Mother Nature had other plans for Hound Dog One on Sunday as the mission had to be cancelled due to weather. Fog in the Greenville area was the initial culprit which delayed our departure. Once the fog started to lift, thunderstorms invaded the Hilton Head Island Airport area and the decision was made to take to the roads in Hound Dog Two.

We met Bonnie Thorpe in Columbia, SC and transferred Princess into HD2. The drive from the Columbia area to Coosawhatchie took about an hour and 45 minutes. Once we reached Coosawhatchie, Princess was transferred to her new foster mom, Carolyn Davis. As you can see by the photos, Princess is a sweet, mature lady.



Below, is the track of the car ride.

Princess -- This happy girl is 13 years old, and came from Brevard, NC. She was kept in a pen outdoors all of those 13 years. She went to animal control when her owner became sick and could no longer "care" for her. Despite having had no HW preventative her whole life, and being two years behind on vaccinations, Princess is healthy and HW negative. Also, despite having been penned all her life, she's a very friendly, lively lady. When Bonnie Thorpe took her to the vet in Seneca SC, the vet techs were trying to guess how many baths she would need to get clean -- she was extrememly filthy and smelly! This sweet gal will be going to live with her foster mom, Carolyn Davis, one of our newest fosters in SC.

Hound Dog One and her flight crew will be present at the Hilton Head Island Airport Open House from Noon to 4pm this Saturday, May 8th. This is a great opportunity for the public to come on out and see how vital the airport is to our community. Various static displays of aircraft will be on hand to view as well as free BBQ sandwiches! CBHR will have a tent set up next to the plane as well.

Hope to see you there!
