Displaced Beachbums

Our four-legged family members are now safe in Atlanta and they’re residing at Dave’s “Pet Resort”. Dave is not only a very good friend of over 20 years but also FG’s Godfather. One thing about Dave is he’s a huge dog lover and, other than our house, there was no other place I would feel completely comfortable sending my furry babies.

Their trip from Guam to Atlanta was long and, no doubt scary, especially for Maya who is a puppy and this was her first flight. Sport, on the other hand, has more frequent flyer miles than most people. They had to stay 24 hours in Honolulu for a “rest” and I was a mess thinking about how they were doing and who was taking care of them. I HAD to speak directly with the person taking care of them. It took me awhile to get his cell number and anyone associated with Continental Cargo in Honolulu probably refers to me as “that neurotic dog lady.”  Actually, everyone I talked to from the reservations and throughout the trip were very professional and caring.  So, if you have a dog or cat, who will layover in Honlolulu, send me a comment with your e-mail address and I’ll pass along the cell number so you too can speak with the man who takes care of them ~ he recieves them, feeds, walks, waters and puts them back on the plane.

Now the ONLY problem with Maya and Sport staying at Dave’s is they will no doubt be beyond spoiled when I get them back. Kinda like going to the favorite Uncles house where it’s one big vacation!

I just spoke with Dave and the dogs finished their dog food with “ORGANIC vegetable broth” and were happily sleeping on the bed (which Sport never does at our house).

Oh, my…they may refuse to come with us to New York.
