SOPHIE #149

#149 SOPHIE (Maine Coon Cat) Avenal, NJ to Johnson City, TN Sophie #149, a 2 y/o 8# female Maine Coon Cat began her travels in Avenal, NJ, with Christine S. She was picked up by driver Tony H who was told Sophie was very agressive toward humans and to be very careful of her. She was picked up near Johnson City, TN, Monica M or Catherine J., who will be fosters for Sophie and taken to her new home where she will, hopefully, become better adjusted. This is a sad example of how children can affect the life of a pet. Some children were teasing her and she had had enough. Defending herself, she attacked them. She was then put into isolation. She later bit her foster "Mom" and her daughter. Operation Roger Tony H pu 10/3/06 - del 10/4/06 *************************************************************

SKYLAR #179

#179 SKYLAR (LabX) Little Rock, AR - Dallas, TX SKYLAR #179, a 2 m/o 12#, female Labrador mix rescued by Stacy H in Little Rock, AR, was one of three puppies Stacy found running the streets. They were part of a litter of ten. Regretfully, Stacy said she wanted to but couldn't rescue all of them. She then contacted Debbie B of the AR Southern Dog Rescue for help in finding homes for them. The adopter, Kelly M and her family of Arlington,TX, had already been approved for another pet. When that one fell through, Debbie quickly e-mailed Kelly a picture of Skylar and the rest, as they say, is history. Driver Sue W was on her way out of OH through the Little Rock area toward her home in TX when Skylar came on the board. She immediately notified the co-ordinators and Debbie of her route and arranged to pick up the pup in Alexander, AR, at a small truck strop just west of Little Rock. She met with Kelly at Wal-Mart in Arlington, TX, about midnight. Sue reports Skylar (now renamed Abbie) was fightened at first but soon curled up in a ball on the floor with her head on the gear shift boot and went sound to sleep. Enroute, they visited with Sue's brother. Sue thought Skylar would stay up with her brother while she went to bed. But, no. Skylar came into the room, put her paws up on the edge of the bed, and whined. Sue lifted her up onto the bed where Skylar promptly curled up into a ball, laid her head on Sue's ankles, and went fast asleep.

SASSY #178

#178 SASSY (JRT) Little Rock, AR - Nashville,TN SASSY #178, a fiesty Jack Russell Terrier female was picked up in Little Rock, AR, from Debbie by driver Glenn W. At first, Sassy was timid and shaky, but it wasn't long before Glenn's kind voice and soft touch changed all that. Before the trip was over, Sassy had Glenn thinking hard about having her on the truck with him all the time. Thanks, Glenn. Once again the caring heart of an Operation Roger driver has made a difference in the life of a rescued pet.

Many blessings to you and all of your group. Please thank (again) trucker "Don", who was her chauffeur, for his kindness. Stella arrived cool as a cucumber and very relaxed and happy. She slept on his bed all night during the trip. We found out from the family that today was her deceased owners birthday, which makes her arrival extra special. Don would probably appreciate knowing that! Barbara Hatch, Leon County Humane Society, Tallahassee, FL *************************************************************
