Thanks much, Andy. I think it all sounds far too complicated to
bother. And I hate the idea of him having to be in cargo, much less on
a separate plane.

Oh he's got his shots, no fleas, heartworm meds, trimmed toenails,
regular baths, micro-chip (first thing I did when I go thim) and minty
fresh breath from daily toothbrushings. :)

You know, I thought it was months but thought I was misremembering. I
mean, that's a lot of time in a dog's life. Especially a big guy like
him.

I think we'll stay on this side of the Atlantic for a while. :(
