Question: Hi, We would be in WA soon and headed to OH. Could you meet in OH somewhere for delivery? Thanks! (3/16/2009)
Response: Where in Ohio? And what is your time frame and price and travel details? (3/16/2009)
Response: Hi, We are headed to Medina, OH. We can meet you anywhere along the way. We would pick up sometime late this coming weekend and delivery would be within 4 days after pick up. We would stop for potty breaks and etc. My driver is animal lover. Your dog would be in great hands. We would keep you updated daily through the whole transport. We could do it for your target price $500.00. Are you interested? Do you want us to place our bid? Thanks again! (3/16/2009)
Response: I will have to find out where Medina Oh is and get back to you. Thanks for your response. (3/16/2009)
Response: Not a problem. But we can meet you anywhere along the way. It does not have to be in OH. Let me know what you think. We did place our bid for you. Thanks again! (3/16/2009)
Response: Ok, I found Medina and it is too far north in Ohio from me, I am sorry. I can drive to Cincinnati or Indianapolis to meet you. But that is the closest I can get. (3/16/2009)
Response: Hi, Well we can meet you in Indanapolis but we would have to charge an extra $75.00. If that works for you, you can accept and we can get you booked in. After you accept you will get an e-mail with all our company info. If any other questions let us know. Thanks! (3/16/2009)
Response: Hi Tuffman, In looking at your information I don't see where you have shipped dogs before, that makes me nervous as Casey is an older dog and needs care, he can't be put in the back of a moving truck for hours on end with a bunch of furniture. He needs to see people and hear people and get out every few hours to walk and potty. Thanks very much for all of your help but I will wait to see if a more experienced dog shipper responds. Peace and happy trails to you all. (3/17/2009)
Response: Hi, We have hauled dogs before. We do have some listed if you go though our feedbacks. He would ride in a large size pick up with my driver, not in a box. He would keep my driver company a long the way. Your dog would be in good hands. My driver has plenty of dogs of his own, he also has one that 16 yrs old. So he understands older dogs need more potty breaks and etc. We are still open to helping you out so let us know if you want us to re-bid. Thanks again! (3/17/2009)
Response: Can you tell me where you can pick up from? My Mom lives in Port Angeles WA, can you get him there or does she need to meet you in Seattle? She is 75 so the person dealing with her needs to be very good at communicating with her and giving her the exact place to meet at the exact time. She can take the ferry to Seattle. This is sounding better Tuffman, thanks for all of your communication with me. (3/17/2009)
Response: Seattle would work better for us. So if we could meet there, that would be great. We do have a delivery in this city and this is when we would pick up. My driver would call your mom 2 days before arriving in Seattle so they could get everything set up to meet. She will also be able to have my drivers cell numbers. We would make she we are in full contact with her and I would keep you update by e-mail daily. If you have any other questions just let us know. Did you want us to re-bid? Thanks again! (3/17/2009)
Response: Hi Tuff, Tell me the day you can pick up in Seattle and I will ask my Mother if that is a good day for her to be there. Also, what kind of insurance do you have for animals traveling with your driver? And are you licensed to transport animals? Casey has a large shipping container, I am assuming you will need him to be in that container or have it with you. What happens at night, where does Casey stay while enroute?
Thank you again, hope we can work these details out and get him here. (3/17/2009)
Response: It would probaly be on Monday but the driver would call her a head of time to confirm everything. We do not offer ins on animals, sorry. We really do not need the kennel, unless you wanted to send it. He would ride in the back seat, its set up as a bed. With windows to look out. Can also ride in the front seat too. Whichever he likes. We want him to feel safe on his ride. You can send toys, food, chain, collar, & etc. At night they will stop at hotels that accept dogs. Sometimes they would sleep in the truck. But he would be fully watched at all times. Any other questions let us know. If this works let me know and I will place our bid again. Thanks again! (3/17/2009)
Response: This sounds good but I have to talk to my Mom and ask her if Monday is ok for her to be in Seattle. We need to send the kennel with Casey, we need it here in Louisville. I will get back to you soon. But this looks like a go to me. (3/17/2009)
Response: Sounds great. I look forawrd to hearing back from you. I will place our bid again incase you decide yes. If any other questions just let us know. Thanks again and have a great evening! (3/17/2009)
Response: Hi Tuff, this is what my Mom had to say about our coorespondence on Casey's transport:
This all sounds great. Yes, Monday would be fine for me. I can get there whatever time they want me there, it would be nice if it were daylight is all I ask. If they are familiar with Seattle, they might be able to meet me near the ferry terminal or I guess I could find my way most anywhere if I had to. Seattle isn't too hard to get around in. Down by Mariners stadium would be a good meeting place too. Lots of vacant parking places there.
If Casey is going to be in the car, the back seat would be great I'll send his blanket I made to put in the car and also the blanket you sent with him to be his bed in motels. I'll send a bag of food, meds (arthritis) and bones too. Sounds like this will work fine. Also his dishes and toys. Mom
If this is good with you and you can meet her where she wants and in daylight then this is a go.
Thank you Tuff!

Response: Great! That all sounds great! That should be no problem with meeting during the daylight. My driver will call your mom and then they can get a place planed out to meet at. Any of those places that you said would work. If you are ready now you can accept and we can get you & Casey together. Thanks again! (3/17/2009)
