Fly Away Home

Dog's and rural airports.  I knew I'd spend time with the former, but not so much the later.  But the times have changed and thanks to pilotsnpaws.org dogs are moved across country all the time.

Our new foster, Jess arrived today courtesy of Pilot Dave and his daughter Jessica.  Not that I'm jealous, but no one has flown me anywhere in a private plane.  Several of our fosters have traveled in style like this.

Jess is the first one to arrive to us with a health certificate that says she's in heat.  What, what? Wait, Pilot Dave, bring me one not in heat!  But this is fostering, you get what you get and you roll with it.  Never mind that I have no experience with a dog in heat.  Never mind that Mick thinks his prayers have been answered.  We shall deal with it.  It's part of rescue.  We do things that owners sometimes don't have the Cajones to do.  In a perfect world this dog's family would not have given her up.  And she would not have been at risk of being put down.

 

So it's not a perfect world.  We are perfectly happy to do what we need to do to welcome Jess into the Great Plains Pointer Rescue family.  She can hang with us until the right person wants to be her forever home.  When that day comes she can fly away home with our blessing.
