All for the love of a dog.

How we got started as ground pet transporters

Wow, time flies. It has been almost a year and hundreds of pet transported door to door. As we look forward to the new year, a lot of exciting things are happening here. My wife Norma is joining me soon on the road. We are so excited to be able to do this. She had cats when she was younger but never had a dog. After we got married, I found our first dog, Todd (from the Fox and the Hound movie, our daughter named him). He was a Shepard Lab mix and Norma just fell in love with him from the start. He was only six months old when I found him walking at the side of a road abandoned. I stopped and got out and he ran right up to me like he was ready to get out of the Pennsylvania cold and go home. I took him in my cruiser and dropped him off at home. I told Norma to not let him in the bed and to put him in a spare room. I didn't want him to sleep in the bed so that I could work on training him to sleep on the floor on a doggie bed. When I returned home from work and walked into the bedroom guess what I was greeted with? You got it. My wife sleeping away and a little puppy head popping up from the pillow next to her. Todd lived a long time and enjoyed sharing the bed with us until the day he passed away. He went on every vacation that we took and was a "brother" to our daughter. They grew up together and were best buds. We were only able to have one child. Todd was our little boy. Norma always said that she asked God for another child and he gave us a little furry four legged one.
    Todd is now gone and still sadly missed. I retired from police work and started transporting K9's for police departments and the business went from there. Norma is ending her career as an elementary school teacher and I can't wait for her to join me on the road. She can keep up with the emails, schedules and even this blog and Facebook posts.  I feel so fortunate to have her and can't wait for my best friend to help with our furry friends. The dogs and cats that we transport coast to coast by ground.

Thanks for everything and have a great year!

This is Todd. What an awesome fellow he was.
