Re: Dogs and Ryanaire

Just a thought I wonder if the presence of a gentle dog might make nervous passengers feel better, I know I feel calmer with a dog by my side. Sort of like flying PAT dogs.

Having said that, I would not object to a small well behaved dog being on a plane with me, but I would not be happy seated with one of dodgy temperament, or being travel sick (or worse), all over me!

There are literally thousands of lovely holiday cottages etc, where pets are welcome nowadays, so that would be my personal choice. They love a change of scene and new smells and adventures just as much as we do, and I would not be selfish enough to stick 'em in kennels, a life they are not used to, just so that I could clear off and enjoy myself. My dogs are MY responsibility, and I don't just dump 'em when it suits.
Excellent post, Mups, I feel exactly the same about my cats.

Re: Dogs and Ryanaire

I think its a brilliant idea we already have dogs on trains and as long as the owners pay for the seat "full price" I cannot see a problem. The seats on trains are covered so they can do the same on planes. I have a JR and I am limited to having holidays abroad because I cannot leave her for more than a few days. Has for the cottages in the UK firstly there is no guarantee on warm dry weather which I need and of course the astronomical charges we have to pay for holidaying at home is ridiculous. Would love to take my mutt abroad for a month or so and hopefully it may be happening soon if Ryanair get the go ahead.
