Annie has just been spotted, alive and well,
on the last hour. She is now dirty, and the
leash is gone, but the pink halter is still
attached with her tags.
Jim North with EARS just called me and told
me that Katy is just on overload and that
he is going to need to pull her off of this
for a while. She has been like a dog with
a bone and is about to drop.
He said they need someone to come down and
give her some relief. Someone with ability
to make decisions regarding the welfare of
this little girl. They need to give Katy
some time to rest.
He said he has never seen a dog that is so
agile and so fast. He said that if he hadn't
seen her in action for himself, he wouldn't
have believed it.
If I can get a flight down there, I'm going
to meet with the Fish and Wildlife Department
to see if Laurie could borrow their dart
gun, the one that sends a radio chip attached
to the dart.
I really think this is the only way we are
going to be able to catch her.
When I told him I would try to get a flight
he said that would be the best thing, for
me to come on down.
Now, it would be cost prohibitive for me
to purchase a ticket without a 14 day advance
purchase.
If any of you have milage available, and
can purchase a round trip ticket from Tulsa,
Oklahoma, (TUL) tomorrow, March 21, returning
on March 24 or 25th, to either Tampa (TPA)
or preferably, Sarasota, (SRQ) that would
be a Godsend for us.
This is a map of the area.
The town is Englewood, FL. which is 37 miles
south of Sarasota, Florida, about 45 minutes
and it is 87 miles out of Tampa, about 90
minutes, by car.
We need your help if you have airline milage
that can be turned into a round trip airline
ticket.
The airline we think would be the best would
be either Delta or Northwest.
This is a list of everyone who flies in there. You can see that it would take many more
hours to get their on American and I need
as much daylight as I can get.
Delta has a flight at 6:00A.M. in the morning
that arrives in Sarasota at 11: 52 A.M.
Delta Air Lines
Flight 4308 operated by Atlantic Southeast
/ Flight 960 6:00am
Tulsa, OK (TUL) 11:52am
Sarasota/Bradenton, FL (SRQ) 4hrs 52min -
1 Stop
Change planes in Atlanta, GA (ATL)
Northwest also has a flight that leaves at
6:00 and arrives in there at 1:23.
Northwest Airlines
Flight 2924 operated by Northwest Airlink
/ Flight 1602 6:00am
Tulsa, OK (TUL) 1:23pm
Sarasota/Bradenton, FL (SRQ) 6hrs 23min -
1 Stop
Change planes in Detroit, MI (DTW)
I'd like to come back as late in the day
as possible on Saturday or Sunday, to give
me more time out there on the site.
If you can help with this, please call me
on my cell phone at 1-918-638-5854.
Again, we need for you to exchange your milage for an actual
ticket. The airlines will CHARGE you an arm and
a leg to donate the milage to us and let
us purchase the ticket. It is really cost
prohibitive to do it that way. Again, this
is urgent.
Until now, the two groups that are helping
us have asked us to let them be in charge
and not to have other people coming down
there. Now, one of their volunteers is just
exhausted and they have asked me to come,
and if there is anyway that I can, I'm going
to do that. This is why we need your help.
Brant Cramer, one of our Board members, told
me this morning to remember Tennessee Tommy. From his mouth to God's ears.
In the past almost 9 years, and in around
6000 rescues, we have had 29 Bichons get
away from us. We have recovered 28 of those
dogs. Annie, you are going to be number 29,
so help me God. All My Love, Robin
