A fast trip to the East Coast in the planning

2400 miles in five days.

We are in the process of adopting a rescue dog as a little sister to our Buddy Joe. A friend from high school now works on the staff of the county shelter in Chatham County Georgia and lives in Savannah. They have a small Miniature Schanuzer that has been abandoned by her owner and is in need of a new home. Since Diane already has six dogs of her own it is impossible for her to keep her so she thought of us next. Now I'm trying to put together a very quick trip from Oklahoma City to Savannah. Two days on the road to get there, one day to take care of everything with the shelter and two days to get back home. Am planning to have my son, Alex, go with me to help with the driving but am having some scheduling problems. He cannot leave until Wednesday. Our friends in Savannah plan on leaving for vacation on Thursday. Stay tuned to see how this drama turns out. As the attached picture of her shows she is a sweet little dog and needs a good home.

Oh, she is just adorable! But Savannah is a gorgeous place! Why not take Joanne & the RV and enjoy it a while?

Shelley,

We love Savannah, spent some time there in 2007. We have friends there, he is County Manager (that's like a City Manager) and she is Director of Volunteers at the county animal shelter. Unfortunately, scheduling does not allow us the time to take the coach. Right now it looks like mid-November before we will even be able to make a fast round trip in the car.
