Well my mom, me, and sunny flew from west palm beach-newark the 24th its only a little over an hour flight but i was still so proud of sunny...although we did 'drug' him as another person with there maltese on the flight was calling it, the vet said to give him half a benedrill no every traquilizer or anything just that.
Anyways we got to the airport like 2 hours before or flight and it was like 6am the airport was almost empty so i found a little corner with no one around and let sunny strech his legs before having to sit in that bag for so long but a very nice guy who worked for the airline told me that if the cop saw sunny out of his bag it would be a $500 fine, not money i have sitting around so sunny went back into his bag and took his benedryll.
Getting on the plane we saw another maltese on the same flight he was so cute although the owner did make a kinda rude comment about how my 6 month old maltese is bigger than their 6 year old one (sure hope they dont post on here oh well i will proubly never see them again). Sunny was in the medium sized sherpa bag, i proubly could have fit him in a small but i wanted him to be able to stand up and turn around just like in his kennle. It fit ok under the seat find but it was really hard to put it down or pick it up while i was sitting in the seat becuase my legs were in the way. I wish i would have bought him a ticket so i could have put his bag on up on a seat. I did at one point i did have his bag on my lap with just his head sticking out but a flight attendent told me i couldnt do that, although the person working at the check in line by the gate had told me its find just so long as the person sitting near you is ok with it and she was she loved sunny(as all people should lol) so he spent most all the trip under the seat. He was very good, i think he would have slept right through the ride even without the meds but he is a puppy and i would have felt really bad if he started barking on the flight, i mean a crying baby is bad enough but i can see people getting really mad about a barking dog
Like i said it was a short flight the driver came and picked us up from the airport they had told him we have a dog with us and after he looking around for like a min finally asked me where the dog was lol i guess they didnt mention what kind of dog becuase when i pointed the the bag sitting next to me he looked confused. I have gotten the hang of taking him outside here finally, although he keeps walking out on to the middle of the pool cover ( he is the only one who can walk out there without it breaking) and pooing there where no one can clean it up still spring lol, but in the first day he peed twice in the house here, he hasnt done that in a month at home we get here, twice in a day, cant really blame him though we are from south florida it hasa been getting into the teens at night here.
So yeah we still have the flight back but i think it will be fine i dont know if i will even 'drug' him again.
