Hey guys!
I thought I would chronicle how Trixie came into our lives (which we'rein the middle of the process of), that way if anybody ever has theopportunity/need to fly a bunny somewhere, they know what to do, whereto go, what to expect, etc. Since we're in the middle of it,I'll give a little background, and a bit of information as to how wegot to this point.
So, since the beginning of Denise (TrixieRabbit) deciding she had torehome Trixie (see the thread here:http://rabbitsonline.net/view_topic.php?id=16674&forum_id=7 ),we both expressed how much we wanted Trixie to come and live here withme and my girls, and how frustrating that she had to be so far away,etc. But the more we got to talking about it, the more werealized that it is, indeed, do-able.
At first, we thought that we would have to figure out how to transporther via different people using their cars, but we figured that it wouldtake at least a week, and would more than likely cause much unduestress upon Trixie (which is something we wanted to avoid as much aspossible).
So, my next thought was to PM a couple people that I thought might knowwhat to do, if anything could be done in this situation (or if it wasjust not a good idea). What we quickly found out, was thatCarolyn has done this before (I think either I didn't see her post, orit was before my time on the forum) via airplane.Wow! We had no idea that it could be done! :woohoo
So, the next thing to do was call around to find out not only whichairlines could do this, but which ones would be most suitable to abunny, any restrictions, the prices (though, ultimately, we would havegone with the most expensive one if it meant she would get the besttreatment), and what we would need to do.
To be perfectly honest, I have only called one airline, and it was theone that both Denise and I, as people, have had the best experiencewith and really liked. The next thread portion will outlinewhat we found out.
