Hi Everyone,

Just checking to let you know that all is go for my leg tomorrow, and that I am going to try to get into GSP a little earlier than originally planned, perhaps around 1030.

Jason, if you are able to arrive earlier to deliver Bree that would be great.

Debi, I will have four additional, older pups along for Bree's flight. Normally I do not use crates, but if you think Bree would be more comfortable in one in this situation, I'll take you up on the offer. Thanks!

Regards,

Steve

Hi Steve,

Kathleen Quinn, Executive Director of PNP will be meeting all of you tomorrow at GSP. She will have several crates of various sizes for all of you to choose from. I will make sure she has everything all of you need. Do you have a t-shirt, leashes, harnesses, etc? It is preferable that when flying multiple animals that you have them all crated. Perhaps a larger one can be tethered with a safety auto harness but for safety, they should be in crates i.e. turbulance, etc. Thank you for flying them to safe havens and take alot of pics please!

Debi

I am not capable of fitting multiple crates. Leashes are appreciated.

Thanks,

It was a pleasure doing the flight, meeting Steve O'Rourke and his family, and delivering Bree to Carol and her forever home. Thanks for the brownies and trail mix! Bree wanted them BADLY! I felt a wet nose when my copilot opened a granola bar halfway to New Hampshire. :mrgreen:

Here's a few pictures my friend/copilot Jason took on the way - higher res pics at http://photo.skulte.com/Bree
