THIS is why I support rescue…

December 15, 2017.
---------------------
Yesterday, we had 18 pups on board.
A mixture of puppies, adults, Pitties, a German Shepard, and Husky's, one of which you see here.

A last minute save from death row, the two Husky's were not in the original flight plan; a rescue reached out to me, quite literally at the 11th hour before our flight, and asked if we could take them.

Knowing I had room on the airplane, it was a no brainer - the one thing we will never ever do is turn away an animal if we have the space to take them.
Every time I load the aircraft, it's a delicate balance of placement, to ensure we load within limits, and keep the weight and balance where it needs to be during flight.

Early on I decided this girl would be co-pawlet; she had a very sweet and gentle demeanor, and weighed just enough to help offset our loading.
This is how she slept, for the entire flight; her little tooshy hanging off of the seat, but she didn't care. When you've just come from death row, I imagine that just about any sleeping arrangement would be more comfortable then what you had been through.

I would reach over and pet her, stroke her fur, and just remind her everything would be ok. It's a moment where you get to reflect on the fact that just 24 hours before, she and her crewmate would have been euthanized, simply because they were out of time.

Now, both on board our aircraft, headed to a new life over 500 miles away. Sometimes my friends, miracles really do happen ❤

It is an old story…
The lesson is timeless 🫶🫶🫶

Life's greatest lesson, taught by a Cowboy.
Most of us that have loved and lost our beloved animals can share the lessons of loving a pet.
Grab your tissues and share.

Dogs, those furry companions that brighten our lives, live a fraction of the lifespan humans do. Yet, they seem to possess an extraordinary ability to find happiness in the simplest of moments, teaching us invaluable lessons about living life with boundless optimism and joy.

It’s often said that dogs are among the happiest creatures or animals, and their unwavering enthusiasm for life can serve as a profound reminder for us humans to appreciate the beauty in every moment.

We have to admire their innate ability to fully immerse themselves in the present . Whether playing or resting they give their full attention to each moment, reminding us to savour life as it unfolds, rather than constantly looking ahead or dwelling in the past ...

I hope you help…
They need us

December 8th, 2016.

Kimber, and Rocky, as I met them at the airport in NC for their ride north. We've flown a lot of dogs you know, 485 since May of 2015 as of this flight. Just when you think you've seen the worst of what this world can do, a few more come along.
As I look at this photo, and go through the memory of the moment, it's all a bit absurd; they have leashes on, as if they could even think of mustering the energy to run away; as it was they could barely walk by themselves.
This image is one that still haunts me - the look on their faces, gently going along to wherever they are led, blindly trusting that surely it will be no worse then from where they had come.
2 dogs, having prior never known one another, now had found themselves becoming a symbol of hope; a symbol of love; a symbol of just what can happen when the right things simply come together.
Usually my pawsengers are upbeat, curious, excited, nervous, not quite sure what is happening, but willing to go along for the ride.
For these two, it was a world entirely different; I could sense the pain, the agony, the abuse, the struggle to find the energy to simply stand, to walk, to simply keep on living.
And yet, despite what had been done to them, they went along willingly, with the faith that whatever lay ahead could only be better then where they had been.
You may have noticed by now that these type of flights affect me very deeply - they are the ones that linger in your mind, in your heart, and weigh heavily upon the soul. Thank you for listening, supporting, letting me decompress, and sharing this with you.
