a) Linky doesnt work for the puppy thread...

b) I'd be willing to send some money via paypal to help with airplane ticket.. Definitely a better way to go. I understand not having the money to buy it up front, but in the long run, it would be the better option. No miles on car, cheaper than gas+oil change/tire rotation+motel rooms...

Im sure a lot of people would be willing to send you some money, even if you dont actually flat out ask... I'd offer to do a leg of the transport if I had a better (mpg) car. Itd be better for me to send money than put it in my gas tank, as I get 16 mpg on good days. (Beefy Xterra )
