This isn't such a good picture of Ashley, but it does show that she is here with us in Mumbai (24 hours later than scheduled). Her original flight from London to Mumbai had a broken heater in the cargo area, so Ashley got bumped. I don't have any details of her extended stay in London, but I hope that she got to eat some fish n chips, have tea, drink a warm beer and see some rain.
Diego met her at the airport and escorted her through cargo and customs. She was a brave girl, not looking at all scared when she was off-loaded. Everyone in cargo was a bit shocked by this dog with blue eyes. When Diego let her out of the crate, they were also a bit surprised at how well she listened & obeyed (things like sit, stay, come here, in the car). The head of cargo teased Diego that Diego's life would be much easier if his airport staff was so obedient! :)
It's been over 4 years since Ashley didn't have a dog door to let her self outside. Living on the 7th floor is a big change for her. Babu, our kind of Guy Friday, will walk Ashley once or twice a day. Luis and I will also get her out once or twice a day. And right in front of our building is a small grassy area that is great (if not a little small) for frisbee-ing. I think (hope?)that Ashley will settle in nicely.

Yay Ashley!
Great to see her arriving in style :)
Ashley now joins the club of people who've been bumped at Heathrow.
Some things are just how they always are, regardless of traveler, no?
