Great video Mike. So glad everyone is meshing well and Rusty feels so at home. Very touching video of the first meeting, thanks for sharing.

Such a long trip for an old man Nanook but it was all worth it.

Kleenex stock just went up again.

Way to go Mike! Thanks for sharing the Video with us.

You're The Best!!

Oscar's Mom · 11-05-2007, 05:26 AM

Oh Mike! Thanks for the video! I am so happy for you and for Rusty! In a perfect world, Rusty would be in Jersey but it is not a perfect world. You ARE a hero for opening up your heart and your home to Rusty! Hats off to ya!!! Or would that be toboggans???

altigger74 · 11-05-2007, 05:29 AM

Woo! I've been reading this since the beginning along with everyone else, I went to bed and Rusty was just touching down I get up and he's as happy as any lab can be. Crying at 7 in the morning though........ oh well it's worth it

simonandhallie · 11-05-2007, 05:38 AM

I'm not supposed to cry at 8:30am!!!! What a sweet little face Rusty has, you two were meant for each other

I'm so happy for both of you (and Megan). Rusty couldn't have found a better home than with you Mike.

Patti · 11-05-2007, 05:41 AM

What a wondeful new start for Rusty. I know Megan must be so happy he with you, but so sad he can't be with her.
Now we have Maddie's trip with Angie to get excited about!!
What great people we have here

Hokule'a · 11-05-2007, 05:42 AM

What a wonderful way to start a Monday morning - with tears of joy

Thank you so much for sharing that touching video - you are the best! BTW, loved that line about 'only in Alaska do they unload the guns before the dogs' - LOL!

Betty'sMom · 11-05-2007, 05:53 AM

I am eating breakfast AND crying...both at the same time!!I was doing okay until you started hugging him!!

I am SO looking forward to seeing all three of them together! Life is good!!!

He really latched onto me as his "rescuer" who opened the crate. I don't blame him. The flight was 11 1/2 hours and he was in the crate for 13 1/2.

What turned it around was that Megan had given me a few words that he recognizes, "Car ride" among them. When I said that, all was well. He is now my shadow.

Jack and Eddie have accepted him wonderfully. The dog trainer who went with me to pick him up and supervise the introduction was amazed. She told me I am not going to have any problems at all with them. I'm delighted.

Rusty has been pacing a bit around the house and around the yard, but he's doing it with tail waggin' and a smile on his face. Did I say I'm delighted?

AWESOME AWESOME AWESOME

Can't wait to see more pics!

Thanks for sharing the video of the beautiful meeting. Rusty seems like he is in great shape,man if I would be cramped in a crate that long I would have had to crawl out.

livingdustmops · 11-05-2007, 06:27 AM

Mike, who would have know a couple of years ago when you only had Eddie that you soon would have another dog and then guess what? Another dog.

I love stories with happy endings and this story tops the cake for me. We all dearly love Meghan and you have always ranked right at the top so this story couldn't get any better.

I know all of us will wait with baited breath for more video's of Rusty and the boys.

Big Hugs to all of you.
