I (like smiles) flew Roxie from Virginia to Florida in an extra-small sherpa. She was very, very good; as soon as she gets in her sherpa she falls right to sleep. I had a 2 hour layover in Atlanta which I was worried about because she was only 3 months old at the time. I took a puppy pad with me and put it down in a bathroom stall. Roxie peed fine and went right back in her bag (don't let anyone see you do it! I don't think you're allowed to have them out in the airport besides going through security...) The cool thing about the sherpa is that it has the front opening so if your baby needs touch you can open it a little and slide your foot in so it feels your warmth. Roxie was just fine under the seat, when I pulled the bag out everyone was shocked that there was even a dog on the flight! Roxie absolutely loves her sherpa, and occasionally when I leave it out I find her sleeping in it... The only trouble she has is if it's being carried and she can't feel me, like if I put it in a shopping cart she'll cry. But as long as I carry it and she can feel me against her she's fine. She won't play with toys or anything while she's in it though.
Also, I made sure to keep her shot records in a side pocket, just in case. |
