Getting an FT'er to do it would be great, but the problem is that the dog is too big to go under a seat. If she flies, she will have to be in the cargo hold regardless of if she's being escorted.

As far as the Fedex question goes, I recall that Willie the orca from "Free Willie" was shipped from Mexico City to Oregon by either Fedex or UPS (I forget which). Sure, that's a special situation on a specially fitted plane, but I figured if they can Fedex/UPS a whale, maybe handling a dog would be an option.

Turns out, they don't fedex dogs, but you can fedex zoo animals. She sort of looks like a monkey, but I don't think they would believe me.

Alaska will do it for about $134 - My preference is to kennel her until we do our final drive up together over Tgiving. Waiting on Rocketboy to make some decisions....
