I'm sure the common thread joining all of us was that we could imagine Boomer being OUR pet, the anxiety we would have if we thought we might have to give him up. Then the guarded hope that his journey might be possible, getting all the details ironed out, getting him ready for his LONG trip, hoping all would be well, then finally letting him go.

It was exciting yet difficult to watch the progress of the plane, wondering how Boomer was, all cooped up in his cage, hoping he wasn't cold or hungry or scared. The waiting was the worst part.

Then when he finally landed in OH, the joy of seeing his big eyes looking out through the kennel, knowing he had safely arrived and was on his way home!

Then when he was finally HOME, safe in a warm place, with cozy places to hide, yummy food and fresh water, a nice soft bed and perch to sit on, and the best of all, loving grandpurrents to take care of him!

That's all I could think of, that one of my babies could be Boomer; that's why I couldn't stay away from PT and all of you!

Now Boomer can relax and go back to being a cat again! (and I can stop tearing up and worrying!!!)
