*  Cassie sat just in the sunny area of the cargo hold.  Yes I stuck my head 
out the door and screamed at the guy until he put her in the shade.  He 
apologized. I told him to make sure she wasn't hot or I was coming out there 
and he was going to get in trouble for it.  He was very kind to check her and 
said she was fine.  I had ice in her bucket so I knew she would be ok.:)

*Some snippy little (I wont say bitch because that would offend my girl;) 
flippantly told me it was all ok and I needed to get on the plane.  I politely 
explained that I would make sure the plane was held until I saw my girl 
boarded.  This was on the second leg to Canada.  I HATE switching planes!

* Same second leg to Canada - the crate tipped a litte and I about exploded.  I 
got on the plane and I was calm when I talked to the pilot who went underneath 
the plane and checked on her for me.  I figured he didn't do it and sugar is a 
little better...  I just remember hearing about a special male being dropped 
and dying and I couldn't stand to lose her.  The pilot was awesome!

*I can hear Cassie howling for me as I run through the airport:)  Everyone 
everytime I have flown with her was laughing and clapping for me getting to her 
- It was funny.  She is a good baby:)

And yes I MARK HER CRATE with EVERYTHING I can think of - even to not put her 
face to face with another dog.  Every one of the attendants I talked to (and 
that was a few;) told me they appreciated the info and talked to her a lot 
because of the info I put on her crate.  They all said she was a perfect lady.

*I sure wish I had something to show this year as it is close enough for a 
direct flight - much easier on my mind - nope nevermind.  It will be easier on 
the attendants this year<LOL>!
