Good luck to both you and Finn!
Thanks....and prayers please for Ellie, Finn's foster mom. Sounds like she's running on empty with so may critters to take care of.

Could she meet you half way, and could you get a friend or relative to go with you?

Joined BYC and posted there asking if anyone was willing to transport. I'm starting to feel like I'm begging. I just know we can't make that full trip right now due to my husband's work schedule. And he would not be happy with me making it alone. I keep telling myself that if it's meant to be it will happen, but I still keep throwing it out there because you don't bring home fish unless you go fishing.

Have you put an ad on Craigs List closest to Tyler TX? May be a long shot but couldn't hurt.
I found someone to transport a buckling for me from OH to NC in April by placing an ad on CL in Columbus. Traded him a couple of yearling does, one of which was already bred. That was the deal he agreed to, but I contacted him the week before he came and asked him if he wanted a buckling too. (I was over run with bucklings this spring)
It was a long shot, but in this case it worked out great. He is happy with the animals he got, and his wife and mine are facebook friends now. The bred doe had twins last weekened. :)

well, any news about finn? hope you hear soon and its all good
Still sending inquires and waiting to see what happens. I am so ready to rent a car and just drive alone. Eleven hours away doesn't sound like much...but that eleven hour drive back would be a doozy. If nothing comes through by the end of this week I'll probably be on the road the next weekend. This will sound a little nuts but I can already see and feel him when we're outside with the goats.
When were were putting the boys in their billy pen last night we were talking about the possibility of coyotes coming up this winter. (We've heard plenty of them.) David said "Well we're not getting another guardian dog. One is enough." So in both of our hearts he is with us already.

Eleven hours back with a big dog would be more than a doozy! Can you find anyone to go with you?

Things are starting to get interesting. My best friend has a friend in TX who saw my shared FB post of Finn. She is involved in rescue also. She and Ellie are willing to talk about a potential relay that will get Finn from Austin to the OK boarder. Am hoping my sister can help run a leg of the relay. She could either get him from the border to Ada (our home town ) or from Ada to OKC or Tulsa. We could use one more person, preferably for the OK boarder to Ada leg but we'll take what we can get. :fl

That would be willing awesome if you can work that out. I was giving away some doves once and they got a 8 hour trip from 4 different people. It is so awesome when people can work together to do good. Warms the heart. Good luck.
