I thought I posted this but I cant find it.
Anyway, in 3 months we are moving from Chicago to Southern California to start a new life. (FI is from Cali).
Originally we really wanted to just put him under the seat on the airplane, but he is just too big! I bought the large Sherpa and he would have to be stuffed in there...so that isnt an option!!
Cargo: He would come out dead! Snoopy is still jumpy in the house when we open the trash can, even with Comfort Zone plugged in at all times, terrified in the elevator, and still wont let any human pet him other than us and the doggie day care people.....NOT NOT NOT an option!!
Pet Airline: Companion Air is still not back up yet and they say 3 months but who knows? This was going to be my choice to fly with Snoopy on the aircraft, but that doenst look like it is going to happen.
Driving: Ummm...it is a 30 hour drive, and I do not trust myself not to fall asleep...I get really tired driving, and FI really doesnt want to do this either.
Pet Transporters: At first I was very sceptical, but now that I have looked into it a bit there are 2 that we are actually thinking of.

The first is a group of 2-3 people who have a bed in the back to sleep, walk your dog on leash every 4-6 hours, and there is always someone in the back with your dog at all time.
The second is only one person who drives 12 hours at a time but then stays at a pet hotel and your dog sleeps on a bed.
We dont care about the cost. I was about to even charter a private plane if I needed to. And If they would let me buy a first class row on a pland and put him beside me in a crate, I would but they wont allow that.
I wanted to see if anyone had any other suggestions or have used any other transporters in the US.
We are going to have to make a decision soon.
Thanks
Amanda
