THE MISSOURI 7 16 SEPTEMBER 2006
Commander Lewis writes: Harmony, Melody, Wayne, Christopher, Todd, Leonard & Betty Christopher & Todd playing with a new-found "toy" Harmony, Melody & Wayne are littermates . . . as are Todd & Christopher. Leonard came in as a solo pup and Betty is a five-year-old retired breeder. All are Missouri mill releases; all have been fully vetted by Dr. Tolliver in Missouri. The exception is Betty, who still needs to be spayed.
For those going to foster homes, all pups will have collars, harnesses, leashes, crates & CRUSA ID tags. Please remember to keep harnesses, collars & ID tags on your pups at all times. Here's our itinerary: Shelley & Paul Joyce (currently fostering Rudy & Riley of The Magnificent 7 and Shirley of The Missouri 9) are picking up all the above-mentioned dogs from Waynesville, Missouri on Sunday, 17 September. They'll B&B them at their home until Wednesday, 20 September, when they'll leave for Illinois. On Wednesday evening, Shelley, Paul & all the dogs will be staying at a LaQuinta in Illinois. On Thursday morning, I will meet Shelley & Paul, as will the Fordonski family, who is adopting Rudy.	Christopher
I will be taking Christopher, Todd, Leonard & Betty. Christopher, Todd & Betty will be flying to MaryBeth Rickel in Seattle, Washington on Thursday. Before I head to the airport on Thursday, I'll go to Evanston and deliver Leonard to foster mom, Pat Bernard. Christopher Meanwhile . . . Shelley & Paul are continuing up north to Wisconsin. Lisa . . . they'll call you at some point en route to let you know their estimated arrival time in Pulaski so that you can meet them and get little Wayne. Christopher & Wayne
I think that's it for now! A VERY SPECIAL thank you to Shelley & Paul who have gone to extraordinary lengths to make this transport work. Let's hope the LaQuinta can survive the experience! I know Shelley & Paul can! (And yeah . . . LaQuinta KNOWS they are bringing EIGHT dogs (do ya love it?????). I called the front desk and talked to them and the gal said, "Can we play with the pups???" I told her she could adopt one as long as she let them all stay there.)	Honey (f/k/a Betty)
