Complicated

So Cow has a job offer in a place that is only accessible by boat and by air. She's not sure yet if she will take it because trying to moooove the animals up there is waaaaay complicated.

You can drive for about a week to get to the harbor, and then take them on the boat. It would take about 10 days. Plus you have to find pet-friendly hotels every night to stay in. Many pet-friendly hotels restrict you to one small animal. Cow has Four Felines.

You can fly with them in the airplane. But you are only allowed one in the cabin with you per flight. That would mean four flights.

You can fly and check the pets as baggage. But if it's too hot here (over 85 degrees) or too cold there (45 or under) they won't be allowed on. And only two per passenger anyway are allowed.

Cow has made a little spreadsheet trying to figure this out.

Four trips with the pet as carry-on in the cabin (round-trips). Ugh.

Or, two round-trips with one carry-on pet each, with a friend strong-armed to come (Bunny, are you there?)

Or, one trip with friend coming, so each can check two pets as baggage (limit two each). But too hot here, can't go. Too cold there, can't go.

Or, drive for about a week and then fly the rest of the way with the pets as checked baggage and a friend along to be able to take four.

Cow's head hurts. Good thing the neighbors are taking the raccoons!

Moo!

We may be in the market for a cat.

However, any place that's only accessible by boat or by air probably has some pretty nice blooms itself, I would guess.

Fed Ex. They could ride up front and keep the driver company and still get there overnight.

Susan: you are right, lots of scenery and blooms there.

Sandi: Thank you! Will probably find a way to take all but if not will definitely let you know!

Doghouse: Cow actually did call UPS and FedEX. Cow thinks they are really missing a big profit by their rules of no animals. FedEX will take worms and stuff but no mammals.

Darn it.

Supermom, yes, Cow is calculating like mad.

Hahaha! Poor cats! We flew our cats to NY when I was a child. You could hear them screaming down the corridors at LaGuardia Airport.

Cow is sure there will be lots of meowing if she mooooves them.

And it is advised against tranquilizing them.....

Ah well. They're members of the family, so what you need to do, you do!

Moo!

Two pairs of woolly stockings, cut the toes off, one pet per leg, hey presto! Four big worms for to ride shotgun on the FedEx stagecoach.

This is how we solve problems in our organisation.

Good luck!

If you drive, just don't tell the motel you have FOUR. Stop after dark. Leave before light. Make sure your room isn't in view of the front office.
