Linda is waiting for us. |
 |
OK, so we had to go to a local gas station for coffee and a rest room. |
| |
|
|
|
 |
And then it was back to the task at hand. |
 |
How you like the safety harness? |

|
|
|
 |
OK Here we go. |

I use a chain now.
No more chew through. |

I'm being a good boy. |

That 40 MPH wind is working for us. We are moving, FAST. |

I'm still a good boy. |
 |
We arrived in Mobile, AL
and Don arrived at the same time. Pure luck. |

Don and his friend unloaded two pups headed for TX. |

I took Cotton for a walk and let Don and his friend take him off our hands. |

Cotton seems to be rather mellow now. |
 |
Now he is on his way to Atlanta. |
| |
