Oh what a wonderful topic. Such a nice diversion from all the airline talk.
I have a 98% poodle named Pookie. She is 12 years old and I have had her since she was about 8 weeks. I also have 2 cats a Turkish Angora named Binky..and a British Shorthair named Trevor.
None of my babies have ever flown...if Pookie has to go somewhere with me..I drive. She is just a bit too big to go under the seat and I am afraid to put her underneath. Especially at her age since she has never done it before.
I don't think I would take my cats on a flight. I just know they would fuss the whole way and then there would be a new topic in "the Buzz" about the screaming cats.
