Hi everyone!
I am sorry it took so long to post but our flight didn't get home last night until 10:40pm and then we introduced Gracie and Lulu and had them play for a few minutes before letting Gracie have a long rest after her day of travel.

We met Cindy and Gracie at the Air Tran ticket counter at a little after 2pm. My sister fell in love with Gracie at first sight (in person--she already loved her from her pictures). We got to meet Cindy and talk with her which was great. Cindy had driven two hours to meet us at the airport--isn't that so nice? She is a very nice person and she took great care in raising Gracie. You can tell because Gracie is such a wonderful dog.

Gracie sat between my sister, Kelli and Cindy while we talked and then it was time for us to go to the gate and try to get on an earlier flight so we didn't have to wait around so long (didn't work, by the way). Cindy and Gracie said goodbye and we were off to the gate.

If you have ever been in the Atlanta airport, isn't it HUGE? We had to get on a train to get to Concourse C to get our flight, go down a huge escalator, then up another one, lots of noise, etc. and Gracie was an ANGEL!! She didn't shake at all and everyone admired how adorable she was. We ended up having to wait a long time for our scheduled flight at 8:40 and Gracie curled up in my sister's lap. They were comfortable with each other right away. Gracie didn't make a peep and settled in for the long wait.

After our flight, Kelli picked up the carrier from under the seat and opened it a bit and Gracie stuck her little head out. It was the cutest thing! None of the passengers had known that we had a dog with us until that point because Gracie was so calm and quiet in the carrier. Everyone "oohed and aahed" over how cute she was.

Then we were off to Gracie's new home and to meet Lulu which went really well. Lulu was a bit timid but she gave Gracie a kiss and they followed each other around a bit until we left.

It was such a great day!! Thank you Cindy for everything!! The only picture I am able to post right now is the one of my sister at the airport with Gracie. For some reason, even though I resized the others, I am getting an error message that the file is too large. I will have to fiddle with those tomorrow and see what I can do.
