Gotcha Day!!

January 23 was Gotcha Day for Lanny!! It was a long day, of getting out to the airport, getting on a flight to Calgary, then a connecting  flight to Winnipeg.  It was a super cold day in Winnipeg, while a blizzard was blowing in Edmonton!! Ray was delayed at Customs and I was getting panicky that he wouldn't arrive and I'd be going home without my puppy :(((  WestJet was great--as always--they took me to an office where I could call him and find out what was going on.  I was so relieved when he arrived!!  We had to put Lanny and his crate through the security baggage right away, as it was about an hour from flight time.  Once I boarded, I couldn't relax until I was given the form that showed that Lanny was on board too!.  Then after we got into Edmonton, something wasn't working with the baggage area, then they got that going, and everyone picked up their stuff but another woman and I.  Even all the other oversize stuff had come through. She and her 2 little kids were waiting for their larger dog--the smaller had travelled in the cabin with them.  The little boy was crying, scared something had happened--I knew just how he felt!! Again, such relief when Lanny and his crate came through the plastic strips!! Home we went to get settled in.  The cutest little tri puppy in the world was mine at last!!! ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥  He's still the cutest, by the way!!!


PS I can't seem to download photos.  I tried to do a post the other day and had problems, but thought it was just a glitch that would go away. No such luck. A small circle that changes colors shows up on the photo link window and seems to freeze the whole thing. If I figure out how to fix this, I'll post the photos of Lanny's first day here!! But I wanted everyone to know that I didn't forget Lanny's Gotcha Day!!!
