It's a good thing my kids weren't with me or my daughter would have told her teacher of some "new words" that describe how I feel about American Airlines right now!! I understand they are *concerned* for the pups well-being, but they sent me home because of a TWO DEGREE difference in tempertature that otherwise would have allowed her to go, and neither Dena nor myself were ever told about this temperature law (we are novices, live and learn!).  I told them I brough her a turtleneck sweater but they wouldn't give in, I even offered the girl extra money not to tell anyone  

)   Oh darn #$&*^ airlines!!!!  Argh!! I am soooooooo  disappointed, but I think we are working on getting her a flight tomorrow that will be a bit longer of a transit for her, but there are less stipulations and loopholes, and apparently a much better airline for pet travel (Continental).  Poor Gracie, I had her all tuckered out and ready for a relaxing flight home, oh well, lets keep our fingers crossed it all goes well tomorrow.
