[Dailydrool] Scooby & Freddy are over your heads...

Update: LAX
 
Amidst a whirlwind of activity, Scooby & Freddy actually made the  flight 
to london Heathrow arriving in about 10 hours.  Neither Amanda nor  myself 
can even think of sleeping until she has her hands on them!!
 
What an experience.  As a rescuer I can honestly say - the grief of a  
sudden and unplanned move is near enough to kill one, however, when you add in  
the trauma of trying to keep your babies with you - vet appointments, a safe 
 place, good food, exercise, supplies for flight - proper kennels, pads, 
water  bottles, more vet appointments and just when you think it's all over - 
you have  that last vet run for tick & tape and then the paperwork never 
ends.  I  feel like I've been on Scooby duty for years!!!
 
This morning, in incredible traffic the boys and I headed out to Agoura  
Hills, what should normally have taken 45 minutes, took 3 hours - and the  
paperwork wasn't even completed yet!  Mad rush to the USDA office - yet  
traffic had not cleared...... add online mapping getting directions wrong and my  
crying my brains out over the phone to some poor USDA employee..... well, 
lets  just say the lovely and wonderful Calvin of the USDA made it all right.  
 Thought that was the brundt of the stress.... Bwhahahaha - no way.  
However  did enjoy my chats with Dr. Gusman DVM and a neighbor here who was flying 
her  horse to the Caymen's for a show - 
 
A walk in a park, assembly of the predetermined airline crates, getting  
them hit with lavender, bedding from home, a blankie with my scent, lunch fed  
and pottied and then off to what was supposed to be a great pet team at 
Virgin  Atlantic.  Ummmm.  Okay.  The story goes south here and the boys  are 
still in the air, so I shall suffice it to say - SEND DROOL THAT ENGLAND  
ACCEPTS FREDDY & SCOOBY!!!  And we'll talk about the airline nightmare  when 
Amanda let's me know they are safe and sound....
If I didn;t know Amanda is the best possible home for these two, I can  
honestly say I would have walked out never to return.  It took ALL my  
dedication and love to get them on that plane.  I'm worn right out. Scooby  did get 
the evil woman's donut BTW, so it wasn't a total loss.
