I would never have felt comfortable with shipping Livi's babies without an escort...which thankfully, I was blessed to have Jodie help with 2 of my babies. However, I did have 2 of my own puppies flown to me (no escort). I worried and stressed like you wouldn't believe!! One came to me from California and one from LA. I adore those furkids and so I am not sorry that I had them flown....I CANNOT imagine my life without them!! Was it a fun experience for them, probably not, but that was one brief moment in their long lives with a family that cherishes them.
Side-Note: Livi was happily wagging her tail when she arrived at the airport and immediately started playing when we got her out of the kennel. Our sweet Izzy was a bit more reserved, but quickly got past it once I held her. |
