Getting my puppy on Saturday!!!!!

This morning I woke up to an email saying that the puppy we are getting this weekend might not be able to be transported here until NEXT weekend, because her littermates apparently all caught a cold, and they can't transport them if they're sick. I was so upset...I have had a lousy last few days, and I was really looking forward to her coming. Well, it turns out that out of the 4 puppies in her litter, ours is the only one with no cold symptoms, and is ready to travel!! We will be picking her up Saturday afternoon and bringing her home. We have to keep a close eye on her, because the 2 day voyage from Tennessee can be hard on them, and if she has been exposed to any germs, she could get sick. So we've set up a vet appointment for Monday morning to check her out and make sure she's ok and healthy! I am so happy. My other dog is going to absolutely freak out when she realizes she has a new friend to play with! I'll post plenty of pictures once we have her back here....but here are the 3 pics I have of her so far, from the people in Tennessee at the pound and the vet's office.

How are you getting her?
I work at an airport for a shipping company, and the hangar next to us is Northwest, who ship dogs all the time. This time of year makes me so angry because they'll leave dogs sitting in cages out on the runway for an hour at a time waiting to be uploaded, even though its -20 out.
I see your pictures all the time, and I know your dog is very happy and I'm sure you know what your doing. But I worry about dogs being shipped with weather the way it is lately...

She's being sent by a professional dog transport company, on a climate controlled truck...not by plane. I wouldn't want her sent by plane, because I have heard stories like what you're describing. She is being taken directly from the vet's office by the shipping company, and driven here with a bunch of other puppies that were pulled from the pound that were in danger of being euthanized. I'm not going to pretend that 2 days on a truck is the best case situation, but it's certainly better than her being put to sleep.

Cute!

Her name is Molly Unless, that is, we get her and that name doesn't seem to fit her well, then we might change it.

My parents have a dog named Molly. Just don't take her to a hippy festival, because she'll think everybody's calling her name.
