aly, you are the best.....great insight and response!!!! hope that you and your fur kids are well....i hope that other person finds someone to do the last 2 hours...i am not sure that i understand why 12 puppies would be put to sleep if a 2 hour stretch of a trip would not be complete....wouldn't the person in the last leg just pick up the last miles???? it is not that many miles extra???? i don't know....just a guess on my part...the delidog
