I am now with my new dad! I've been on quite the adventure, let me tell you!

It all started after I didn't get adopted at the shelter. My foster mom, Emily, was uncertain of my future, she couldn't keep me forever, but she didn't want to give up on me. She almost had to make the decision to put me to sleep.

Then James stepped in. James and his wife, Melodie contacted Emily and said they would love to try and help me. That was in Feburary. The wonderful people at the forums of www.idog.com were all pulling for me. One member knew a transport coordinator, so she put Emily in touch with her.

That is when the ball started rolling! The coordinator set up the legs, and sent out e-mails. Eventually, all the legs were filled. All 13 of them!! They were filled just in the nick of time too. We almost didn't know if we'd have enough people.

I left out on my great adventure Saturday, March 12, 2005 when Emily drove me just outside of Alabaser, Alabama. I was picked up and taken to Cullman, Alabama and from there I went to Brentwood, Tennessee. From Brentwood, I went on to Sunnyhill, Tennessee to Oakland, Tennessee, where I spent the night. On Sunday morning, I traveled from Oakland to St. Louis, Missouri; from St. Louis to New Florence Missouri. From there I went to Lamine, Missouri then to Topeka Kansas where I was picked up by James!

From Topeka, I will travel all the way to Colorado where I will live. I am so happy to have been given a third chance at life! I feel great!

Thank you to everyone that helped out with this incredible task. Cyber hugs to all!

Emily and Ernie
