email from the puppy truck driver

Caroline,

It was nice to meet you last Saturday when we picked up Roman and his pals. We had a good trip. We drove to Grand Junction on Saturday, Elko on Sunday, and back to San Rafael on Monday. We arrived on campus at about 6:45 pm. Roman is a great dog, he traveled well and was a delight to handle. Lee and I both had several opportunities to walk Roman and we were truly impressed with him. He is a handsome dog and appeared to adjust nicely when we got to campus. I've attached the photo of you two, thanks for the time and effort you put into Roman.

If there's anything Lee or I can help you with let us know,

sincerely ,
Joseph A.- Professional Puppy Truck Driver
