...I was just told by Zoe that the closest airport ( big airport) to this year's National is St. Louis......well the last time it was in St. Louis I bought a puppy at the National, took it to the vet for a health cert. bought a crate...booked her on a flight confirmed by American airlines....got to the airport to fly back to CA....and the mother &^%$* told me that she was being bumped...and would not be able to fly out that day...I had just called the day before to confirm again....I'm still pissed!...Thurban Warrick saved me, drove the puppy to Vegas and shipped her to me a few weeks later....as luck would have it, she was returned to her owners 18 months later by air and American Airlines put me through hell again....I was really surprised that I did not go to jail that day!....almost every time I fly a dog there is drama...once I was in Utah trying to fly puppies and the A-hole questioned my health cert... Connie Malo ( a list member, was with me that day)...thank God the Vet was open on that Sat. The A-hole called the Vet and the Vet verified the health cert.....how many of you have been questioned about a health cert.?...yes I know I'm blessed and should not have let any of these things get to me, but they do, so that's why on most Sundays I go to church...it keeps me out of jail...lol...FB ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2011.
