I'm glad they got home safely...thanks for letting us know. I've already told this part to Betsy, well, sort of...I had forwarded her post of earlier today to a bunch of friends, including one whose husband is a long distance trucker...and (here's the part Betsy doesn't know yet)...her trucker husband had called the Staties and given them Christi's name and cell number... he told them "there are really valuable dogs in the car and they can't be sitting there all night"....ha ha...apparently whoever the cop was he spoke to was a dog person... anyway....the message came thru this afternoon that they'd got to the highway and cleared it...and the Statie told my friend's husband "that lady Christi with the German Shepherd and the other dog is on her way.............." Now, how he identified her, I'll never know...but I swear...that was the message! LOL! It will be interesting to hear from Christi whether she spoke to, or even noticed, a State Police guy watching her........
