"It was May 5, 2000, and what a day it was. The day started at 4:00am when my Grandmama got me up. I slept with her the night before, and it was so nice. Anyway we got into the car and drove for an hour and a half to the airport in Asheville, NC. We got there in time for the 6:30 flight to Cincinnati, Ohio, which would connect to a flight to Seattle, Washington, where Ma lives. Now my Grandmama, Dyanne, tried to make a reservation but was told she could not. So we're at the airport and this big dog comes in. Well guess what she had a reservation and I could not get on the plane even though I was there first. Grandmama was upset it's a long trip, it was so early in the morning, and it was very foggy also.
There was a flight to Atlanta that would connect to a flight that was going to Washington also. It was a hour longer flight, but I was able to get on it. At 11:55 am Pacific Time (2:55 pm Eastern) I met MA!!! I was a little scared from my long trip, but it didn't take more then a few minutes to calm down. Ma's next door neighbor held me all the way home to Ma's house, she so nice.
It took 45 minutes to get to Ma's house. There she fed me and then I met the other kids one by one. First I met Bella. She growled at me to let me know she is alpha around here. Then I met Priscilla she growled at me too, but you know what I just growled back. You see I have a very out going personally, and I'm not going to let someone like Priscilla intimidate me!!! Then I met the boys. Rikki didn't know if he liked me and Sammy wanted to play, but he played too rough, so Ma says we can not play together if she is not there.
Well it was a long day for me, but it all went well, I didn't dirty myself in my crate. Ma was at the airport when I got there and I think I'm going to love Washington." ------Cherrie
