Travel pooch


At 7lbs, Gemma fits under the seat in airplanes for easy transport back to Anchorage. The soft carry-on case will work until she hits 20lbs or so - or becomes noisy in the cabin. This time I had a pocket full of treats to slip her more or less continually through the top of the case to reduce the trauma of the experience. G got out in the Salt Lake airport to stretch her legs, do some playing, and have a sip of water.  
Scared to death now that I had sole responsibility to take care of my puppy, I had a whole stash of toys to use in succession to cut off any whining at the pass when she figured out that she wasn't going home to mom and siblings again. The crinkle ring and cow hoof took care of it.Now the carrier is Gemma's car carrier, a great place to keep a squiggly puppy contained instead of squirming under the brake pedal, or to fall asleep while running endless errands.
