I wish I could say I had Boo right now, but I don't. I won't have him for another five hours. But at least I'll have him eventually.

It's 5.41pm and I've just woken up.

In the past 72 hours, I have had 10 hours of sleep. I only slept today because Sam insisted and my body was really too tired to resist even though my brain was still wired.

We fell asleep at eight this morning after being on the phone with every airline and every person involved.

The whole thing is a HUGE mess and it turns out the problem does not lie entirely with the pet mover, Tony. He was FURIOUS when he heard about this and is seeking action as well. The main problem seems to be that Qantas Airline booked the flight with American Airlines for Boo to go from LA to Minneapolis. Only, the flight they told Tony wouldn't work because of customs regulations on the amount of hours needed to inspect the animal and the amount of time required to clean the animal's cages, etc.

So, Qantas had to arrange another flight with AA, only Qantas did not inform us or the pet moving agency about the change of itinerary.

Boo was with us on our international flight, in a special cargo area for pets. However, Qantas can only transfer pets to its partner airlines, which American Airlines is. We flew Northwest and they do not allow pets, and even if they did, they would not accept a pet from a non-partner airline.

Does this make any sense?

So, Boo had to travel on a different plane once we were in America. Sam and I knew that. What we didn't know was that Boo's journey would take two and half days.

There are no other flights with AA to Minneapolis other than the one Boo will be on tonight. Qantas booked him in to a cattery last night, which was good to hear. At least he did not spend the whole night in a cargo hold area. I called the cattery and spoke to the manager. He said Boo was doing great and that he was an extremely friendly cat.

So, hopefully, he isn't too traumatised. Though I know that this whole thing must be so incredibly confusing and horrible for him.

I miss my baby so much and I hope he doesn't hate me for all of this.

I'll keep you guys in the know as soon as I can. Thank you for all of your support, you all know what I'm going through.
