Well, it's about time we all have some good news! We just checked and found an Associated Press story stating Ratchet is on his way to Kuwait and then home to Minnesota to await Gwen Beberg's return to the US.
On Sunday, a private security firm collected Ratchet from the small base, put him into a pet carrier and transported him to the airport on Baghdad's western outskirts.
Baghdad Pups coordinator Terri Crisp then took custody and boarded him on the charter.

Now if only some rescue(s) could take the remaining dogs at Carrol Crocker's so none will be seized and killed by Rainsville. Twelve dogs were adopted yesterday. Time is crucial for the remaining 50!
Whimpurrs Whim adopted Delilah from Carrol's yesterday. She just posted some photos of Delilah in her new home.
And River the Beagle's mom doesn't have room for any more fosters at the moment, but she signed up to transport any coming her way.

Excellent news! Something positive came out of something so negative. I love it when that happens. That dog is going to have a good life. I can not imagine being off fighting a war, at least Ratchet kept her spirits high and gave her that comfort of never being alone. Excellent.
