Yep....I think you're right about the treatment....and I like your suggestion that it has the same number of stops that I do....in this case....none. We fly direct out of the Bay area..... I don't relish the idea of "handling" my dog with large kennel for check-in AND the large box/boxes containing computer stuff...AND luggage....... omg..... Sounds like I just talked myself out of it!! I'll be doing this alone..... phew!
