Yesterday, I finally flew home to Northern California with my new puppy - Ethel Merman … It took all day, and a couple of planes, but she’s no worse for wear… a real trooper 
Had a great time, met all kinds of really nice people at the Toronto and O’Hare airports, and decided from now on when I fly I’ll always bring an 8 week old puppy…
or not…
Now the tough part… raising her!
Flying with pets is definitely a different experience. I recently brought a friend’s cat back down to Florida from NYC when I went to visit with her as she could no longer keep him.
I’m not generally a very social, outgoing person but I had every single person in Newark and Atlanta Airports stop to talk to me. When I had to duck in and use the restroom between flights I got sent to the head of the line and shooed into the larger stall with the baby change area. As I walked down the concourse to my gate, I left in my wake a chorus of people cooing “awwww”. It was quite a surreal experience.
Kitty did well on the flights too, and I’m glad I could carry him on.
Awww…Miss Merman is a cutie pie 
I can see how she is a people magnet! Oh, and I thought you had a very apt username for a 3000 mile trip with a new pup
Precious angel! This board needs more puppy pictures.
Best wishes for many happy years together for you and Ethel Merman!
