Hi there. Its been a while since we have been on the board. Gracie had a great Christmas. A mishap or tow but otherwise it went well. I actually took her with us for the holidays. We flew from Sacramento to Omaha Ne. She was small enough to fit in a travel case under the seat in front of me. It went great. She was so sleepy she slept most of the time. On the first leg of the flight the a f/a told me not to open her bag or let her out at all. Being in the business I knew this and told her not to freak. She slept the whole trip anyway. I was afraid the pressure might affect her. It did nothing. It was like riding in a car. On the second leg of the trip, the flight attendant came to me and said when we reach cruising you have got to get her out. I said ok. as we leveled off I couldnt get her out fast enough for the flight attendant. She came and got her. We stayed in the aft of the aircraft the whole flight. They blocked it off with the trash cart. It was so funny. Everyone on board lined up to play with her and pet her. she played and slept off and on. Ive alwyas tried to take her everywhere I go. She has been socialized so well. Now If you fly with your pup I cant promise you will get the attendants I had on my flight. Some are sticklers and some have been there so long they dont care. The funniest thing. Gracie has been on airplanes, in malls, in holiday packed airports, on buses, movie sets, election events. Whats the thing she is scared to death of? When you lock the doors in the car with the power lock, lol. She freaks. Just thought Id share our travel experience. Hope everyone had happy holidays :dogbark
