Penelope the Cocker Spaniel has found a new home in Ohio. Many thanks to Lisa and Mikelle in Sioux Center Iowa and Sioux Falls South Dakota respectively and Cathy, Becky and Fred (thanks for the wings) in Ohio who all worked together to recuse this nice dog. Because of weather we had two cancellations but finally managed on Jan 16, 2009 to brave 30 knot surface winds, blowing snow and a 60 knot headwind at 10,000 ft to get Penelope where she needed to go. We used flightaware (http://flightaware.com) to track the flight so we could meet the new family at the airport. We flew IFR but the site will usually track VFR with flight following. Good luck to all and safe flying
