**PapSett** - [Chance](http://www.esrescue.org/MAChance.html) is now ready for his new home. This is the dog that was transported the same weekend as Aimee.

Awwww, Chance is gorgeous! Hope he gets his forever home soon!

I have to share this most recent picture of Aimee, napping with her foster dad! I think it’s adorable!

Today I met one of the gals from Above & Beyond who lives right here in Evansville, we took our dogs for a walk together. If we can fill all legs, I am supposed to be driving a leg of a transport this coming Saturday for a girl named Nina.

What I’ve always _hoped_ would happen!

My Doper buds taking a very active part in helping the 4 footed ones!

Awesome, just awesome, and it makes me love being a Doper even more!

Thanks!

**purplehorseshoe** - **PapSett** and I have never met in person. My sister is moving to Indiana, though. Maybe we’ll meet sometime if I visit my sister.

St G that is very very cool!! Crystal, the dog you’ll be driving, is coming here to Evansville to my friend Gary… Who I bought my first Gordon from 30 years ago! Small world, huh?

What part of Indiana is your sister moving to? I would actually like to come down to meet when Nakota has her wee foalie!

Whak kinda pie do you want?? 🙂

**PapSett** - I’m picking up two dogs, but they aren’t both going all the way. My sister is moving to a tiny town southeast of Indianapolis called St. Paul.

I like chocolate chess pie.

I think plans have changed for one of the dogs, Nina… the one I was going to be driving to Louisville. Her current foster decided to keep her. 🙂 So as far as I know, you’ll just have Crystal, unless something changed.

Indy is about 3 and a half hours north of me, so you’ll likely be coming right thru Evansville when you go to visit her! Very cool!!

Never heard of chocolate chess pie, but it sounds yummy… I’ll see what I can do!

**PapSett** - I may have to bow out for Saturday. Driving into work this morning the “Check Engine” light came on in my car (after putting $800 for new ball joints, a tie rod and tires last week). It scares me to get on the road with a car that might break down. I’m taking it in at lunch to AutoZone. I think they have a machine that can read the codes to see what’s wrong.

Another plea for help!! We only have ONE LEG to fill for a mama and 6 brand new babies pulled from a high kill shelter, they are heading to their foster home where the babies will grow for 8 weeks and then all will be adopted out. Info:  
We have a female english setter that is hitching a ride on this run. She  
found herself as a stray extremely pregnant in a shelter. She gave birth on 3/20  
in the shelter to 6 puppies. Everyone will be riding in a crate, once we  
have the dimensions we will update the run. She is in a vets office boarding.

It is for March 24, the leg is as follows:

Leg #6 - NEEDED  
Indianapolis, IN - Marion, IN  
65 miles - 1 hr  
6:00 pm - 7:00 pm  
Can anyone around Indy spare a couple hours to get this little family to a safe place?

Contact Jane at: Jane ~ aboveandbeyondtransports@ fastmail.fm - (remove  
spaces)

Her name is Gidget… this was right before th birth:

After:

And… the babies!

Please… anyone in the Indianapolis area, consider helping Gidget and her Gadgets get to safety!!
