Now my daughter thinks she wants me to bring Tink with me when I go down to Texas in May for her wedding. ARGH!
First I do, then I don't, then I do.....
I have finally found several carriers that meet the airline requirements that I like.
This is the problem. They can only be 9 inches high. The airline requires that the pet be able to stand up and turn around in it. Tink is WAY more than 9 inches tall. She's more like 12 inches just to the top of her back, not counting her head. I suppose she can turn around with her head down. She weighs a little over 7 lbs. I don't think I can take her on the plane with me.
How can she be comfortable in a carrier that is only 9 inches high?!?!
I'm really worried about putting her in the cargo hold and then I have to go get her in Chicago and transfer her myself to the connection flight.
I used to fly with Indy all the time but the restriction for the airlines that I flew was 11 inches and he was allowed to get out and lay in my lap. They don't let you do that anymore. American Airlines is pretty strict about that I hear.
Anyone flown with a pet that tall in a little carrier? This is the carrier that I want to get for her.
