Guest guest Posted February 2, 2003 Report Share Posted February 2, 2003 Dear Joyce and , I live in Virginia and my four little girls have been asking for a puppy for several years now. With four girls, ages 4 - 11 years old and home schooling, I didn't feel like adding a puppy (before my surgery) was a good idea. The funny thing is this -- my four year old has been asking for a poodle ever since I bought her Bridgette (the pink Beanie Baby poodle from TY). My best friend lives in Florida (Orlando) and is willing to drive to South Florida to pick up the puppy. She is scheduled to come and visit me on Feb. 19th. She would be flying from Orlando to Va. The flight is an hour and 45 minutes. We could see about taking Mr. Beau aboard the plane or crating him for the short flight. I haven't talked to my husband and , of course, asked for him first. I just thought I'd throw this out to see what happens. I think we're ready for a puppy and Mr. Beau sounds precious. Joyce, you mentioned something about hurting his paw? Is he okay? Just let me know what you both think, Joyce and . Lots of love, Trace Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted February 2, 2003 Report Share Posted February 2, 2003 How wonderful, Trace! I was just praying last night about a home for Mr. Beau -- for some reason God put him on my heart.

Guest guest Posted February 2, 2003 Report Share Posted February 2, 2003 Trace and Joycie, This sounds like the perfect solution. Yes he would be able to be in a little carrier, a soft one, from like petsmart would work, or wal-mart has them as well. He can go on the flight, slipped under the seat for take off and landings. Have done this before myself........ years ago. Trace, your girls would be terrific for this little guy. I will back off, but if it does not work out....... I got dibbs okay? But when you get him, give him a hug and kiss from auntie I too have been praying for this little guy and for Joycie, my heart goes out to her. She is a wonderful woman.

Guest guest Posted February 2, 2003 Report Share Posted February 2, 2003 That is a great idea! A toy poodle, as long as the carrier fit under the seat, could easily be taken as carry-on luggage. Most airlines have no problem with this, and it is a short flight. Hooray for Mr. Beau!!!
