Travel Time
I just got back from vacation, and as much fun as it was it was super hard to be away from Luke. I think I struck up a conversation with every Border Collie and Sheltie owner in the Pacific Northwest! I’ve been thinking how much Luke would have loved this trip and how dog-friendly most of this trip really was. It really is just a shame that there just isn’t a way of getting normal-sized dogs places without driving them or subjecting them to torturous cargo area rides on planes that would scar them for life! (Especially Luke, who is already dealing with whatever damage he sustained from his puppyhood!) So, I thought, thought I, why don’t certain airlines have special dog areas? I think they could remove two to four of the middle seats (which no one really wants to sit in anyway, right?) and fashion the space for a dog to occupy. That way, people could pay a puppy fare of some kind and walk their (less than 50-60 lb?) dogs onto the plane and then be able to have a nice vacation with their beloved pet that doesn’t waste the entire time just getting where they are going. Eh? Eh? The airlines could make a little extra money selling Evian and dog biscuit travel packs for the pooches!?!
After the flight home, however, I think I will exclude Delta from the bidding on my idea. Long story, different blog!
