Rosie has started her Journey to the UK!
 
Please keep her in your thoughts as she makes her way here. She will have been traveling for just over 24 hours door to door.

I just pray she isn't too scared and they are taking good care of her.

My friend called me just after she dropped her off at Continental and told me this little story, I thought was so cute. When she took her in and the man came to get her there was a fork lift they were moving some of the crates with. My friend said to the man as he took her "You are NOT putting this baby on that thing" My friend does have a way with people. LOL So he said of course not and instead put her on the front seat of the golf cart and took her that way!

Thanks all in advance for your thoughts for her safe trip and I will update and hopefully post pics after she is home! :)

Looking forward to hearing what you think of Continental's service. I've only used British Airways World Cargo, and had a positive experience into both Manchester & Heathrow. I prefer when flying with my pet to fly Air France to France & then take the ferry across, but sometimes time doesn't allow such a long trip.

Wishing Rosie a safe trip and smooth traveling experience.

will be in my thoughts!
where is rosie off to!?

myteddybear 10-06-2011 04:10 PM
Thanks for your thoughts and prayers for a safe journey!

Kazzy, I so wish it had been an option. It is killing me having her fly cargo but we had no other choice.

Maci, We were stationed in England from Georgia with little notice and had no time to get everything done that needed to be done for her to come with without being quarantined so she had to stay behind with a friend until everything was finished and her wait period was up. We left in Feb and she is just coming home. She's had to be flown cargo as there is strictly no pets in cabin into England. I am so worried about her and just can't wait for this to be over for her and get her settled.

The first leg of her flight is done and she is on a layover in Newark at the moment and will be taking off again in an hour.

There is no way I am going to get any sleep tonight.

Thanks again for keeping her in your thoughts and prayers everyone

My mastiff puppy traveled for 12 hours w/ Continental. Nothing but awesome service all around. I would be so anxious to see my baby! She will be in my thoughts. :)

myteddybear 10-06-2011 04:15 PM
Oh Kazzy, I had heard that the pets were last on the flight and first off to minimize their stress and time in cargo while the plane sits and was pleased when I spoke to someone who flew with her pets last year on Continental and she said that she knew the pets were first off because she sat in her seat before they were allowed off the plane and watched them taking the crates out. She said they were wonderful and took very good care of them and that her only complaint was in the customs part of it where the animals took about 4 hours to clear and they would not allow her to even see them until it was finished. They were let out to run in the fenced yard behind the office and were fed and watered. But the time clearing was her only complaint.

myteddybear 10-06-2011 04:17 PM
Thank you Kaos! It makes me feel better to hear good things while I worry! :)

I believe they are the first taken off the plane. I was there as it landed and I got her within minutes. There was mechanical problems on her first flight. So they walked, watered, and fed her until she was placed on her second. Then she was hand delievered to me, in great spirits. Keep us updated. :)

Sending prayers for your babies safe travels and a wonderful reuion.

A thing few seem to know about flying into the UK. But every pet/show dog, etc., flies into the country that way, so it's a well established routine there.

I've never experienced a 4 hour delay clearing customs. Once I was off the plane, gathered my luggage and made it the animal reception centre, my dog was ready to go. On the rare occasion I only had carry-on luggage and scooted over there quickly, I've waited a half hour at most. As long as all the paperwork is correct and the microchip scans, it's a relatively quick process. Of course, the time of day & number of animals they have coming in at that time may make a difference. I prefered the overnight flight where I got in around 6:30am your time, and that was always smooth sailing :)

Can not wait to here she has landed and is safe in your arms. Prayers being sent all goes well

myteddybear 10-06-2011 04:46 PM
Hmmm, I wonder if it is a time of day thing. Rosie lands at 9:25am and I was told not even to show up until 12:30 because it would take at the very minimum 3 hours and to call ahead of time to make sure she was there. :confused: That didn't sit well with me and I guess it does happen as my husbands co worker took a 3 hour taxi ride there to get his dog when he was supposed to show up and the dog was not there. For some reason he was on a later flight.

I am just staying positive and thinking I know everything will go just fine and as planned. For the most part I have hear mostly good things.

Chodges 10-06-2011 04:56 PM
Poor Baby! Praying for safe travels for your baby! Just think how happy both of you will be soon!

Patti 10-06-2011 04:56 PM
Praying Rosie has a safe and uneventful trip.

myteddybear 10-06-2011 05:05 PM
Thank you, the thoughts and prayers are so important to me. I know I am even more nervous and upset over the whole thing in part because I am the worlds worst flyer which makes me heart sick for Rosie going through this. :rolleyes: I truly would rather swim across the ocean than get on a plane! LOL

BabyGirl Rosie 10-06-2011 06:31 PM
Sending prayers that all goes well for Rosie! I know you must be a nervous wreck! Please let us know when your baby is finally with you.

Wishing Rosie safe travels! Hope all goes well!

myteddybear 10-07-2011 12:09 PM
Thank you everyone for your thoughts and prayers, they were just what we needed! :D Aside from a small mix up at check in Rosie was handled with great care and everything went very smoothly. She did not seem traumatized or upset when I picked her up and is settling in quickly!

It did take the 4 hours we were told exactly at customs but they were very friendly and helpful and it went off without a hitch.

Our trip home was long and Rosie seemed to do fine and was happy to eat as soon as she got home..

All in all I would say Continental did a wonderful job and if forced to use cargo again I would be comfortable using them as it seems they went the extra mile to see the pets were well cared for.

Thank you again! I will post some pics of her after we are all settled in another thread! :)

It is SOOOOO good to have her home! :D

I'm glad things are going well however I can't help but ask why you didn't get a pup from the U.K therfore cutting out the worry of transporting one?

Because the dog she had shipped was her baby...early in the thread she said she had to leave her behind in the States when they were shipped to the U.K with little notice. All the hassle is worth reuinting with your child instead of simply forgetting about her and getting a new one.

margaritaville 10-07-2011 01:06 PM
Glad to see she has arrived safe and sound.

Perrella 10-07-2011 01:24 PM
Just checked back to make sure sweet Rosie arrived safely.....YAY!:thumbup:

Yep, not a new baby. ;) I did have people say to me through all of this "with all of this, it would just be easier to get a new one" Yep, it would have been but we didn't want just any one we wanted ours.

She is sound asleep, I think she's had a rough couple of days! :aimeeyork

TraciG 10-07-2011 02:19 PM
Wonderful news! I bet you are sooooo glad to be reunited! I can imagine someone will be getting a little spoiled the next few days :)

BabyGirl Rosie 10-07-2011 03:14 PM
How exciting that she is finally home with you!!! :) So glad everything went well.

KazzyK810 10-07-2011 03:20 PM
Congratulations on Rosie's safe arrival. I'm sure she's so happy to be back with her family :)

horsnaround 10-07-2011 03:21 PM
Just checking in. So glad she is home and settling in. Look forward to pictures

Patti 10-07-2011 03:48 PM
I'm so happy Rosie is back with you and made the trip safely.

Gennies 10-07-2011 04:00 PM
