Made It

Ol' Nigel made it just fine. DS2 received calls from the pet hotels in both San Francisco and Osaka, advising him that they had loaded Nigel on the plane and he was on the way to the next point in the trip. It's already Wednesday night in Okinawa, and DS skyped me at about 11:30pm his time, 10:30 our time, to let me know We Have Our Dog. 

DGS1, who is 8, was having a hard time settling down to bed. DS comforted him, Nigel will still be here tomorrow when you wake up. 

Thank you to all the well-wishers. Next time we skype I will snap a video still of him for you to see.
