Greta

Greta is a dog.
Specifically, she is the dog that joined our family about three years ago.
The Oregon Humane Society, truly a great bunch of folks, had taken her in
from a couple that were unable to take care of her for health reasons.
After much time searching for just the right new friend to bring home,
I recieved a call from my wife.

"You have to come down here right now" I recognized the tone of voice.
This was close to the one that she used to say "yes", when I proposed.
I left work and drove as fast as I could to the Humane Society, where
my wife was anxiously waiting outside.

Indeed, this was the dog-shaggy, big floppy ears, sad eyes. She was
was coming home with us, all three of us knew it.

Greta is a good dog. Although very timid at first, she has become the
protector of our household, and the companion of our small family.
That is why I'm so excited that today is the day of her arrival.

The process of bringing your dog to Hawaii is more than a little bit
expensive, and fairly complicated and stressful. Assuming that
all goes well at quarantine, she should be to her new home around
8:30pm island time(I like saying island time)

I'll be sure to go into further detail about the doggy move thing,
but would like to say thanks do much to Vanessa at OATS pet travel,
for making this as painless, as it could be. Although, it's kind of
like thanking the dentist for waiting that minute after the
numby injection, before he starts drilling.
