Hi there!
We made it home --- a very eventful trip --- and fortunately, all’s well that end’s well.
Left Detroit for Newark (and saw the Statue of Liberty), then to Atlanta, and finally to Houston. McGuffey traveled well in spite of a HOT plane ride from Atlanta to Houston. I was afraid he was starting to overheat and asked the attendant for help; turns out she was the perfect person as she was formerly a vet tech. She took him to the back of the plane, applied wet, cold paper towels, gave him ice chips, held him under an air register, and declared him okay. She changed our seat to the last row where it was much cooler, and he got to stay out of the carrier and sit on my lap, even during the landing. She is getting a nice letter to Continental management in the mail today.
Dennis picked us up at the airport, and two hours later, The New Thing was playing and exploring. The other dogs took him right in, and the kitties are still examining him from afar.
Very glad to be home,
David
Ah, youth!
