[Ohio-talk] I don't have it in for any airline

[Debra Baker]

Deborah and others,


I currently travel with a large dog.  She is not only long from nose to
tail, but also 21 inches tall at the shoulder.  Though I wish I didn't have
to do so, I take her harness off when I fly and store it next to me.  I,
like Marianne, have traveled in all parts of a plane.  There seems to be
less room in the bulkhead than was once true.  So I've had difficulty both
with putting a dog under a seat in bulkhead and out.  My dogs ride at my
feet in bulkhead.  I have not had more difficulty with any airline over
another--rather, with specific attendants.  Sometimes my dog has been known
to sit up and put her head in my lap, particularly during takeoff or landing
as the pressure in her ears, or the leveling of the floor changes.  I
continue to put her down, but attendants have told me she must stay down.  I
simply respond that I am trying to accommodate, but, of course, reasoning
with a dog is like reasoning with a small
Child.  Of course, in the case of a larger dog, head and paws do protrude
from under the seat.  The only reason I now choose to take off the harness
is because my harness has an extra piece across the back that is meant to
help my balance.  

I did not see the original story either.  Annette Anderson read it and
passed it on.  

Debbie

Where is the story connected to this comment?  I am extremely curious, since
I just booked my flight to Florida for Thanksgiving and it so happens to be
on U.S. Airways, an airline I have never personally used.  
If a story was sent earlier, I didn't see it.
Thanks,
Deborah

Hi Mary ann,
I'm curious to know if the story mentioned where he kept his dog if not
under the seat in front of him?

        Thank you Jerry

Please don't think I hate any airline.  It looks like there is a pattern
developing at U.S. Airways and that is of concern.
