I’m curious if anyone does extensive traveling with their pet, particularly flying.
My girlfriend and I are probably gonna do quite a bit of traveling in Latin America and Europe starting late next year and she would like to bring along our dog.
I think him being a tiny dog will be an advantage as I believe we can bring him in the cabin when flying. Would traveling with him be only a minor inconvenience or a pain in the arse that might not be worth it?
For shorter trips, i.e. 3 months or less, we’d probably leave him with my girlfriend’s family. She lived there with the dog for most of his life so they’re already familiar with each other. However, we’re considering a 6 month stay in Argentina and then a year long stay somewhere in/near Europe, and we’d probably bring him along for those.
Ah yes, the universal happiest girl in the world hugging dog, dog making “please help me” face. I’ve got a bunch of those because my wife’s niece loves our dog and she just can’t understand that the dog doesn’t like being hugged.
This is not my dog, but last night we put money down on a dobe who’s expected to be ready to take home around March/April (he/she will be 7 weeks old.)
This is Jake the IG. Need some good thoughts today. He was protein losing enteropathy and is having an endoscope digestive biopsy today to figure out what kind. We just had to pour some cream down his throat as part of the prep.
Best and most likely case he goes on low dose steroids and a special diet. He is 11. We got him at 5 from a rescue. He was an Amish puppy mill stud dog. He had to learn how to be a dog. Wouldn’t let us pet him for the first few months. Now he taps your hand with his paw and presents his belly. Not a mean bone in his body.
Below that is his running buddy Poppy. Chihuahua mix that was found feral in Philly. We say she is 7 pounds of pure Philly attitude. She hates squirrels and that effin Weimereiner down the street.
My grandsons cats are Fruit Snack and Cupcake. They live in the boonies and their J-O-B is rodent reduction. Ruthless killers. But sit on the porch and they are all lovey dovey.
