NOW PLAYING: LEAVIN' ON A JET PLANE

LEAVIN' ON A JET PLANE 21 NOVEMBER 2010
Shannon writes: MOLLY, SASH & ROBBIE went home today! Joe & I went to the Milwaukee airport to pick up their new moms and bring them home with us to meet their new puppies. Anne & Steve Breckenridge adopted MOLLY & SASH; Anne came from North Carolina to pick them up. Pat & Des Morrissey adopted ROBBIE; Pat came from New Jersey to pick her up. A lot of miles to come and get the new addition(s) to their families, but they agree it was MORE than worth the trip! I believe it was love at first sight for Anne & Pat. How could it not be? It was really great because they got to come and be with the pups for a few hours before they had to fly back. MOLLY is now Bonnie and SASH is now . . . yes, you guessed it . . . Clyde! ROBBIE is now known as Fiona. Anne & Steve are first-time Cairn owners; Pat has Spike, whom she adopted from CRUSA a year or so ago. YOU 'N' ME, KID . . . THAT'S THE WAY IT'S GONNA BE
I have received great updates from them both. They were all angels on the flight home; hmmmmmmm, I never would have used that word to describe them.
Anne has begun the job of crate training and cannot believe how great they are doing in one day! (And people laughed at me when I said I thought OUR puppies were smarter then most.) Anne walks these little ones three timea a day and they love it! Last I heard, they were on their way to Lowes to get an estimate for the cost of a fence. Anne said it would be a shame for them not to have the freedom to run and play while so young. Plus she said they would feel safer this way! They are really enjoying the heck out of them, too . . . twice the enjoyment! Pat said she & Des thought that, just from looking at her pictures, Fiona would rule to roost with their other dogs. Pat said the boys don't know what to make of her yet . . . and of course she isn't one bit afraid of them! Des calls her "Fearless Fiona." Pat thinks Spike is a little jealous and says it doesn't help matters any with her trying to eat their food. Spike actually was on the couch with Fiona and was almost close to her, but not quite yet! She's trying to engage the boys in play, but they will have nothing to do with her! I love how tenacious she is . . . remember, she was, and still is, the runt of the litter. Joe & I do really miss them . . . only two more to go! How empty our house will be . . . and quiet, too! SHELLY SIMINSKI: I'm so happy they are home for the holidays; almost made me cry. I'm very happy for all the pups. Great job, foster folks. Great job, CRUSA family! SHELLY SIMINSKI: Great job! Now, everyone has something to be grateful for this Thanksgiving!

McCOY GOES HOME . . . HERE!
