EEK! What terrible stories... I am glad that Vera was found and not harmed (and probably loved every minute of the adventure!).. Some years ago, we had a bitch coming from Bermuda to be bred. She was supposed to come to the Delta freight office, but when they made the arrangements on the their end, nobody told them our freight office was closed at the time she would come in. So she arrived three hours late (nobody could explain that to us) and down the baggage carousel in the main terminal. Her crate was all cracked and the worst part about it is that it was upside down! I don't now what happened or how that happened (nobody could explain that).. The bitch was a basketcase the whole time she was with us and wanted nothing to do with a dog crate. If dogs could talk! Another time we stud-free pup coming from California on NWA. She didn't arrive on the flight she was supposed and it turned out, she never left LAX and they couldn't find her for about 4 hours... Someone had tucked her in a corner so she wouldn't get LOST! UGH.. I have more stories, but with the National coming up, one does not like to freak people out. Happy flying :-) Jess Mac Paisley Dals (www.paisleydals.com) & Those Shepherd Girls who are staying home and waiting for National Results. _________________________________________________________________ Help yourself to FREE treats served up daily at the Messenger Café.
