Back Home!

The top picture is a "graduation" picture where Jack is clearly not cooperating! Oh well! The second is Keeper with his trainer, Jeremy. The third is Keeper finally home!
We made it back home after a grueling travel day (Friday). We were at the airport by 7:00am for a 9:09 scheduled flight. The flight ended up being delayed because of the weather - Snow and Ice!! After finally boarding the plane we sat on the runway for over an hour to wait to be de-iced. We finally landed in Oakland at about 2:30 pm (California time) - which was 5:30 for us.
How did Jack and Keeper do? Well overall Keeper did well. She did not like to be confined for that length of time and Rich walked her up and down the aisle a few times. Of course, she received lots of attention from passengers and crew alike. Including the pilot! She really didn't enjoy the takeoff and about hit the roof when the brakes came on for the landing. It took both Rich and I to hold her down.
Meanwhile Jack was not a happy camper. If he wasn't sleeping he was screaming. I really fell sorry for the people on that plane with us. The staff was very accommodating and helped whenever possible but Jack was clearly having a bad day and didn't understand what was going on. He kept saying "Jack bye" and pointing to the door. Explanations weren't working. He slept off and on but kept waking up when the "dings" went off.
I was never happier to be back in California. Jack was wonderful after getting off the plane. We had to make stops in Castro Valley and Walnut Creek on the way home to pick up cars and finally made it home around 5:30pm.
Keeper enjoyed running around the house and exploring. Ethan is afraid of her but that will get better.
