Dogsters have been asking for an update and here it is.

“Crisp and Ratchet are scheduled to arrive at Dulles International Airport in Washington, DC on Monday afternoon.

Ratchet will be cleared by the Center for Disease Control and given a thorough medical evaluation by a local Virginia veterinarian. As long as Ratchet receives a clean bill of health, he will fly to his final destinations, Minneapolis, MN, on Wednesday.

“Northwest Airlines, a Minnesota base company, generously donated Ratchet and Crisp’s flights from Kuwait to Minneapolis, MN.

“You can receive future updates on continued efforts to help our men and women in the Armed Forces adopt their pets and bring about change to the military’s policies on this issue: info@mars-safehaven.net

“Saving Private Ratchet” has wonderful gifts with all proceeds going to the SPCA: http://www.care2.com/go/z/e/AbLiE/W1DG/Ah7G5.

I always enjoy starting my week with great news, it doesn’t get much better than this. You can read more on Ratchet’s update by going to the SPCA site.
