Off to transport 4 rescued Border Collies

[LeftyFingerPop]

The inside of my Blazer is going to look like a blizzard with the shedding fur of 4 nervous dogs.

What will really be fun is if they don't get along.

Wooooo!

Have a good day Roastnears.

1. Don't they have dramamine for border collies?

[LeftyFingerPop]

2. I think I'm going to need the Dramamine LOL

...transport has been delayed 30 minutes...they sound like a hand full.

[undeterred]

3. You take the dramamine and let the border collies drive

Hey, I know someone who kept getting a rescue border collie every year... eventually he bought a sheep farm for the border collies.

[LeftyFingerPop]

4. That's really great...

those dogs NEED a job...keeps them happy.

[undeterred]

5. Usually you get the border collies for the sheep farm

and not the reverse.

[LeftyFingerPop]

6. Unless you REALLY like border collies...n/t

[undeterred]

7. yes, that is the case

and then you can justify getting even more!

22. It's amazing how many people get sheep for their border collies

Hell, if we could afford the land, we would get it, just so we would have sheep for our Border Collie.

We have to stick him outside if we want to watch anything involving sheep.

8. Thanks for volunteering.

Good luck with your/their trip.

[LeftyFingerPop]

9. Thanks flvegan...it is probably less than 1% of the good work you do...

but it is something.

I'm still waiting...the person in the "train" delivering to me is stuck in construction traffic.

10. I can't wait to hear how this turned out!

Please give us a full report! What are you going to do with the dogs after you transport them?

:hug: for your great work!

11. Good for you. 'Tis a noble thing you're setting out to do, indeed.

I hope it goes well for you, and for the pooches.

12. I once transported my female alpha Boxer

With a female alpha Rottweiler/Lab cross in the back end of a '66 Falcon Wagon. They'd known each other when the Rott/Lab was a pup but hadn't seen each other in over a year.

I just popped them in the back and started driving. They roared and tangled and the whole car swayed from side to side all the way home but it was more noise and posturing than anything else. They had it all figured out by the time we got there (the Boxer was still top dog).

They were 2 of the nicest dogs I ever had, too.

13. My twice rescued Border collie, Sally, applauds your action

Me, too! :thumbsup:

[LeftyFingerPop]

14. Mission accomplished.

3 females, one male. All wonderful dogs.

The dogs were transported to a farm that adopts them out.

One of the girls had a pretty bad eye infection, and she was brought to the on-site vet immediately.

Two of the girls were crated in collapsible canvas crates, and they got in a fight THROUGH THE CRATES. That was interesting. :rofl:

The boy was un-crated in the back...he slept all the way.

The sweetest shy girl was in the front seat. Wanted to take her home!

Everyone is there safe and sound...and I'm tired.

:hi:

15. Congratulations on a job well done!

16. The girls were "discussing" a black male lab

who was off leash in the woods today and got sworn at by a dog hater.

[femmocrat]

17. Glad it went well!

Hope the little one with the eye infection has a speedy recovery and they all find wonderful homes.

20. Congratulations. Great work.

[BrklynLiberal]

18. Youare a wonderful and kind person..Those dogs and their new owners

will forever be in your debt.

This is a truly great thing you are doing.

[BrklynLiberal]

19. You can try giving them Rescue Remedy..the Bach Floral Esence.

you can get it in any health food store..and some pharmacies.

[LeftyFingerPop]

21. I just kind of threw this thread in here because I was bored waiting for the dogs...

and I want to thank everyone who responded.

I've been doing this for 3 years now, sometimes every week, so I really don't even think about it that much anymore.

That being said, I do enjoy doing it...it gives me a warm feeling.

Bless all you dog lovers out there. :hug:

23. I used to transport rescues here in Georgia.

But due to the high cost of gas, I haven't done it in a while.

[NJmaverick]

24. Good for you

where are they being transported to?
