Hi Sue,
Just writing to let you know we finally made it home. It was great to finally meet you. The puppies are wonderful! We had a few problems on the way home. About 45 minutes into our trip the passenger window of the car shattered. I don't know how, maybe something hit it, but we heard a huge bang and it was in about a million pieces. Luckily most of it just shattered and stayed in place, but about 1/4 of the window came flying into the car. My mom cut her hand pretty good and a piece of the inside of the door was cut, but thankfully no one was really hurt. We had to pull over and knock the rest of the window out and drive about 20 minutes until the next exit without a window. What fun...a little chilly... and Ryan was scared.. The puppies were safely in their crate. We just happened to get off on an exit where their was a tiny little auto body shop about a half mile down the road. The guys got a window from a junkyard and fixed it right away. But, it put us about 1 1/2 hours back AND over $100! We also had to drive for about 6 hours in the pouring rain. When the rain let up a little bit, we stopped and let the babies out to go potty. We got off and pulled over....and got stuck about 1 foot down in some mud! (I thought it was just gravel/sand on the side of the road, but it was squishy, wet mud!) Ryan and my mom got out and into the mud and tried to push me out, and then a nice lady pulled up and helped us. It didn't take long before we were out of the mud, but the mud was all over us!! We, of course, took pictures of our adventures. Other than these few mishaps, it was a good ride home. We got home about 9:15 our time (10:15 your time). My little boys sure like the puppies, as did Emily!! I was worried that she would be jealous, but her tail was wagging a mile a minute!! Tomorrow should be lots of fun, once we get unpacked and get the house cleaned up. The weather should be nice as well--55-60 degrees and sunny...yeah!! I think my mom wants to keep Noodles. She sure is a sweetheart. She wasn't nervous at all. She is very cuddly and sweet, but can get a little fiesty along with Noah when they are playing.
Well, now everyone is in bed, the babies are sleeping like little angels in their crate, and all is well...hopefully it will be all night. I'll make sure to send pictures of Noah. I will try to get a picture of Kay (or Mike, if he picks up Noodles) and Noodles when they come pick her up. It will be sad to see her go, especially after a few more days with her.
Thank you so much for the lovely little angel. We will take great care of him.
Chris, Ryan, Josh, Zack, Emily and Noah
