flying with small dog

EXACTLY!!!! You are describing Cujo

Does yours jump really high? Mine leaps onto the stove & looks out the window.

Cujo doesn't jump high...his daughter..Ebony you can see her muzzle in the picture she likes jumping...but they all like looking out the windows.

Trade, when yours lays down does she do the sphinx pose?

Lizard, I made a reservation. She actually had a reservation number. I didn't pay for her at the time I booked because I booked my ticket through my credit card rewards program. I knew about the 5 animal limit, so I called AA and asked about availability, got the all clear, hurried and booked my ticket, then called back to AA and got her booked. I did go to the airport the day before flying and pay for her then.

Yearasta, yes but other times she gets herself into a tight coil & looks like a black doughnut. She does the Sphinx pose when she stares at me because I'm daring to do something like reading instead of paying attention to her.

🙂 The Sphinx pose... I've never called it that, but Carmen does that, too. She also does the donut and what I call the frog... back legs splayed out behind her. It's nice to see that some of you have Chihuahuas. They're a dime a dozen in Phoenix (every Mexican family has at least 4 or 5, it seems), but I figured they might not make very good island dogs. I think Carmen will do okay, since she's more camper/hiker than Paris Hilton dog!

Mine used to be a doorbell for an old man & she spent her life chained to his porch rail where she got heartworm which cost me $300.00 to get rid of. I've never had a little dog before but she's ruling the house now. All my other ones have been the typical medium-sized Coconut Retrievers. This one's more like a genip retriever.

genip retriever..................coffee spewing from my nose!!!! 😀

Genip retriever...now that's an island dog!

And she LOVES big dogs. The bigger the better. It's a riot when I take her to the vet. She's bouncing all around the Rottweilers & Pit Bulls in the waiting room. Does yours?

That's why his name is Cujo.....he SWEARS he is bigger than a St. Bernard...I don't have the heart to show him a mirror....it will prolly break his heart...

Seems the smaller they are the bigger they think they are........had a toy yorkie 4lbs on a fat day.
Took her to my moms one year for Thanksgiving............Mitzi ran in the house bit all 3 of her dogs, then jumped up on the coffee table & started barking announcing the new Queen has arrived!!!

Very true about the smaller they are...that is until it thunders...then all three of them are on the bed with us under the covers.

yup ........ and slept between my ex & me on my pillow.........she was my princess angel baby girl & she knew it

How this 10 pounder can manage to get me moved over onto the other side of a queen-sized bed by morning is beyond me. Luckily, she just wants to play with the big dogs.

I miss my lil dog!
Got a sweet sable shepherd about 60 lbs now.....whos been band from the bed 🙁

You're no fun! 😉 I don't think I've ever had a dog who had to sleep on the floor but I will say, none of my bigger dogs were such mattress hogs as this one.

Mine slips into bed when the hubby drifts off to sleep..............she really thinks the floor is beneath her!!!!
She thinks shes a lap dog & I spoil as if she is.....this makes smoke come out the hubs ears.
I train her too, shes got the foose, plotz, sitz, pocken & sook thing .......... its just more fun to play chase & keep away.
Until I tripped & sprained my left foot..............If that wasn't painful enough, my lil beast grabbed her fav coconut & was giving it a good shake...........lets loose & it crashes into my right leg just above the ankle........... I'm a complete cripple!!!!
I can walk now (it's been 5 days now)............Well I can limp, still dragging the left leg.

She was probably wanting to make you unable to walk so she could be a lap dog with you full time. 🙂

yeah thats the ticket *-)

are all the dog rules mentioned on this thread for airline travel the same for dogs?

Do you mean cats?

sorry, yes I meant cats...all these helpful hints aplly to cats too?

I think they are.
