Be patient. I think Olly has to do all of these requests manually so it's not an instant thing. Could take a day or more?

ok

I guess i am just so excited for all of you to see my little girl...she is so cute...she should be coming in a week...i just spoke to the breeder and it all depends to what the vet says...when she will be ready to travel.
We are so excited

By the way any advice what i should do the minute we get her off the plane...should i let her out of the crate in the airport or wait till we get outside....i am sure she will be so scared and nervouse...poor thing

Let her out of the crate outside the airport - she'll probably have to pee. (Either bring a leash/kennel lead, or a small ex-pen; airports are full of strange sights and sounds and there's always a chance she'll bolt.) I'd bring a little bit of water, a clean blanket to put in the crate (being a baby she may not have been able to hold it the whole time), and maybe some food - if it's a 20-hour drive, it's probably a fairly long flight, and she will probably have been at the airport a couple of hours before she left. Maybe a puppy bone for in the crate on the ride home, just to keep her occupied.

Crates are very inexpensive. Especially the small ones. I would strongly suggest just buying a new one. That way you don't have to worry about what illnesses the last occupant had.

crate

The crates here in Canada are not inexpensive...they are close to $200
There is nothing wrong with the one i have...i know the previous owner and the dog was not sick...i guess i was just thinking of disinfecting it to be on the safe side

$200 for a puppy crate? Are you completely sure about that?
Here in the states, even a full size metal fold down is not $200. I think you might be thinking of something else.

You expressed concern over using an older crate because of illness. Why ask the question if you just turned around and said you are NOT concerned? I guess you have completely confused now, not to mention unsettled.
