What a doll. Thank you for the update and the cute pix. I'll continue to pray for a speedy recovery. I adopted my dogs from my daughter's dance teacher, but I believe she had both dogs shipped from different breeders. I thought that sounded ok, but Your story will definitely make me think before I buy dog out of state -- I think I would drive/fly to pick up this very precious cargo after hearing how badly his kennel was damaged.
Enjoy your day with your new furbaby!
