Same here Salamander. This happens so often with children and pets here in Arizona. It drives us crazy. We’ve got two Yorkies. Anytime we travel, they too ride in airline kennels, one of us always stays in the car with the AC going if we have to stop anywhere. When we get to where we are going, the Yorkies are the FIRST thing we take out of the car.
I knew you’d be like that...:)
So, here’s a happy ending story to ease this the misery of this thread.
