It's wonderfully written and really captures the atmosphere of France, in its country life and city life.

Certainly we'll be thinking of, praying for and holding Wilf close to our hearts during that Worldwide Moment. <br /><br />Wishing you the best.

French security [or is that an oxymoron on French airlines?] obviously knew the dog was there. Or don't they x-ray all your carry-on items there? Anyhow, there is an airline in the U.S. that is devoted to pet passengers, mostly dogs & cats. The human companions can't fly with them, but the animals fly in comfort & safety in pressurized cabins WITH continuous service, and there is playcare at either end so their human companions can schedule a people flight and join up at the airport. Much safer for the animals than being shipped in cargo on a regular airline or crammed into a small bag and shoved under a seat. Not that expensive, either.<br /><br />Jed & AbbyJed and Abby in MerryLandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00782709825274199133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1554264610305778874.post-30110325269948978862010-11-06T01:29:05.438+01:002010-11-06T01:29:05.438+01:00I couldn't even begin to imagine how my two do...I couldn't even begin to imagine how my two dogs would react.

And that he keeps his appetite is answered prayers. He looks handsome and fit.<br /><br />I used to fly LAX/JFK with my cat, Arthur. My usual flight crew got to know and welcome him, but never did I get to take him out of his travel bag. Occasional, we'd get a really ugly crew who would refuse to let me hold his case on my lap even though the other seat was empty. Arthur was an excellent traveler, quiet and calm. He had probably logged more in flight miles than many of the other passengers.Karihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01172029625828982319noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1554264610305778874.post-14075340023949796042010-11-05T14:24:19.175+01:002010-11-05T14:24:19.175+01:00Ah, since both of us are half a rump too big to fi...Ah, since both of us are half a rump too big to fit into an under-the-seat sherpa bag -- and even if we could, we'd probably bark our heads off at the slightest unsettling noise -- the chances of our ever going anywhere by plane are ZERO. And since our mom is an old meany when it comes to most people food, the chances of our ever hacving spaghetti bolognese are ZERO too.<br /><br />We are very very happy though that Wilf is getting to enjoy these delicious foods and are even happier that he is defying the original prognosis and continuig to enjoy life.<br /><br />Mom gasped when she saw the photo of the Palais Garnier.

She caterwauled for the entire trip, except when I sneaked her out of her bag and onto my lap, with a blanket hiding her. I thought that the first class passengers were going to kill me for most of the flight!<br /><br />Wilf's embracing of life post-prognosis has been the definition of "defiant". I admire the little guy and hope that he keeps defying the odds!<br /><br />BTW, we don't have any partridge or quail. We do have lots of grouse, who I suspect eat those berries.KBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16885661679762446456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1554264610305778874.post-12658269532934115002010-11-05T12:52:52.957+01:002010-11-05T12:52:52.957+01:00Hmmm, we rather think 2 Airedales and a Welsh Terr...Hmmm, we rather think 2 Airedales and a Welsh Terrier on an aeroplane would cause mayhem.
