Five days ago my co-admin on the
Boxer Mailing List posted the following:
"Many of you remember the story of my younger son. He would NOT
get a dog because he didn't want to experience the pain of losing one.
Then, he decided he wanted a Boxer! He adopted Dempsey from Greater
Ohio Boxer Rescue and Dempsey was flown from Chicago to Phoenix on
PetAirways. The PetAirways flight was my Christmas/Birthday/Valentine's
Day gift to my son. :)
Now, the man-who-wouldn't-get-a-dog wants to adopt a buddy for Dempsey!
He wants another laid back Boxer (certainly NOT a
Paris-Ivy type!).
And, once again, GOBR found the perfect Boxer girlie
for him.
He wants to adopt her so I started looking at PetAirways again. BIG
PROBLEM: that airline is no longer in the air! I got a reply to a
contact form that told me PetAirways plans on resuming flights later in
2012. Then I looked on Google to see if I could find out why ... seems
PetAirways got into a financial crunch because of a change in aircraft.
NY Times story (in Feb) quoted owners as saying they are committed to
resuming flights for pets.
But ... that leaves my son out right now. I just talked to him and he's
so disappointed. I will NOT fly a dog on a commercial airline (and no
airline would fly pets in/out of Phoenix now anyway). There's no way he
can take 6 days off work to drive to Ohio and back.
Maybe this little Boxer girl just isn't meant to be his."
There is so much more to this story but for now I would like to introduce you to that perfect Boxer girlie. Her rescue name is Mary Jane but her new dad is going to change it, he says he won't know her name until he looks into her eyes.
