Kudo's to the Pikeville shelter staff and volunteers! Working on a tight timeline, they had just days to arrange transport to Lexington and obtain a Health Cert for travel.

Buddy "had" to be in Scottsburg, IN by Friday night in order to hitch a ride on previously scheduled transport to Chicago. Rose and Jane did it with time to spare!!

Going into foster care 3/30 so we'll soon have some insight to his personality and habits!
