As someone else said, Lisa for President!
Secondly, I just read through the entire thread and the issue of dog strollers came up with regards to traveling. I have taken my stroller through the airport with Kobi. You bet I got some weird looks (yep...just another thing people don't understand about my doggies  ), but the airline said it was fine. I flew Northwest, but no matter what I fly anymore, I am going to insist that they let me at the front ticket counter.
If you do take it, all you do is make sure you ALSO have a carrier and then you CHECK the stroller planeside just like skinbaby ones. IFFFFFFFFFF you get to the ticket counter and ready to go with your stroller and they say, "NO CAN DO" then just check it as another piece of luggage...just make sure you aren't at your limit. I hope I answered the questions about how this works, but if you have another one, PM me AND post it here, so that I know for sure that someone's asking one, and it gets answered publicly!
I've also thought about checking my x-pen because I can tie it up pretty well ??? so we'll see if that happens or not, but it was just a thought.
OHHHHHHHHHHH, I absolutely cannot wait for this!!! Kobi, Kiwi, and Me are going to be so ready to meet you all BTW, Who said party??? I just turned 21 this year, so I am READY TO PAR-TAY! lol |
Teri! I'm so excited to meet you, Kobi, and Kiwi, so YAY! I should've PMed you this thread to make sure you saw it since I knew you wanted to come. I could go through and PM everyone who originally responded to the other thread that they wanted to go or were a "probably", but I hate to bug people with PMs since I don't know who has maybe already seen it on their own.
Thank you so much for the info about the stroller! Did it get banged up or dirty by checking it planeside? I'd like to go that route, but I'm afraid it will get tossed around, and given that it's one of the pink Pet Gear ones, it wouldn't take much to get dirty and permanently marked up. At least if I checked it underneath I could put it in a large bag or something to protect it a little.
It sounds like you will have a lot to fly out (and I recall this being a big trip for you with meeting some new family too
), so don't worry about your x-pen. I'm hoping we have plenty from the people who are driving and able to bring one (or more), but I wouldn't expect anyone to fly one out! If we're really strapped, I can let you know closer to the trip, but so far we'll be ok with the people who have said they'll be able to bring 1+. As long as we have enough people driving who can add to that, I think we'll be ok. Thanks for the offer!
