I have fallen in love with 2 boys from the Ill area born to Guardiantrinity's Shenanigans. They are absolutely beautiful and look like a perfect mix of mom and dad. I do need some assistance with transportation    I am willing to drive up to 3 1/2 hrs to pick them up on their last leg home. Is there anyone out there who may be able to assist me? I would so very much appreciate any assistance with this. 

I checked Ask.com's distance finder, it says it's about 700 miles. Thank you so much for the offer to drive them that far! So between she and I, we have about 6-7 hours covered, by my calculations, that may leave about 6 or 7 hrs more of travel between Chicago and Richmond. Is there anyone who could pick up that far from Guardiantrinity and in between? Again, thank you so much in your attempt to get these adorable babies to me and their future big brothers! 

Unfortunately, I live just NORTH of VA in WV on I81. I wish you all safe travels and calm ratties for the trip though!!!

Julztoni lives in CT and is interested in babies from the same litter in Ill. Perhaps someone could pick all babies up (I have 2 reserved, she has 2 I believe as well), and then maybe someone would be available from CT to VA for the times in between? Maybe this is an unrealistic goal, but we're very much interested in these babies becoming part of our families.  They will be ready the week of Aug 16 (Sat). Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Determination   I'm having fun reading all your posts trying to get these guys to us.  Good luck!

Oh, and I also meant to say that I can't do anything August 16th... I'm doing a greyhound "train" that day.  I'll be transporting 7 or so retired racing greyhounds from NC to DC.

I have no idea where Guardiantrinity's 2-3 hr drive may put her, or how far PA is from Chicago. I google distanced it, and it looks like a 571 mile trek from Harrisburg to Chicago. Is there anyone who may in between? That may cover almost all of it! I even let Guardiantrinity know that this may not work, but now it may!!!  Thank you all so so so much for this effort. Hopefully wer can find maybe 1 or 2 people in between who may be able to help! Thanks again

It may.  I'm not sure now if I can take in another though.  I just took in a double rex from someone that may be pregnant.  I have another post on her called Advice Please.  If she is pregnant,  I'm going to have my hands full   I really hope you can get your boys to you but I think I have to back out.  I really wanted Cammie though

To all those who have offered so far, Thank you so much!!!!  I would absolutely love for this to work out! I am not very familiar with routes to and from Ill. Is there anyone who could pick up where Guardiantrinity would be stopping off in Ill? (Where exactly is 2-3 hrs from you?) I now need assistance in part of Ill, all of IN and OH, until PA, then I've had some great individuals offer to pick up in parts of PA. I'm so close to getting these guys to me and their new brothers, I'm very very excited!  However, I know there is still a great deal of gap in between. I'm hoping perhaps there are some individuals who may be able to assist with this. If anyone could, it would be so very much appreciated. Thank you again to those who have offered so far, and I'm hoping to hear back soon on perhaps others who may be able to assist. I know that this will be a long trip, and I'm hoping for the least amt of stress on my little guys. If a stop off somewhere is possible to let my guys settle in for the night in between, that would be fantastic. Thanks again, this is getting so close!

I'm in Reading, PA...but on August 25th, I have to stay the night in Pittsburgh for a doctor's appointment.  I'll be leaving there on the 26th to come back to Reading which is about an hour west of Philly.  Would that be of any help?   

It might! Thanks for the offer. Hopefully if we get everything straightened out, maybe someone could meet up with you. Thanks so much! I'm so excited, and so very appreciative to all these fantastic offers made from all of you. I'm thinkin' that this may work out! Thank you all so very very much! 

Just remember that there are thousands of beautiful baby ratties in shelters, rescues, and SPCAs everywhere...and they all need good homes.

On August the 15th I'm traveling from Indianapolis, IN to NE Ohio (I think it's Canton, OH or close to that...) if that can help any.
