasure will be receiving something priceless.
And I do so wish that - like the Airedale Rescue Quilt - it would be possible for everyone to win it!!
And here's the best, the really splendid news, for last. I received an email yesterday morning from Helmut Bognor, in Vienna. Helmut is working so hard for us, keeping in contact with Enzo's vet Frank in Brno in Czech Republic, and ensuring that all the quarantine requirements in these final days are being met strictly on time. It is absolutely imperative that everything complies with the Australian Quarantine protocol, and that nothing is left to chance. It has been my most significant worry that something might go wrong here.
Helmut wrote that Frank will be driving Enzo to him on Sunday, 10 December. It's a distance of around 150 kilometres (300 return), but in CZ this is quite a journey, and a very expensive one for Frank to make - yet another example of the goodwill that is accompanying Enzo all the way in his long journey to Oz.
Enzo will stay overnight with Helmut, who will then deliver him to Vienna Aireport early on Monday morning. He is the person who secures Enzo in his flight crate and gives him his final pat & cuddle, before he is loaded onto the airecraft.
It is now December 2 in Oz. The countdown is truly underway, just ten days to go. I almost cannot believe that we are at this point. I think back to July 12 when first I learnt of Enzo's terrible plight, and it all seemed so far off, and so (almost) impossible that we might find a way to rescue him.
Please keep watch with me as the days are marked off. 10, 9, 8 . . .

Oh Sue, we sure do wish much congrats to lucky Mareike on her win but we like your super news the best! We're impatiently waiting on pins & needles here, too, for Enzo's speedy but safe arrival in the land down under!!!!
All fingers, toes, paws 'n' claws continue to be crossed here that all goes smoothly for Enzo's upcoming airejourney all the way to Oz:-))))
