Connor is on his way!

I just got back from dropping Connor off at the airport - he is on his way to Cheryl (Emily_The_spoiled) in Washington.

It's almost 1 in the morning here, and after such an emotional day, I just want to crawl into bed and cry myself to sleep. I've been crying all day - I love my big fat balding tail-less deaf furkid so much. :(

Thanks again to everyone who made this possible, with your support and donations.

If you want to track Connor's progress, you can do so here. The waybill number is: 125-21334095

I'll be back online in the morning, hopefully things will look better after some sleep. :(

GOOD LUCK Connor!!! Have a great flight. And don't be afraid, you are going to a GOOD place.

{{{{{{{{{Julie}}}}}}}}} I know how hard this must be. How sad it had to be like this. Maybe one day you will be reunited.

Julie, I have been wondering about you and the kitties and how you managed to work everything out. Connor is going to be fine! How could he not be? :) Hang in there and have sweet dreams. I know you are ready to join your husband and daughter.

Logan

Have a safe flight Connor!

Julie, I'm so sorry you are having to do this. (((HUGS))) and hang in there.

I'm praying for a safe and uneventful journey for Connor. Also, that Connor will remain calm throughout the journey, not feel too scared, and arrive safely in Washington. I certainly will be thankful for THAT.

Biscuit's Mom

It is bittersweet isn't it? :( Conner is going to someone who loves
him already. He will be fine. Have a good rest now. :)

Thanks for the updates Phred - what would we do without our very own international Pet Talk Air Traffic Controller! :) :D

I hope Connor is not too scared - at least he can't HEAR all the strange noises! I had to pack food and water for his Heathrow stopover - hope their is a nice Air Hostess to give you your breakfast, my angel!

The house feels empty - even Ally is upset, and she was never Connor's Number 1 fan!

If I read the track and trace results correctly, Connor should be leaving London in about half an hour.

Hope you enjoying British hospitality, Connor. :)

Awww Julie..... :( I am so sorry that you had to part with sweet Connor...!
But he is flying to his new loving home now, so don't you worry about him dear :) . How about lovely Aly???
I hope you are feeling a bit better now. You are in my mind, always!!

Connor is probably in his seat by now and taxi-ing out to the runway ready for takeoff. Hope you enjoyed your brief visit, Connor! Have a safe flight.

Real-Time Flight Tracker

Select British Airways from the first drop-down menu, and then the number 217

FlightView gives a nice visual also.

Connor is over the ocean and approaching the southern tip of Greenland right now. How exciting!! :D

Oh that real time tracker is great!!
Here's where he is right now!

Thanks for the link Debbie!!

Have a safe trip, Connor! I'll be thinking of you! ;)

Julie, I'm so sorry that you had to do this... At least you know he will live in a loving home.. (((((HUGS))))

Only two hours 12 minutes! Hugs to Connor!

Julie, if your mom is taking Ally and you need more dontaions. let me know. I lost the thread for donations for Connor.

(If you need more anyway, PM me, ok?)

Oh ((((((Julie)))))!!! This must have been such a hard thing to do!!! If I had to part with one of my girls, I think I could never stop crying!!!

I hope Connor has a safe trip, and isn't too scared!! He should arrive in his new home very soon. I'll check in later to read the news about him!!!
