Been right beside me all day ❤️
A dear friend of mine passed away yesterday unexpectedly I’ve been laying on the couch feeling down and Alex isn’t having it. He’s licking my tears away. I ❤️this dog and I think he loves me
I’m off work this week, fall break for us paraprofessional’s and today Alex has escaped out the front door twice and ran all over the neighborhood with me chasing behind him praying he doesn’t get hit by a car 🤷♀️we are home safe and now he’s hiding behind the couch cuz I scolded him. Oh the joys of puppy hood. I so don’t think he’s a year old, puppy zooming still, running off and chewing on everything but we love him, we will get him trained I promise ❤️
He has come so far that I sometimes forget where he came from!
We love that cairn puppy energy!
Due to we couldn’t get a health certificate it made trying to find transport difficult next to impossible. At this time I realized I may have to fly to CA with 2 small children and drive halfway across the country back home by myself and the thought of that made me physically ill. If you know my story I was kidnapped beaten and raped in 1995 and the very thought of traveling alone brought back nightmares and I broke out into hives and was seriously stressed out by now. We were networking to try to get a team of people or volunteers to drive him home or closer to home. We had a lady volunteer to drive him from Green River Wyoming to Gary Indiana if I could find someone to transport him to Green River, then we had a veteran volunteer to drive him from Phoenix Arizona to IL if I could get him to Phoenix. We worked on both of these aspects diligently. We had another volunteer who if we could get a health certificate later on who would fly to CA and then to Chicago and I could pick him up there. Another lady had stepped up and was willing to drive him to Phoenix but we never could get the dates to line up. At this point people were coming out of the woodworks so to speak but what I learned with the exception of the above mentioned volunteers the rest of the people wanted to be called volunteers but wanted paid high dollars, I even had one lady who just talked to me but now wanted me to pay her cuz she talked to me🤷♀️the world had lost their mind. I’ve learned a lot on this journey and most volunteer transports aren’t volunteers they charge a small fortune but there are a few true volunteer transport companies out there but Alex couldn’t be transported with them cuz of no health certificate.
