Arrived in Europe!

We arrived at Frankfurt Airport yesterday morning. All three of us were on the same planes and we got our connections in Toronto easily. Muffin behaved well in his bag. Only when he couldn't see me being around, he got upset. Probably that was because of his separation anxiety that he still seems to have when Poldi is not around. Anyway, no accidents in any of the creates.
So, I am happy that everything was so easy. More the next days...Tina

3 days to go

we've been for 2 really long walks today. First with our best friend Ivan, the white shepherd husky mix, in the morning. Then, Tina's friend came around and with her another dog, Winston the chocolate lab. We've been for a long walk with them, too and now we are all tired.
Tina will be on a good bye party this evening and Poldi and I might just sleep. Last  night, Poldi slept in his traveling kennel with the door closed to get him used to the kennel again. I slept in my traveling bag with the door open since I like it anyway. Tina keeps pretending she wouldn't be nervous but I could bet she is....she never before said "everything will be fine" like 10 times a day...I am only concerned about the fact that Tina said I won't get supper on Tuesday since dogs should not eat while flying. Maybe I could put on my "poor-little-doggie-look" so that other people give me something to eat - Tina said there will be a lot of people at the Airport and in the plane...so let's see, I still have hope that there will be supper for me on Tuesday as well!

4 days to go....

busy times, organizing and preparing our BIG MOVE....

Yesterday, I found out that both dogs were booked only for the second part of the flight - from Toronto to Frankfurt - but not for the first part - Halifax to Toronto. (?!?!)

I really wonder how something like that could happen. Even if someone would consider them purely as baggage - it doesn't make any sense to book in a suitcase only for the second part...nobody could check it in....????

Anyway, after several calls with Lufthansa and Air Canada everything is fixed now and the dogs are booked for the first half of our journey as well.

So if anybody of you out there ever plans to travel with pets - call your airline and make sure that everything is allright and that they really SEE your reservations in their computer system....

countdown to Europe

it's only 12 days until Tina, Poldi, and I will be leaving Canada.... and we already sold our car.

Today I got groomed. I was scared and the groomer told Tina that I shivered the whole 2 hours! Tina said she was really surprised since I am normally such a brave little guy, she thinks maybe I am traumatized since my last grooming was during my hard times in summer (even though the groomer was such a nice lady).
The good news is that the groomer estimated my age to be around 6 years! Wow maybe I am still that young! Would be great!
I totally look like a poodle now look at the picture:

The picture below shows me in my new travel bag that we will use for the flight to Europe. I think it's more  like a doggy bed and Tina seems to very glad that I like it soo much...

wow, it's hard to believe that it's me on both pictures.....
