Kathie took an immediate liking to him--what a surprise! The puppy (name yet to be determined) does not appear to be so sure about this transition in his life.
Here he is at a rest stop along the way back. The plan was to deliver him to United Airlines Cargo in Des Moines for an immediate trip to Denver and to meet there his new owner, Travis. However, United has some silly rule about not allowing pets to be delivered to a location where the temperature is below 45 degrees, and it just happened to be 42 there today. So, Kathie had to bring him back to Iowa City for the night. She returns to Des Moines tomorrow to try again.
Although not shown in this picture, he is sporting a new Hawkeye collar. There is a new Hawkeye leash to go along with it. He must never have worn a collar before, because he frequently scratches at it, much like he is doing here.
In the car, he learned that the armrest between the two front seat passengers worked well as an attention-getter.
The upside of his not going right to Denver was that Grandma Novy has had a chance to meet the new puppy. As you can see here, she decided to try our red laser light with the puppy to see what would happen. Our dog, Josey, begs us to get out the light and allow her to chase it. Guess what? The puppy is equally fascinated!! It has been suggested to Travis that he should acquire a light too.
Evidently, the puppy is a highly cultured being. As you can see, his favorite spot at our house is near the glass artwork that we bought in Italy last year.
He really likes it!! I don't think it has ever been so clean.
Right now, he is racked out beside it--sound asleep after a new and trying day.
