flying with your pets?

Thanks everyone.
I managed to trick him into the Sherpa bag today - he wasn't very happy but did stay inside for 20 minutes. He did bark though when I went to check up on him and let him out. Oh well.......looks like I will have to go to the pet store tomorrow and get more treats!

Glad this was posted as we are going to have to deal with when we move and transport our Boston Terrier, Paisley, to Belize . The fact that it is an international flight just makes it all the more iffy as to whether it will all work out and be allowed. I do NOT want her flying in cargo (w/her smushed face, she's even more likely to have problems with temperature and breathing than most dogs), but she's definitely on the edge of not being able to fit into an airline approved under-seat carrier. It's only a 3-hour flight, so I am sure she'd be totally fine even if she couldn't stand in the carrier, but the regulations say she needs to be able to. She's a shorter but long Boston Terrier, 16 lbs, and we'll just have to buy a carrier and see if it would ever work. If not, I have no idea what we'll do. I envy dinabean w/her 4-lb. Yorkie!
