Not up to me.

Too late now of course, but couldn't you claim the dog as a service pet allowing you to bring it on board a plane?

I swear I've seen some very questionable "service dogs" that look like they're super-pampered and ready for the Westminster Kennel Club show everyday of the year. Looking at the pet's "handlers" and overhearing their often snooty personalities, I'm convinced there's a loophole to bring their dog along with them on board the plane and bypassing the need to ship them.

We actually decided when we got back to Ohio that we wanted the little guy.

We flew Delta, so you can bring a small dog aboard, this was a chihuahua/Rat Terrier mix. Such a cute little bugger.

However, we already have two dogs and decided a third might take away from our two and deemed it not feasible.

Hey Jbubble,
It sounds like you've already got a plan coming together. But I just wanted to mention that I've got an '05 Tacoma pickup I use to take my bike (M696) places all the time, along with all the tie-downs. I live in Houma, LA which is about an hour south of New Orleans. If you give me advance notice I can take a few days off and help move your bike or, if you can figure out a way to get it back to me, you can borrow the truck for a week or two. I've got another car so you wouldn't be putting me out. Just let me know. Good Luck.

I've been moving my bikes in the back of the truck for a few years; it's perfectly safe IMO so don't worry about that. And it'd be cool to actually meet some of the people I've met on this board.

I appreciate it swampduc. Looks we've got a plan coming together. I'll keep you in mind if I need it.

wouldn't you about hit the 700$ (as that price will drop to about 500$, ok so 500$) in just paying out goodwill favors to helpers of the DMF?


Not to be a naysayer, but if you use a shipper, you are insured against theft, damage, etc.



How about taking up a donation thread to get your bike moved?

I'd throw some money in.
