He's 8 weeks old and already such a well-traveled pup!
Charlie
Charlie was born in Indiana (his name there was Bailey). Today he made a big plane trip to his new home in Campbell, California!
We found him a non-stop flight from Indianapolis to San Francisco - about an hour's drive from Campbell and Alice flew over Friday to retrieve him. He went in cargo, because even at 8 weeks, Charlie's a big guy! A good thing, too - because under the seat next door was a *cat*!
Here's a picture of Charlie's wheels - all set and ready to greet him.
There are his new toys, a bed and blanket, a canteen with water, and a leash.
I arrived at the airport very early to scope everything out - found the ATA baggage office, reparked the car really close to it, and set in to wait.
The plane landed, and Alice and the other passengers began arriving in the baggage area. And we waited. And waited. And waited. Bags began arriving, but no Charlie! At last... here comes the carrier...
There he is!
Got him!
There's a squirmy puppy inside and now that he sees everyone, he wants OUT! We stuck our fingers through the grate and he licked them and quieted immediately.
He's in there!
Then we dashed out the door, across the street, and into the parking garage. There, where all the parking near the edges of the garage (close to the airport) have been fenced off to cars, we let him out.
Sniffing...
In the parking garage.
His bedding was clean, so first he did lots of business, then got down to some serious play!
Too busy for water!
Cute pup!
Time for a drink.
Calming down.
Then after awhile it was time to get in the car and go home. He was a sleepy lap puppy all the way!

When Ken brought Duncan home to us he puked all over himself in his crate but once I saw that little Golden face, I didn't mind the mess and scooped him up. I normally wait several days to name a pet but I asked him, "Are you a Duncan?" (Ken wanted to name him Jake, but I wasn't set on it). Without a beat he winked at me, a good solid wink, so I took that as an affirmation that he was indeed a Duncan.
Charlie is so cute as a pup! I'm going to start over with your blog and play catch-up. I'm so happy I found you!
Thanks for sharing!
