BELOW IS AN EXCERPT FROM AN E-MAIL RECEIVED 2/22/08 FROM OPERATION ROGER DRIVER SUSAN M:
Hello, my name is Susan M, Crete Driver, and new member of Operation Roger. On Tues Feb 19, 2008 I picked up 2 animals from West Palm Beach, Florida. We met at a travel plaza on the turnpike. I picked up a puppy named Iceman. He's 12 weeks old, Deaf, and is a mini aussie shepherd. He is going to his new home in Indiana, to a family with a Deaf member. I also got a cat named Killer. She is going to Massachussetts to her new family. Both animals are doing great. They are spending a few days with me during my hometime, then we will get them to their homes.

Puppy (Iceman) loves to chew, and run and play. Lots of energy. He has alot of toys to chew and play with. He is very smart and learns quickly. I built steps out of boxes for him, so he can climb up and down off my bed. He also buries one of his chewies in my blankets. He is also becoming housetrained. He did have some accidents in my bedroom, but that's ok, he's just a baby and is learning. I take him outside alot and he uses the bathroom very good. I give him praise when he potties outside. He is a loveable furball. He rides well in my big truck, and small nissan truck. He went with me to get my transmission line fixed at the dealer, and he rides well. He's learning where to lay to be most comfortable. He does not like being in his cage with the door closed. He is learning how to be a trucker dog. He learns quick. He will be in his cage with the door open, and he hides his chewies in there too.
