Some of you know hubby and I drive a semi (well until I got hurt) so have a lot of truckin friends.

Well last week we had some friends that were in a wreck. Both taken to the hospital but their little dog was taken to some shelter.

They were released from the hospital about 10 days later well it was yesterday and tried to find their baby only to learn that she had been euthanized because no one claimed her !!!!! Before you ask the family just didn't think about the the baby and assumed she was being cared for.

I just wonder if there is any way to set up some kind of system to help the truckers out there as I am guessing here but I figure 80% of them have a pet on that truck. It never dawned on me what happens to the babies in an event like this but give me a break here these people are really our lifelines if not for them we would not get our food,doggie stuff,clothes even our homes. So there has to be a way to set up a rescue ring to take a drivers pets in the event they have a wreck or get sick on the truck and end up hospitalized so they can be reunited with their beloved pet or the family can get that baby home. Some of these men and women their fur baby is all they have and they do dote on them like you would not believe.

It frightens me as when I am driving all our fur babies take turns in the truck and right now Sebastian is on the truck with his daddy they are team a sick team but a team. You can not imagine the bond these drivers and their babies have after all they are together literaly 24/7

Any ideas on how we might can help these knights of the road ?

Also I will add this ... I know what the general thought of a trucker is and I used to think they were trashy until I started driving in my Ralphie baby jeans and sweater and it did not take me long to go buy those 4 dollar shorts at a walmart sale...makes you sick when you ruin that $100 jeans or that $125 sweater and forget what happened to my cute little prada shoes that my mom gave me

lol I learned real quick why we dress like we do out there...even my cute Jammies got nailed
