Do you miss Bucky?

I did. But, I don't anymore. He arrived in Colorado safe and sound late last night. Since we have decided to stay in Colorado for the better part of the summer, we thought it would be better for Bucky to come stay here with us rather than stay in the kennel for so long. Getting him from the kennel in Florida to my moms house in Colorado has been a logistical and financial nightmare! In order for him to fly, he needed a health certificate from a vet, he needed a flight out here and he needed someone to take him to the vet and the airport since I am already in Colorado. After going back and forth with Sam and Brian and my neighbor Patti, we had it all figured out. It was going to be a pain in the neck, but my friends are awesome and were willing to go above and beyond to help me out. After everything was figured out, I called the kennel where he staying to let them know what was going to be happening. That's when they told me that they would take him to the vet and drop him off at the airport for a small fee. Great!!! I wish I had known that before!!! So, I called up everyone who was going to help and told them the good news...they were off the hook! (Except Sam, I still needed her to do a few things including drop his crate off at the kennel). So, on Wednesday he had his vet appointment and I thought everything was going fine till I got a phone call. It was the vet and she told me that I had forgotten to have his shot records faxed over from the base vet. What a ditz I am!! I was freaking out because I didn't think they would give Bucky his health cert. that was required for him to fly because the base vet was already closed for the day (that's another story!). Luckily, she was very nice and just gave Bucky his rabies vaccine again and it was all good.

On Thursday, Bucky headed to the airport. I was all set to pick him up at 8:30pm...and like a good little girl, I called to check on his flight. And wouldn't you know it...Bucky has the same luck with flying as I do. His connection in Texas was delayed due to weather. His flight wasn't going to be in till 10:30. Poor dog, at this point his has been traveling since noon. That is a long day for anyone! Anyway, my sister Ana and I headed out to the airport to pick Bucky up. He was VERY excited to see us! We arrived home after midnight and we went for a walk so Bucky could do his business and then we went to bed. At least, that was the plan. Bucky had so much energy from being caged up all night he had a different idea. The only problem was, everyone else in the house was asleep and I was exhausted!!! He was going CRAZY in my room and wouldn't settle down to go to sleep. I guess I can't blame him...but I was tired and I just wanted to sleep! So...about 3:30am I finally fell asleep for a little while till Bucky woke me up yet again. All in all I probably got about 2 hours of sleep.

This morning he is doing better. He has been able to explore the house and he had some food so he is much more calm. Abby was absolutely ecstatic when she first saw Bucky, it was very cute. Now we just have to get settled in and hopefully we will have a better night than we did last night!
