For those who remember the thread posted by VAbusa "Foster Mom to a breed I never thought I'd help", she took in a dog who was saved from a very bad situation. After talking with her I decided that I could give Luke the home that he deserved.
IMXCITD (Bill) had posted a thread saying that he had just bought a bike from a seller in Chicagoland and needed it transported to Virginia. I saw his thread two days after deciding that I was going to get Luke. After talking with Bill, the plan was that I would rent a truck, pickup his bike from the seller in Chicago, and haul it to Virginia. From there I was leaving the bike at Michelle's when I left to go home with Luke, and Bill would pick it up a week later.
I picked up his bike Friday night and hit the road to VA early Saturday morning. Six states and 14.5 hours later we arrived at Michelle's house at 2:30 in the morning. Her being the gracious host that she is, was awake and more than welcoming. We spent about an hour talking and getting to know Luke before sleeping four hours and hitting the road to come back home. Michelle's generosity is second to none!
She gave up her bedroom to my girlfriend and I and refused to take "no" for an answer. After four hours of sleep we unloaded Bill's bike, packed up the truck, and on a belly full of cinnamon rolls we started the long trek home.
The directions took us a different route home and we ended up passing through D.C., which was our first trip there. Even though we only got to spend two hours in the city, it was still a great experience. Around 11 pm and falling asleep at the wheel twice, we decided it would be best to call it a night and get a motel room. We finally got a full nights sleep and finished up the trip home Monday morning.
Now that Luke has spent a few days at his new home, he is starting to settle in. He was a great passenger and is the kindest, sweetest, most gentle dog I've ever met. We are very happy with the new edition to the family. Not getting me this time pic police
