I just wanted to say you all have earned you wings for this incredible mission. You have all gone above and beyond the call of duty.

I also wanted to say that I would help pay for hotel rooms for anyone on the Cody convoy in order to keep Cody and all of you safe from harm.

Please be safe and have a very exciting trip. You will all be in my thoughts and prayers tomorrow and make sure you take pictures, pictures, pictures!

did get verified ,then to lift the take out limit I had to jump a few more hoops...the trouble was that it all takes few days...no matter what route I took with them..and the monies had to be in Deb and Coles
hands by today..the owner of Cody only takes cash or postal checks..surprise surprise...
....I am indeed glad they are so strict and careful..I just wished I had a clue that I couldn't just transfer the funds to my account and then wire them to Deb..can you tell how often I don't play with large sums of monies?...I am so challenged ...chuckle...but all is well and we are set to go...and when I get back I'm going behave really..be as quiet as a little field mouse enjoying a day in the meadow...grin...ce

I can say that paypal is VERY STRICT! They must secure every base they can and it really is for the best. I had to go thru all this a year ago. I know of no place on teh web taht is more sage or secure than Paypal is and I'm gla they are for teh safety of any one who sends money. You can get verified with them in 3-4 days, making you a premier member, no aditional cost, except you have been verifed by them. They make a few small deposits in your account, you then verify what they were (caution enter them exactly, after 2 trys and mesing up they will lock down your account, so enter them carefully) and then you will have no further troubles.

Since you know your route, look up hotels along the route, so you know where you would try to go if the weather gets bad. Then look and see whether any hotels take dogs. You can look under the Pet Hotel link on the Bulldogsworld home page, too. Maybe Mapquest would tell you where the hotels are along your route. If time would allow, I would mail you one of our excess weather radios to take along. (My husband loves these.)

Words can not express how much of a true,kind,sweet,etc..........you are. I can not believe how far you went to help out this poor little bully. Like I said you are a True Angel;)))) God Bless You and have a safe and wonderful Mother's Day you deserve it.

I was just teasing about the Holiday Inn...but I think it is very sweet of you all to worry about us travelers. Cody sure is having a change in his luck, isn't he?!

Thank you,
Deb

Years ago when I took my first bully on the road, we stayed at a Motel 6 once as they only took pets. Since then we have stayed at Amerisuites with Flora once, and I saw a Labrador there. So they take big dogs. I do think Holiday Inns take dogs sometimes, too.

I agree, after you get him, make a decision on what to do that is safe for all involved. I'll chip in on a hotel room, too.

I have to admit I'm chuckling at the thought of Cody, who's never even been inside a house, spending the night at a Holiday Inn!

Good job on coordinating this. You are well on your way to earning your wings.

If by some chance the weather gets to bad to travel. Please get a hotel room and wait it out. Let me know if you need one I'll cover the cost just be carful it's hard enough driving in bad weather without the nervous dog in the back. I'll be home all week end if you need me to cover the hotel bill for anyone on the journey.

on this...Gary did you ever dream this would become reality??
To the Cody convoy....SAFE TRIP you will be in my thoughts and prayers.

Ce! You and the others have done such a great job! It is dizzying and mind boggling what a flurry you have been in. Cheers for your mom who also came to the rescue.
