Is this a screw up by reservations or is there no way I can make my leg to LAX dog free so I can choose an exit row seat. All that is left at the moment is E-, so I really don't want to spend my 1K qualifying flight in E-. Upgrade doesn't look good either as the flight is F0 C0 Y9 B9 M9 E9 U9 H9 Q9 V9 W9 S9 T9 K9 L9 G0 P0 A0 D0 Z0, which does look like an extremely odd load for an 0830 Saturday morning 763 flight IAD-LAX.
You can definitely make one-way in-cabin pet reservations--I have done it many times. The website is another story--it is probably confused. I would call and speak to a reservations agent, and I am sure that when you explain the situation they can put you in an exit row on your flight without your dog.

I know you can't check in online either way if there is even a one-way pet reservation in your itinerary, so I think this is just another fluke with the website.
