Phred, I am very thorough when it comes to Drake's travel. His crate has addresses and contact info (both from the origin and the destination). I keep at least 5 copies of all the paperwork they need and other paperwork they may not need. I always verify that Drake is on board before I get on. I usually double check. I even paid a higher rate to get a direct flight with no connections so that losing him in route is not possible. The airlines assured me that the cargo will be the right temperature as recommnded by the veterinarian.
My father has good connections at the airport. He has arranged to have someone escort me of the plane, get me through customs with no hassle, collect Drake and waltz out of the airport. Nice, huh! Not that I would have a problem doing it on my own, but it is nice to get the VIP treatment everynow and thenSo God willing, it will be a smooth trip for us both. Plus, Drake will be sedated, so he won't even get bored on the flight!
Laurie, the reason Drake is getting shaved again is because his fur is reallygrowing back fast. The temperature in Lebanon is very hot. I was planning on shaving him again in June, but I will just do it 2 weeks sooner.
Logan, do you think I would go without him? No way! If Drake can't go, then I won't go! It's a package deal!
My parents are very excited about our arrival. My dad and Drake hit it off so well last November that my dad is looking forward to having him around. And my mom, well she is one of Drake's biggest fans! They are planning trips to a private beach so that Drake can come since he is not allowed at the resort we frequent. We will also be going to the mountains and doing alot of hiking and going on picnics. My mother even traded in her sporty Miata for an SUV so that Drake can have a comfy ride!
