THEEYO IS HOME AND LOVING IT

Coordinating for a dog to fly to their home can be like solving a puzzle.  You get a flight but it doesn't work for the people or you get everyone's schedule lined up but the flight is booked too full.  When you finally get the combination of everything right you hold an excited breath and wait to see it all fit together.  You feel guilty leaving the dog at the airport because you're sure they don't understand what they're doing there, but then you could jump for joy when you hear they've landed safe and sound and are settling into their new home.  The end justifies the means.

Theeyo gets a kong with peanut butter in his flight crate the night before

He has no issue with going in and out of the crate...I think he likes it in there

Crate is all ready with itinerary attached to the top, extra supplies, water dish etc
The first leg of his journey was flying Harbour Air from Richmond to Victoria.  I've taken dogs to Harbor Air a couple of times and have always been super impressed by the staff and how they treat their guests - 2-legged or 4-legged.  He was greeted in Victoria by Marie (thanks Marie....you're awesome!) who had him overnight and put him on his flight with Pacific Coastal (also an awesome company to fly a dog with!) to Prince George where he was picked up by Rob.  Unfortunately, timing didn't allow for both of his new humans to be there but Betty-Jo was back home by tonight and anxious to meet Theeyo too.  So they are now all together and I received the update that made me smile and made me happier than happy!

Theeyo - asleep on Rob's lap....looking so content!
Hi Lisa....
Holy cow is he cute! So much smaller than I imagined he'd be....so, so cute! And a sweet little personality. I've been home for 2 hrs, and it's obvious he is a great fit for us. I think he might be Rob's dog....pretty devoted to Rob's every move......its precious.

What a cuddler, he is curled up on Rob's lap, eyes rolled back in his head, he's so chilled out. He's great, we love him, you have nothing to be sorry about. He is our little guy.......

Oh, he's been on 3 off leash walks and seems to love it....did very, very well I'm told. Had some bliss moments rolling in the tall grass and clover, very nice. I look forward to joining them tomorrow!

He is just doing beautifully, we are thrilled and grateful. He and Frankie have been chasing each other and having a blast. Life is good. Happy Birthday to me!!
Betty-Jo


Theeyo has two dog siblings and the dog he has already been running around with is Frankie who is a TG alumni.   Thanks Betty-Jo and Rob for giving Theeyo such a great home...I know he will be well loved!  I notice in the email update no mention of Theeyo's name....perhaps a name change is in the works??
