What to Expect When You Expect to Fly (With Your Dog or Other Small Animal)

I’m so excited today for three reasons.  First, it’s Friday, which is reason enough!  Second, we have our first guest contributor.  And third, it’s almost Memorial Day, and that means only one thing:  it’s time for summer travel.

We just booked our flight for a wedding in California, and I am contemplating taking Bailey with us on the plane.  Bailey has never been airborne, which is why I asked Amber, a good friend of mine who has appeared on uptownpuppy a few times, to share her expertise on flying with a small pet.  No one is as experienced as Amber who flies at least every other week (so it seems) and almost all the time, Mindy is flying with her.  Take it away, Amber! …

Play Date Weekend Photo Roll

This weekend, Bailey and I had a long, overdue brunch and play date with my friend Jene and her dog Ozzie.

The play date was primarily an excuse for me to catch up with Jene. But it was also Ozzie’s one-year adoption anniversary, so Sarah and I made birthday cupcakes for Ozzie and Bailey, and Jene brought mini cupcakes for us from Baked by Melissa’s. Because I was still behind on sleep from daylights savings, I ordered brunch from Good Enough to Eat, another UWS favorite. I had no idea they delivered. No more long lines for their Peter Paul pancakes!

We had a great time catching up, and I learned a thing or two about dogs (more to come in future posts). Click through to see more pictures from the play date.
