To cut a long story short, my step-daughter lives in Alaska with a 4 month old baby and two dogs and she wants to move back to California. All well and good so far, except the dogs can’t fly because of their breed – American and French Bulldogs. And even if they were allowed to fly, the small one has terrible gas and would be most unwelcome in an aircraft passenger cabin and the large one has so much anxiety, he probably wouldn’t survive a caged flight in the hold anyway.

So, the idea is for me to fly to Alaska, and meet my son (flying in from Denver) in Anchorage, load up the dogs in my step-daughters car and drive them back to California, while she and the baby fly back first class.

Sounds like a plan.
