Phylis has already started Striker out on his adventure by getting up super early and driving him to El Paso so he is there nice and early for his 8:55am MDT flight...
Before we know it he will be eastbound and up, LOL!
He is to land in Ohare at 3:54pm CST.
So the boys are home today from school...they will do homework and then pick up all their toys really goo so the house is puppy proofed. I'm cleaning today. So around 1:30pm we will head out to Ohare....earliest to be home 6:30pm but my guess it will be later... |

I got a text that Striker is at the El Paso airport getting checked in and he is not happy about it, LOL!
I am letting my nesting instinct take over and I am cleaning to make the time go by...One bird cage done and one to go...then Blitz can get a bath and nails done, teeth brushes and ears cleaned, oh how he won't be happy about the bath, LOL! |

Yep...about a third of the way between El Paso and Houston. He'll have an hour and a half layover in Houston so the six minutes won't be an issue. You can go to www.continental.com and track his flight. Its CO1675 out of El Paso, and will be CO146 Houston to O'Hare.
Such fun you will have, Marcia and boys!!! He got a nice nap on the way down and then they wouldn't let him have any toys or his chew hoof in his crate (security thing) , so he will be WIRED when he touches down in Illinois! Poor Blitz, toenails AND a bouncing off the wall puppy....LOL! |

| Probably all that barking in the cargo area. LOL, they know they have an important package to deliver in Chicago with a very excited family waiting for the precious cargo. Hope the next leg goes quickly too. |

| I saw he arrived 4 minutes early! In about an hour he should be heading for Ohare...we almost have our stuff gathered for the 2 hour drive there...if no traffic then 1 1/2 hour...I think on the way there we could get lucky with traffic but on the way home will be rush hour so more like 3 or 4 hours to get home! Gotta love Chicago! |

| Not too much longer before he arrives in the Windy City. I have been following Strikers trip all day. Good thing my boss is on vacation. |

Yep. We probably won't hear from Marcia for awhile, about a 2 hr drive from their house to Chicago O'Hare and he lands at 3:54 so she's probably on the road...
Looks like the flight is on time and on schedule CO 146 HOU/Chicago. I know he'll be glad to have his feets on the ground again! LOL! |

| Yeah, ready to hit the ground running. Hope they have somewhere to walk him a bit before they get back on the road to go home. |

Me too...flight was delayed 27 minutes at the runway in Houston...due to weather. Now arrival is 4:21 estimated. Good thing the kids took video games to play while they wait.
She says they are prepared to feed and walk him...have stuff with them for that. So, all is well. Now we wait...LOL! |

| Kinda like watching the movie, "Jaws", isn't it? They've made up some time, so he should be down on the ground in about 3 minutes. Da-duh..Da-duh... |

Yeah, and we are all anxious that he get there soon. More suspenseful than Jaws I think.
