I'm pretty sure the meant it was a joke.

Anyway, I used to fly with my wonderful little Yorkie in the cabin. I would never have been able to afford $250 to fly with him. Said Yorkie sadly died a little over a year ago. I have a great Schnauzer now but he's too big to go in cabin. 20 lbs. I was wondering where I could find how much it would be to fly him as cargo. I believe CO only flies pets as cargo. I don't know if I would ever chance this but was curious about the expense. My Schnauzer's grandparents keep asking me to bring him to NY from my home in LAS. I actually think they love him more than their human daughter (me). Seriously.
