My good friend Summit's mom rescued a very sweet and calm Siberian Husky, and volunteered to drive him to his new furever home. The thing is, Summi's mummi lives in central Iowa, where Thunder (previously named El Guapo, which means handsome one) was in a shelter, and his new home was in Colorado Springs, Colorado!!! That's 850 miles away! Well, my mom being the puppy lover she is, volunteered to go with Summi's mummi! Mom knew they would have a great time together, and she loves helping save a life!
Thunder was extremely calm and also apparently very tired. He slept the entire way, and only woke up long enough to take his potty breaks. He totally confused the two humans cuz he did NOT act like a typical Siberian! They kept looking for a zipper to his Sibe suit, cuz they figured there must be a cat in there somewhere!
Here is a picture of Thunder in the Jeep. Sleeping.
Then mom gave him her coat to lay his head on, cuz she didn't think the purse was a good pillow.
Aaaahhhh, that looks much more comfy!They stopped for some dinner, and took Thunder for a little potty break. Apparently he really likes the snow, cuz all he wanted to do was lay down in it and get belly rubs!
Yep, he looks totally comfy in the snow!
But, he also looked really comfy in the hotel room, where he continued to sleep all the time. Mom and Summi's mummi said he was the sleepingest Sibe they had ever seen! They figured he hadn't had a good night's rest the whole time in the shelter, so he was catching up.
Mom also got some cute video of Thunder eating his first meal with them.
Notice how gently he takes the food! He has the humans hand feeding him!! He is also spitting out the pieces of dry food that Summi's mummi is trying to feed him! He's got them sucked in already!
In this video, he will only eat the pieces of Natural Balance Lamb roll that is in his bowl! What a smart boy!
Tomorrow, will be part two of the rescue road trip, featuring Skyler!!
Stay tuned!

I love your mom! And Summi's mummi! They both did SUCH wonderful things for Thunder and Skyler - so generous and giving and worked so hard and drove SO far! And look at how cute Thunder is! Wooooo, I'm so glad he's in his furever home now!
Thanks for letting your mom come to my house! Did you smell me on her? She gave me hugs and tummy rubs and she recorded a message for you from me! Did you get to hear it and see me? Woo!
Luv,
Your Davy-doggie

We thank both of you for going all the length and extra miles to help doggies that needed you to make furever a wonderful one.

Hi Holly! Sorry we haven't been around to see you lately. Humans are so lazy, we just couldn't get them to help us blog and comment. We think what Summit's mom and your mom did for Thunder and Skyler is sooo great!! There is nothing more nobel than to help a pup in need. Tell them both "Great Job!!" for us. And also a happy belated birthday to Abby!! She is such a beautiful girl. We like how hard she celebrated her big day! Belly Rubs, Tasha & Eva.
Great job! We love the video. He takes the food just like I do. A perfect gentlepup.
Kisses, SKy boy
