I sorta wondered the same thing, about taking Sadie or Cincy along.

There was talk about combining Elliot's run with another GSD that was making a similar treck, but they decided two un-neutered male GSD's that didn't know each other may not be the best idea. Don't know about an altered female. I'll see what Ralph thinks, but maybe I could try with one of my girls and see how it works (I usually pass back pretty close to home with where I pick up). If it doesn't seem like it will work, I can drop them off at home, and let you know so you don't bring Cinder...

I'll give it more thought, talk to Ralph, and get back to you
