Tired and weary…going on 24 hours without sleep…I mustered up the energy to make this photo happen as I made my way to the next gate to continue my travels to Florida.
Detroit was a very cool airport and I was glad I was able to take it all in despite no sleep! I will have more pictures to follow from my layover in Detroit.

Hawk and I took advantage of the nice weather yesterday and got some updated photos of him done. He has been growing like a weed and eating like there is no tomorrow. He even checks his food bowl every hour just in case he may have missed a morsel of food!
Hawk has also discovered squirrels and loves to stalk them. He has yet to catch one, but has come close. After he cleared the yard of squirrels, he settled down and let me take some pictures. We only ran into one problem and that was when a squirrel was crawling through the tree above Hawk but in doing so, Hawk showed just how big his ears are.

Meet Hawkeye. He has found his forever home.
I found Hawkeye on petfinder.com through K9 Kindness Rescue, INC. out of Davenport, IA. I filled out an application for him and was contacted by his foster household shortly thereafter. His story is that he was found wandering around a tire store in Georgia with his brother. A good samaritan took them in and got them all cleaned up and checked over by the vet. Debra Frakes who runs K9 Kindness said she would take them but needed a way to get them from Georgia to Illinois. That is where Pilots N Paws (http://pilotsnpaws.org/) came into play. They are a group of pilots who fly rescues around the United States saving them from being euthanized. A pilot flew from Joliet, IL to Georgia to get Hawkeye and his brother. When the pilot got to Illinois, he could not fly to Davenport because visibility was zero. So the pilot decided to drive Hawkeye and his brother to Davenport so they could get to K9 Kindness.
You have to check out their Pilots N Paws website. They are just one of those organizations that are just plain awesome. They also have a photo gallery. I keep looking through to see if I can find some pictures of Hawkeye and his travels to Illinois.
Speaking of plain ol’ awesome organizations…K9 Kindness was amazing to work with. Debra is truly passionate about adopting animals and makes 110% percent sure the dogs are being adopted into a good home. Thank you Debra.
Hawkeye arrived at my house on Sunday, the 5th of July. He is very affectionate and always watching me to see what is going on. If I am in one room and move to another, he is right there following along. Diesel and Hawkeye get along very well and have spent countless hours chasing each other in the backyard.
Expect many more pictures to come of Hawkeye and Diesel.
