Zoey is just a yard dog. The owners have no time for her due to long working hours. She was given to them by a friend, and they don't want her. We want to find her a real home.

We'll take transport whenever it can be worked out and the weather co-operates. Best time for arrivals at 5C1 are evening due to work schedules, but if daytime works best for you we'll find someone to meet you.

Thank you for all you do for the homeless animals!

Thank you!

I'm checking with Jo Ellen, since I've not been in direct contact with the people dumping this dog. I'll get back to you as soon as I hear. About what time would you expect to arrive at the Houston end and which airport would you target there?

How does the weather look for Sunday morning? The last I looked at the predictions for here in Austin, Sunday didn't look good.

Jerry and Sergio,

I am available anytime Saturday if it doesn't look good for Sunday or for Sergio.

Guys,

* I am only available Sunday morning; I could arrive at Houston Executive KTME or West Houston around 10:30am.
* CB is only available Saturday.

The weather should be fine tomorrow, and okay for Sunday morning with late-day isolated t-storms in the forecast.

I suggest CB to give it a shot tomorrow and if it doesn't work, I back up on Sunday.

Sounds good?

Just talked with Sergio, and it sounds like flying Saturday may be the best option with Sunday as a backup plan. I'm checking the weather now to estimate the flight time - likely between 1 1/2 hours and 2.

Jerry, which airports are pickup / deliver? It looks like West Houston (KIWS) or Sugarland (KSGR) may be close on this end, and possibly Boerne Stage (5C1) in San Antonio?

I'm available all day, so we can coordinate among the sender and receiver for the times.

Sorry to be away from the computer a bit. I'm going to take this to e-mail so as to include other necessary parties.

We thought we had a way to make this happen today, but Zoey's owner can't bring her to the airport in time. Now we're working on tomorrow morning, if the weather co-operates.

I would like to leave Boerne around 8:00am Sunday morning. I am instrument rated and able to fly instruments tomorrow. However, if the clouds in Boerne are too low, I will have to wait until the lift up 600 feet above the ground. Storms are forecasted for the afternoon.

Arriving in Houston I prefer Houston Executive Airport KTME because Weiser does not have an instrument approach in case I need it (very likely). I don't know if this makes any sense to non-pilots.

I know the Executive Airport in Katy is a longer drive, but if we can work it out...

I wound not mind transporting another dog on my way to Houston.

Call me if needed.
