Response: Hello again t3yb. One other thing I want to tell you. I will be traveling later today and may not have internet access. So if I do not respond quickly it is because I am on the road, but will check messages as soon as I get home. Thanks! Sharon (11/11/2007)

Response: This is great. OBE will get front seat privileges, unlimited bones (if OK) head scratches and Max TLC. We are wrapping up a big contract of boats from FL to TX and will be heading home. We will pick up after 9 for Kim and deliver door to door same day. If it is OK, I am going to let one of my associates who also has a uShip hauler account bid and handle this job. She is driving our other truck and could use some more jobs to boost her feedback. OBE will ride with Cindy and she will care for him wonderfully. Her company is Mule Team Transport and she is bidding now. Accept with confidence and know that you have the best service available. Thanks. (11/11/2007)

Response: Hello T3YB. I'm sorry but I base my decision on which transporter to use by reliable feedback with some experience hauliing animals.I can not accept mule teams offer. If you are interested in transporting OBE I am still interested in using you at this time. However, please let me know as soon as you can if you would like to do the job. Sincerely, Sharon Steelman (11/11/2007)

Response: Please reconsider and carefully check the T3YB feedback. Cindy is frequently mentioned and has lots of experience transporting pets. We are driving two trucks together on this run and the puppy will be riding with her regardless of which service provider's bid you accept. She has been working very hard and deserves the chance to earn some feedback of her own. Thank you. (11/11/2007)

Response: Hello T3YB I emailed Cindy yesterday afternoon and have not gotten a responce. This morning I accepted her bid and still have not gotten a reply. Can you please contact her to make sure we are on for tomorrow morning to pick up OBE? Thanks so much, Sharon Steelman (11/13/2007)

Response: Hi Cindy, I looked more carefully at our past communication. I understand the relationship between you and t3yb better now. I reviewed t3yb's reviews and saw the reviews on you. I am sorry for the misunderstanding. I am definately reconcidering your bid. Earlier today I sent a few questions for you to answer and wondered if you had the opportunity to answer them.Please recheck your email and when I hear back from you I hope to finalize this transport. Thanks to you and t3yb for taking the time to straighten me out. I will be watching for your return message. Sincerely, Sharon Steelman (11/11/2007)

Response: Good Morning Sharon, Vehicle I will be driving is a 2001 Dodge Ram 2500, cold A/C nice interior and exterior. Crew Cab so plenty of room for a crate. I will be alone with pupster in the truck but we are a two truck caravan heading home. I have two cell phones (different providers for max coverage) broadband internet, GPS navigation, Satellite Radio, CB, SSB, and an old 8 track somewhere. Basically every communication device invented since Apollo 11. You may call as much as you like, but our standard communication plan is 1 day out, 1 hour out, pickup. Then 1 day out, 1 hour out, delivery. We are very punctual and with pets contientious about meeting special requests from owners. We stop at least every two hours to potty and water. We have shipped numerous large dogs coast to coast, this day trip will be easy and we look forward to helping this cute little guy along on his new life. Thanks. (11/12/2007)

Response: Hello Cindy, Everything sounds good that we have discussed. Tuesday morning (tomorrow) OBE's foster mom Kim is going to sit outside the West Monroe County pound at 4am so that she will be the first person there at 7:00am when they open. If everything goes as planned she will pull OBE out of the pound that morning. There is a very slight chance and I mean very slim that someone could get in front of Kim and get OBE first. There are over 170 dogs at this pound. This county is one of the poorest in Louisiana. I doubt anyone will be there trying to get OBE first. Tuesday is the first day anyone can adopt this dog. The pound rule is, all dogs must stay 7 days before being put up for adoption. So we must wait until tomorrow. If it is ok with you I would like to accept your bid tomorrow after 10am central time (I will be in a meeting from 8 to 9:30) Just in case someone prevents Kim from getting OBE. As soon as she has OBE, she"ll call me, and then I will hit the accept bid button. Thanks! (11/12/2007)
