ON THE ROAD, DAY 1 MISSOURI TO ILLINOIS A SNOWY SLIPPERY 19 DECEMBER 2009

Waynesville, Missouri to Bloomington, Illlinois Leaving Waynesville approximately 10 a.m. Arriving in Bloomington approximately 3 p.m. Bob K. transporting 12 dogs. Dogs for Crotty & Loy leave the transport at this stop; ten dogs continue Dr. T's new facility Gayle K. writes: Not a sound out of any of the 12 in over five hours on the road and no messy crates; how lucky were we. These are the smallest, most friendly dogs yet. Elena, who does most of the transporting from mills to the vet clinic, in the kennel room preparing our fur kids for the trip Elena, who picked up the dogs from the breeder, said the breeder was old and lived in a single-wide trailer with garbage all around; the dogs were outside in rabbit-type cages, and whatever type of shelter they had were "shacks". This is one easy way to move crates to the car Two of the babies' dew claws were so long that they had grown into their rear leg area. How they could be so sweet with smiling eyes is amazing to me. Rick & Cindy B. from Bloomington met Bob & Gayle and did the second leg of the trip First-time foster Margot with Jared & her Silky Terrier, Buster Who're you, and where'm I goin'?
