Hooray tourism!

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

lcat, how large is your dog? Stephanie might also have some information for you. They have two dogs that they've moved from the US to Puerto Rico and back.

Our wings are not tired.
I end up driving back and forth from Florida to NY because I don't think Brandy would tolerate making the trip any other way. I was thinking about leaving my van up north so I can just fly, but I have no dog solution.

No friend who could dog sit? (I totally understand that kennels are pricey.)

As I recall, Laura and fam spend most of the summer up there, so way too long a time period for that. For a week or weekend trip it might be different.

Lucy flew probably 10 or 12 times all told. The first time by herself - I sat in the car and cried after dropping her off. But she never had an issue. Are the dogs ever in crates?
March is a good time for flying dogs, since you don't usually have cold or heat issues to manage for. Is there a direct flight? I would be concerned about having a dog make a connection.

The status is NOT quo.
Chiming in really late just to say that the Miracleborns rock for being such loving, involved parents. You are so doing the right thing, and Em will thank you for it. Truly.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
I am so going to Walgreens right now for my H1N1 vaccine.

I have loved the stars too fondly to be fearful of the night.
Re: dog move. She is about 70 lbs and some kind of collie/sheperd mix (I think). She is a rescue dog that I've had for about ten months and in that time, I've learned that she hates cars (whines when she realizes she has to get in it and throws up even on short trips) and hates kennels, which is understandable since she was in the local shelter for almost three months after having been an outside dog out in the country for the first 3-4 years of her life. She is going to have a rough trip no matter what so I'm going to talk to my vet about the possibility of medication to help her sleep through it. I had considered driving with her but it is a three day trip and I think 8 hours of traveling (to and from the airport and a four hour flight) will work better for her.

I'd definitely look at medicating her, for her safety and comfort.
