PFC Alexander Varela
Another Update: DJ is with her new friend Pat, and is in very good hands until she goes on the next leg of her trip home. More tomorrow, with pics.

UPDATE: Blackfive has updated the post on DJ and her soldiers here.
[Editor Note: While a bit lengthy, the entire tale of Operation Puppy Love is published with no Jump. These men and the efforts of Blake, Tom, and others need to be told. Feel free to forward, print, post, publish - Blackfive]
Laughing Wolf is on his way home with DJ.

Thanks to everyone who helped make this possible!!
Okay, have to go wipe my eyes again.

Amazing is an understatement. Wait until the puppy get home. A piece of Alex’s heart will be with Rinda always and now she has something tangible to wrap her arms around. The tears will be flowing come the day the puppy will get here. We all cannot wait!! :0)
Welcome home DJ!!!

Kelli ~ that is one special puppy! What a sweetie! I was tempted to also escort her to CA! I’m so, so glad that it all worked out and she is on the way to Alex’s Mom. God bless you all!
