Thank you, Kelly Watson & Family

Please keep in mind your miles are tax deductible.  Its not a huge savings, but every bit helps.

If the ratty could meet me in Trussville Alabama I could take her to Oxford. I just don't drive past Trussville by myself.  I would love to help so let me know if this would be possible.

my email address is PKnight124@aol.com. Please contact me there IF I can help and if so, I will send my phone numbers. I won't be able to check my email until  lunch time today but I will check!!

Pami,

I just sent you an email.  I am trying to minimize the transfer time so if someone is able to take all of leg one I will need to go with that one, but your offer is great!  Thanks much!

WHERE zactly in Birmingham is she? I mean what city? ( I am trying to figure out how far from Trussville she actually is)

I am in Ohio but if it's okay to cross post I can put this out of some of the Russell Rescue people around and see if anyone is in that area that can volunteer??

Mary Beth is 100% right.   Crosspost away!

Ok, so nobody can tell me exactly where she is?

ok, as it stands right this minute, I am picking the baby up Friday morning for transport to Oxford!

Aww Tracey thank you. I am just so happy to be able to help this pregnant mom and her unborn babies. I am thrilled actually. I hope the rest of the legs of the trip fill in soon. I haven't been on the site in quite some time and this morning I stopped in and that thread was the first and only thing that caught me eye. Can we say "meant to be?"

ummm... NO. I guess I will just have to keep the whole bunch if she starts delivering in my car...

I wll just give her some gentle smooches and light hugs then, ok? I will tell her how much her ratty family loves her!

yes I will definitely take my camera!! I did see that nasty place she is in. God love her. I can't think about it too hard cos it breaks my heart.

PAMI--YOU'RE MY HERO!!!

No need to worry about the squeezing.  She gave birth today.  I think 5 so far, but waiting for an update if there were more.  She did give birth in the shelter, but her temp foster mom has her now.

8!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  That is right!  She had 8 babies and here are the pictures.  2 Girls and 6 Boys

I am very happy and they are adorable!

Is everyone healthy and mom is doing okay, producing milk and all that? Can't take anymore puppy heartbreak........

So are they were they will be fostered now or is transport still needed?? Just curious cause I'm nosey!!

They are in a temp foster home and look good so far.  They are with a Ratbone foster mom so she is keeping her eyes on them.  They need to be transported to their long term foster home in Florida.
