Possible Pet Transport Request

As most of you know, we lost our beloved main dog person, The Sam Man a while back. We are currently in our former home area of Biloxi, MS and found a really great little dog at the local Humane Society. We drove the Maserati down and it would be near imposable to transport it back in the car. I would appreciate it if you guys could help me in getting him back to the DC area. It's a short notice as we have to make arrangements in the next day or two. Thanks for any help or advice.

Kevin- rent a car one way and use your AAA or AARP for the discount. What kind of dog did you guys get? PM Dee8go I am sure he woul drive the Maseratti if you rented a car to transport the dog.

Living the high life with a Maserati:


A TRUE millionaire with a Maserati, would NOT drive his Maserati home, HIMSELF.


He would go and hire someone to drive the Maser back to DC while he and his wife flew home to DC, First Class in a jet !!!



And then he would rent a cheap car In Mississippi, and toss a credit card at a some geek or a friend, and tell him to put the dog in the rental car, and drive it back to DC.


All problems solved, by throwing money at them.




Just like my old former multmillionaire boss would sail his 75 foot yacht down the coast of sunny California, to Cabo San Lucas, in Baja, Mexico...

Wnen the vacation was over, then he would FLY home.

....and he'd hire a couple of poor geeks to sail it back to the Yacht Harbor north of the Golden Gate Bridge.


Because multimillionaires don't like the idea of sailing 1,500 miles AGAINST THE WIND.



Think *RICH* !!!! Heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
