Muno Update from the Marshall Islands

From Muno's Family;

Muno (our one eyed adopted NEBTR baby) and Walter have arrived in Kwajalein Atoll in the Marshall islands.  They spent the summer in NJ with my family (we got here in early August) until the weather was cool enough to fly them here.  They are settling right into island life.  Walks in the early morning and late evening to keep them out of the sun.  I think they had a little bit of jet lag the first night as they came cruising into our room at 4 am wanting to play with their toys (we are 16 hours ahead of the east coast)!  Our sons brought home a whole caravan of kids to meet them and they are adoring the attention!  We are so happy to have them here!  Our family is complete and they are now island dogs!

Five Alternatives To A Hot Car

Air Travel With Your BT

Travel With Your Dog

Travel by Air:

If you are going to travel with your dog by air, contact the airline at least two weeks in advance to check their dog travel policy and make arrangements for your dog to travel. Many airlines will not allow brachyocephalic breeds like the Boston Terrier to travel in the cargo compartments.

Based upon the weight of your dog, it may or may not be able to travel in the cabin in a soft sided carrier. Be sure to tell the airline that you have a Boston Terrier so you get very specific dog travel information and don't end up with a surprise on the day of your trip.

You may also need to get a health certificate, which usually needs to be issued within 10 days of your departure. Your Boston will need to travel in a carrier that is airline-approved. Most pet supply stores carry them. If your BT is not used to being in a crate, spend some time before the trip getting him accustomed to it.

Try to get the most direct flight possible. If you will be flying on a commuter plane during the trip, call them to confirm that they will carry dogs (some do not). On the day of travel, you will want to withhold food for about 12 hours prior to departure and water about 1 hour ahead.

Make sure your Boston is wearing identification including your name, phone number and city. You may also want to carry emergency instructions with the name and phone number of a friend or relative, your Make sure your Boston is wearing identification including your name, phone number and city. You may also want to carry emergency instructions with the name and phone number of a friend or relative, your veterinarian's name and contact information and any notable medical information. And, don't forget his first-aid kit.
