I was rehoming a King Shepherd from TX to his new home with us in IL. It was right before Christmas and couldn't make the trip myself with all the winter craziness. I enlisted the help of Nick Brownson on Uship. He was new to Uship but the person who was able to best accommodate for my situation. He took extra precautions driving up from TX because we seemed to plan this trip during the worst driving week known to man. The roads were frozen, traffic atrocious, and the weather couldn't make up its mind; all it knew was it was going to be harsh. So, Nick trudged his way through the bad weather and made it to the house a few hours late but considering the conditions he drove through I was surprised he made it before Christmas Day. Good luck, Nick, Thanks for everything. Duke had a wonderful trip. He got to ride in the cab of his truck during the driving and when he was pulled over he got to play in the empty horse trailer he was dragging back home after toting some horses home to TX. Nick took the best care of him and was wonderful about contacting me whenever they made an expected or unexpected stop. Nick took the time to explain how Duke was reacting to the trip and let me know a little more about his personality due to the fact this was a pretty much sight unseen purchase for my family. All we had to work off of was a few photos and bits and pieces of information. Nick made sure to give him lots of exercise and potty breaks. I couldn’t have hoped for better service. Hope the weather is forever on your side after this trip. You deserve it, Buddy. Thanks.
