it is all happening now. dog is booked in as excess baggage with air canada. been reassured that he will be looked after well n the cargo hold. no cocktails though. went for a kennel that is slightly too big still ( but not ridiculously so ) so he will be more than comfortable. and all that for £109! bargain.

Both humans and dogs manage to survive most nights without peeing themselves.

Hope everything goes well. What type of dog do you have?

Not premium ones anyway.

The BMW picture above, btw, looks like what would happen to Charlie were the poster driving with him in the car.
So as well as being squashed he would turn into a beagle?? Poor Charlie.

Only young and abstemious ones.

It's not something you'd want to bet on though, is it? Random dog and random human in exciting and difference circumstances, oh no, that's not safe at all.

Having just been shaved, he's turned into something. What I'm not sure, beagle, perhaps.

Yes, fill a plane with humans and chances are there'll be plenty you'd not want to spend a flight with. Sedate everyone, it's the only way.

I don't like flying with humans, especially those who have stomachs that ooze out of their seat and engulf my arms, but they're people so it's unavoidable. Putting loose animals, especially snakes, but also dogs, cats, donkeys, chickens and gnus in a plane cabin is avoidable and invites fouling and or injury.

the worst fouling I ever encountered was a baby on an air india flight. People wanted to have the plane not take off and be let off the plane, it was such a foul smell.

A possibility with human babies, even with human adults. A probability with livestock.

Humans are also less given to humping on aeroplanes. I find proximity to humping with which I am uninvolved and which I have not chosen to watch disturbing and a cause of instability to my tray.
