Monday MOMday

Kona
Kona in the pawesome awesome snow - WELL, he's now playing in the land of perpetual snow North of The Rainbow Bridge - he khrossed Saturday evening - so we decided to dedikhate Sunday's runs to him - Mom and I have khalled it KHARGO FUR KONA!

We'd like to share these with Kona's mom and dad - please pay a visit to my LARGE Mal Gal Pal in Nebraska - and her khute Sibe Sis KhL - to paw some warm woofs and purrs fur all of the residents of HOLLY'S HOUSE
******

Yes, THEY were up there - the other morning I had to watch them performing a tightrope akht using the utility wires out at the edge of the property

Posing

Time to turn it ovFUR to Mom so she khan tell woo about the inkhredibly khool Xterra passengers!

How it looked at 7:05am as I headed to Hagerstown for the first run

Rainy and dreary

And kind of foggy too

Foggier as I crossed Reesers Summit

The rain had temporarily let up when I made it to Merryland

A Wolfe and a Caterpillar - comparison pic to come later in the post

Ready everyone???

Hey Mickey - and yes, he was so fine

Another photogenic shotgun passenger

Yes, Pawsylvania welcomed us wetly!

Sorry so many of the photos are blurry - but his handsomeness shines through

Vinny loved his crate - slept rested and napped like this the entire trip - again, blurry since I had to contort a bit to snag this shot - you'll see more of him in the videos in the Photobucket album from the transports-

*

He was alternately attentive and restful - very aware of sights and smells - really enjoyed snoofing in the outside air coming in the vents

He was coy and playful with his attention!

Such a happy boy!

Another one of those dogs that pics and videos just won't do justice to - playful too - even tried to drive before we left MD - he thought my lap might be more comfortable than the shotgun spot - I told him sorry, no license no wheel no key!

For the last part of the journey, he found this to be a comfy spot -

This was at the traffic light at the end of the exit ramp - he was locked on to two people he saw walking on the other side of the road - he's very much a people person - as you'll see in the first video from Harrisburg, as soon as he spotted the next driver heading towards us, he couldn't take his eyes off the Honda Fit -

He was checking on Vinny - making sure he was ready for to get out for some fresh air

*

That face!

And sweet sweet Vinny! I feel like I cheated him by not being able to get more pics of him but that happens to the passengers that are crated - I did get some videos with him - he was a cutie - and he's home in Connect The Dots! He was listed as a Beagle but when you watch the videos, you'll see he's a Beagle on a Basset chassis! His foster had written the transporter list thanking us for helping to get him home - and said he was an old soul looking to help all encountered - so true!

One last shot of Mickey - who had been listed as a Husky Mix - his overnight hostess and I thought there might be some Pibble in there - but when I called the transport's contact after passing him along to the next driver, she mentioned I should google THIS and see what I thought - since he had come from The Carolinas, maybe he is a Carolina Dog - BUT as the paw magnet I passed on a van from West Virginia said soooo well, I am a Rescue - what are you?

After stopping at a Turkey Hill

for some gas and a coffee, it was time to head back to Hagerstown for Transport Number Two - this shot was short of Chambersburg - the rain had stopped - again -

The Wolfe and The Caterpillar again!

A closer look at the flowers

Meet Paco - he was a wee wee cutie! He travelled along to Shippensburg where I met his rescue contact -

Beth The LabPibble - I wish the day had been clearer so you could see her coat better - she's a beautiful brown with brindle furs hiding there!

Well, it wasn't raining this time BUT the sky was still threatening - it actually did that on and off all day - more on that later

Beth decided to keep an eye on Woodstock - he was comfy in his crate so we didn't get him out in Hagerstown - good thing because just after we closed the doors to depart, it POURED - so if we had spent more time there, we would have gotten very very wet! He was a bit shy - Mary told me that Beth was very sweet with him and tried to get him to play - she said they were even kissing on Saturday - I did open his crate door in case he wanted to come out but he was content

Yes, I heard all of you!

He heard you too!

I was able to take this pic of Beth as we were stopped at the light off the exit ramp of I81 - she had taken up residence back there after I passed along Paco

He so was as cute as all of you have to think he is!

Darrin's Honda Element has this awesome sticker on it

As I mentioned, the weather was constantly changing - this was the South side of I83

and this was the North side - I had only turned the camera maybe 45 degrees or so

A look back at Harrisburg

I always love the shots with the bridge and its reflection

Back down the hill - a might bit different than the weather in this area had been five hours earlier!

Same for the intersection near Khyra's B&B

Mission Accomplished!

Once again, I'm left to say WHAT A DAY - five great passengers - although I so wish it had been six - with Lobo - please keep him in your thoughts - perhaps Kona can help guide him to the help he needs - Lobo had been a stray - and on the run - someone had been leaving food for him - and trying to secure him for rescue - well, he's not been seen for a few days - so we need good thoughts for him - if he's located, someone will make the drive to collect him - he deserves that better life that was so close for him -

Just like the better life Mickey will have one day soon - he reached his foster site early Sunday evening and is having a blast! Since he had only really known the shelter system, he's free to run and run and then run some more!

Woodstock met HIS family Sunday afternoon - and as you'll see in the Photobucket pics, all are very AND furry happy!

I had struggled with how to best handle the Photobucket for these back to back transports - I knew combining them would make for a very large amount of pictures but I wanted the progression of the day to be 'there' - SO, please grab a large beverage of your choice and enjoy THE ALBUM WITH VIDEOS and THE SLIDESHOW of pics taken along their journey - not just the ones I took - some of the other drivers sent along their pics!

Once again we have five tails up and twenty paws saying RESCUES ROCK!!!!!

Khyra will have some other pictures from Sunday's travels - we didn't want to make this post any longer than it already is - I'll let her retake khontrol tomorrow!
