Tuesday - Final confirmations & unsuspecting Bengals
So after a few hectic phone calls and email relays with Ma (Tina Barber), the soon-to-be shiloh member of my household is schedule to be en-route to Melbourne Airport two days from now. Its a tad unfortunate that I have unavoidable work until 7, and need to send my better half to pick the fluffball up. Delta was surprisingly easy to handle and didn't fuss about my adding his name to the pickup list.. but then again, they're all backwards about animal transport anyways. Who ever heard of Pit Bulls expiring in 70 degree weather? If you're confused.. Mark had done a little background research on how airlines regulate dog shipping, and brachycephalic animals have special conditions. That in itself isn't surprising, except that they have an idea that flat-faced pugs and bulldogs will somehow immediately expire in "hot" weather.. which is.. apparently, 70 degrees. Maybe he read it wrong, or maybe the airline companies are complete whack jobs. Probably both. I'll add on here that they included AmStaffs and Pit bulls on that list, I guess jowls=flat face, who knew?!
Anyways, Messire Comet has a crate, a room, and plenty of chews waiting for him upon his arrival. I have my whole gameplan of easing his transition in mind, and my lists/charts are updated and awaiting data input.
