Babs was CRAZY when she shipped the pups!
We use to ship to Japan... years ago before new laws and such .... never gave it a thought....
LOL now? I would be a nervous wreck.

I would say that I was impressed with American Airlines

I have shipped on American and United and was happy with both of them. I tracked those planes all the way across country, I was a wreck. Rita's flight got delayed in San Francisco for a few hours...I was ready to go and get her and bring her back. She was such a crate monster that I was really worried about her. I put a calming collar on her and thankfully it actually worked and she shipped ok, but it is really stressful.

So was it all the paperwork that made it a pain to ship the goat via american airlines? I have picked up two pups that were shipped through airlines but have not tried, and I think would rather not try, to ship myself.

It wasn't really that bad at all
It seemed intimidating but AA was very helpful
Today was Mothers Day and the place was deserted
I walk in and say is this where I need to go to ship a live animal
The guy said yes
You must be the guy with the goat
The guy who loaded him on the plane came over 45 minutes early and got a call when the plane landed that he was getting on
And came back and told me he was on the plane k
