Part 2 of Daffy's Journey
(if you haven't read Part 1, please scroll to prior post)
Ingrid's service was on February 24th in Great Bend, KS
Paige (@BlessedBeagle) was able to attend since she drove from CO to KS on Sunday.
Also three other twitter friends of Ingrid's were coming from out of town and out of state too!
The moms of @VincentRocket, @RemydogIG and @FrankieTheIG (Lori, Stacy, and Heather) were all in attendance
The anipal community is so thankful that these 4 lovely ladies could attend. They brought with them the love of us all for Ingrid.
Thank you.

So after 1538 miles over 3 days across 6 states Daffy's journey is complete.
She will start her new life here with us, though she keeps Ingrid in her heart always. As we all do.
We can't thank the members of our transport team enough! You made what would have been a long trip for us much more manageable. Thank you Phi for getting this going!
@SmartScaryKitty made a Storify of the #4Legs4Daffy tweets. And I hear we even trended on Twitter!! You can read it here
A special thanks to #TheAviators who did fly-overs to ensure safe travels for us all, and helped spread the word of Daffy's journey. And to the #BBOT and the #PA who rode along.
Thank you to everyone who supported the transport team these last few days. You have been great!
Ingrid can rest easy with a smile on her face and joy in her heart for sure.
Thank you
This sad story certainly has a happy ending for Daffy. I will look forward to further stories about your life with Daffy. She is one luky little dog. Hug hug hug
ReplyDeleteLeaky eyes here again. What started out to be a sad story, has ended with a bitter sweet happy ending. We all wish Ingrid was still with us, but since she was needed in heaven, we are extremely happy that you have taken her in and given her a home. We're also extremely grateful for all the transporters - driving long distances in winter weather just to get Daffy to her new mom and dad. You people are all Daffy's human angels, while Ingrid will be her guardian angel now. We are so bless to call all of you friends.

ReplyDeleteIngrid was wise to have a plan for Daffy, and blessed to have Dana and Jim agree to be Daffy's new Mom & Dad. The sadness of losing Ingrid will linger forever, but there is a bittersweet joy in knowing Daffy has the furever home that Ingrid wanted. The drivers were so selfless in being part of the team to get Daffy to her new home.
