We received Rio two weeks ago tomorrow. He flew from SeaTac to Anchorage International Via Alaska Airlines. Our nephew took care of everything on the shipping end while Alaska Airlines took great care of him. He was very glad to be out of the crate only to experience another 40+ mile journey to Wasilla. Rio obviously missed his siblings; however, started to settle in to life with with folks over 70 very readily. He is having issues with the occasional land shark attitude - part teething and part socialization - which will work out.

Having just learned of this forum, I am still perusing all that is available here. The experience of others will, undoubtedly, make this easier for us and our Rio than our earlier experiences with old friends who are seriously missed.

Rio met his first moose as we were going out for his early morning visit to the john, actually three being in the form of a cow and two calves. We didn't get good photos, then again, winter is just starting so there will be more. He didn't panic nor was he too anxious to get acquainted either. He'll get his second round of vaccinations today so it won't be long before he can make some K9 friends.
