LESLIE ~ Please NOTE >>>

Here's the AA CARGO photo of a flight kennel ready to go >>>

NOTE: The 4 WHITE Plastic Tie-Wraps that loop through the door
and then through a HOLE in the lip of the doorway.

YOU (or Hubby) NEED to Drill those four holes to accept the Tie-Wraps that
the Airline will use to "seal" his door - so it can't come open in transit.

The holes should be about the same size (1/8 - 1/4") and located near the holes
for the door latching pins.

Don't sweat the Tie-Wraps - the Ticket Agents are supposed to have them.

PS:

What TEMPERATURE is Woody "certified" for?
We still need to worry about it being too cold to allow him to fly!

Spread your Wings, Woody!

Oh my gosh!!! I can't believe it's so close!!! I'm going to have one heck of a time concentrating at work tomorrow, lol! Thank goodness it's only an inservice program, so I can zone out on what the principals and whoever else is speaking

I think Woody is going to miss playing with those big doggers of yours! He'll just have to chase around the cats here, lol!

About those plastic tie thingamajigies... I don't know if Ally's crate had them on or not. I know her food and water bowls were attached with them as well as their regular clips.

Wow! He'll be home by this time tomorrow night!!

Well, AA CARGO *wants* to use those Plastic Ties -
so the 4 little HOLES have to be there in the 4 corners.

That photo is from the AA CARGO How-To Ship an Animal site ... THEIR Idea - not mine.
It's easier to drill the holes NOW than to wait till they're at the airport to be told they're needed.
Hard to find a drill in an airport concorse!

And speaking of UN-answered questions ...
HOW LOW a Temp is Woody certified for?

That's so exciting. I can't wait to see Woody with his new mom!

I hope that Woody has a safe flight tomorrow and that everything goes smoothly.

He sure is a cutie pie.

**Pawsitive Thinking** · 01-18-2008, 05:13 AM

This is so exciting

(My only comment on the "nasty bit" is that its up to me and nobody else who or what I donate my money to and I am delighted to be able to part of this)

Good luck little Woody - really looking forward to seeing you in your new home

I'd been trying to brainstorm to figure a way to open 4 little holes, as we don't have a drill. I tried a wine bottle cork opener....nope.....then I remembered we had a sodder iron. I gave it a whirl and that thing went clear threw the crate and made 4 perfect little holes.....NEAT!!!! Improv.!!!!

The Wichita Falls airport provides the Live Animal stickers! Yay! I was stressing about that, as I've called every single pet supply store in the area and not one sells them.

**pitc9** · 01-18-2008, 10:07 AM

Yeahhhhh!!! :d

OK I just HAD to post these photos. Quinn gives Woody's kennel 2 baby thumbs up. She said it's nice and soft and she likes the toys that her mommy put in there. She even tasted Woody's collar and said it tastes absolutely delicious.
