How exciting! Toto is a "seasoned" air traveler since we have been in Colorado, we fly often. She travels in a Sherpa bag and I always tuck her favorite blankie and her tiny little lamb [favorite toy] in there with her! Last month when we flew home, Patrick was able to get away and go with us for the first time. The attendant allowed him to take her bag from under the seat and hold it on his lap and it seemed to help her feelings a bit. We can only unzip the top to give her water ... fortunately she doesn't cry but we can see her pressing her little nose against the mesh and looking at us! Hope your babies enjoy flying!
