I am certain you are going to be very cautious .  I also think your little one, and you are going to feel so much better being together then apart. Especially, that she is your service dog.
Suzi is my service dog too! I understand completely where you are coming from, and know the need to bring my Yorkie where ever I go. It is a necessity .  |
Thank you! I have a good airline approved, well ventilated carrier that I think I will use for the short trips, but I was also looking into getting a backpack. Meg loves being in teh carrier we aready own though, and why mess with a good thing?

I heard of someone who got out of their camper in Alaska (?) with their yorkie on a leash and an hawk came a swooped it away !!! Is that possible in Wyoming???
How long is the plane ride from your home?
I hope all goes well and you have a great time !!! |
OMG!!
That is horrible. I would imagine that something like that would be possible in WY, but hopefully any birds of prey would be scared off by us being in a car, in a parking lot, or near a buillding or hotel. I will definitely keep that in mind though. Man, I am so incredibly nervous about this trip.
In answer to your question, the flights from my home (Korea) to WY will ~ 14 hours. Meg and I flew from Korea to Boston and back, and it ended up being around 19 hours (not including the 2 hrs to get to/from the airport). Ugh. Meg was a perfect traveler though. I'm hoping that the second intercontinental flight goes as smoothly as the first.
