I just sent Miz Libby a note saying I could do either or both
"Akron" > Youngstown
and/or
Youngstown > Monroeville (Pittsburgh)

Let me know if you hear anything.

I got a thank you email from her for finding someone to help.

Thanks Phred!!

Usually Libby waits til the finally run sheet is ready then sends out everyone's contact info so you can make arrangments with those you are meeting as to where.

I told her I'd do half of that one if needed...
to Donegal or Somerset ...
but "Bedford" might not want to come that far west.

Wonder if UN-neutered "Elliot" could BE-HAVE himself
so Cinder could ride along for company on the way back?? :confused:

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

In an e-mail from Libby ...

I want to thank you all again for helping to get Elliot
here to us and safe…..

I just got back from dropping him at his foster home...
as I get more on how he’s settling in,
I will certainly let you all know.

He’s a very handsome dude!!! And so sweet

Thanks again, without you,
he would have been a research subject!!

I'm Back!!

Sandusky to Akron must have *hauled-BUTT*!
Akron/Cindy got to me On-Time;
and I managed to make Pittsburgh/Monreoville On-Time, too!

I should have taken Cinder - Elliot was a Really Mild & Mellow Fellow!

He didn't want to go potty after 10 minutes of pleading - but DID
inhale a pint of water before we started!

NO problems on the trip - he'd get up every 10-15 minutes and
give me a *nudge* or a *lick* on the ear - *HINT* to
*Pass me a Bisquit*!

Monreoville was a treat -
crossing 11 toll booth lanes with a strange dog!
But he "heeled" right along, stopping at each lane
to let cars & trucks pass - never flinched once!

Another 10 minutes of pleading and he finally did a little pee and
also a loose #2 - then hopped right into Kathy's ride
and off they went!

I Picked up the Kids from Unka Pat's - and grabbed an "extra" -
Cali was going to be alone till 10:00 pm or later while Pat & Joan
went to a wedding - se we all went to the BigLake for a stroll.

KAT was at the top of the stairs >countin noses< when
we came in ...
Got to Dawg #4 and he took off for the tub/shower!

Amy ~ Glad I saw your original post - was a Rewarding & Phunn day!

What a great dog Elliot is!! If I thought Ralph would go for number four, I think I would have kept him!! I had alittle extra time with him, as the woman I was handing off to was a little late. He walked good on a leash, new sit, stay, and shake. He was good with other dogs, not possive of his toys, great when some little kids wanted to pet him, took treats very gently...he should have no problem finding a great home!!

Here's Elliot!

Amy and Phred, you guys are the best!!! Elliot is gorgeous, and by all reports a real sweetheart. To think he would have been used for research just breaks my heart. Thank you for saving this handsome and deserving fellow. I hope he gets a wonderful new home where he will be loved and appreciated.

[NoahsMommy]

You guys are so great! Thanks for giving this cutie your time and love. :)

Elliot is soooo gorgeous!!!
Pats Amy and Phred on the back! :)

Here's a few of the *snappies* I took while I had
Elliot, the Rescue Shepherd, on Saturday, June 18, 2005.

I picked him up from Cindy - his Bus Driver from Akron to Lake Milton,
a lil town north of and near the Ranch.

First Order of Business -
*Inhale* a fresh pint of Water!

http://www.imagestation.com/picture/sraid174/p82faef0c4f4df357afb441bcf357816c/f3983a8e.jpg

Cindy reported he just HAD a pint when she picked him up!
(And he hadn't *pee'd* for at least two hours!)
He >*sniffed*< for 10 minutes; but wasn't In the Mood
to *DO* anything!


Cindy wished him well and WE were off to Pittsburgh
via the Ohio and PA Turnpikes ...

http://www.imagestation.com/picture/sraid174/pe06bcb58c9dea4284c82ba23172ff7b0/f3983803.jpg

Elliot hasn't *missed* too many meals;
and he filled up most of the back seat!
He'd go about 10 - 15 minutes, then either *nudge* my elbow or
give an ear *SLURRP* - Dawg-Talk for:
HEY, Bus Driver! I'd lika anudder Bisquit, Please!"


Next Stop = Monroeville (far eastern suburb of Pittsburgh, PA) ...
And an *exciting* crossing of ELEVEN very Active Toll Both lanes
to meet Kathy ...
Thankfully, Elliot walked & heeled very well on a leash -
he *paused* with me at every lane to let vehicles roar past!
Time for a poddy break ...

http://www.imagestation.com/picture/sraid174/pacbc3f28c3e32177269cdf422be2bd92/f398368b.jpg


Kathy says "Hello" - and <whispers> some encouragement to
*go DO something*!

http://www.imagestation.com/picture/sraid174/pa2affb1f500b5343ca190a1bbad7a41d/f398327f.jpg


Elliot (finally) made a damp spot and did a lil #2 -
Kathy "held" while I "bagged" ...

http://www.imagestation.com/picture/sraid174/p15bddab99630238420e26b168ed736f2/f3982f1c.jpg


All that stompin thru the tall grass makes ya *thirsty* ...
MORE Water ...

http://www.imagestation.com/picture/sraid174/p0288ee35fce7bdea84c62c667268ec04/f3982cd9.jpg


A final {{{HUG}}} and a G-Bye;
his Favorite *Stuffie* safely On Board ...
Elliot <hopped> into Kathy's Ride and they headed east ...

GOOD LUCK finding your FurrEver Home, Elliot!!
You were a GOOD Boy and will make someone a Wonderful Pet!!
