2. You probably don't have to get in contact with the airline! Get those papers you mentioned in order, and have them ready when you arrive. And, arrive early! They're gonna try to quarantine puppy for a bit b4 flight. They do that with CATS, too. Don't arrive 5 minutes b4 your flight departs, and expect 1st-class service, which you weren't paying for anyway for you or your dog anyway, right?


Very bad advice! You HAVE TO get in touch with the airline. If you show up with your dog in a carrier you will be denied boarding.

Here is the information for Air Canada pet travel: http://www.aircanada.com/en/travelinfo/airport/baggage/pets-in-baggage.html

It says that you must contact the airline within 24 hours of booking your ticket, and it also says that they do not transport dogs in the checked baggage from November 1st to March 31st. It also says that some planes can't take any animals. So it is very important that you call them and check.

So in the end I contacted the airline. They don't ship animals between Dec 15 and Jan 12 because of the holidays and extra baggage. My ticket of course is the 19th, because in Korea if it could go wrong it WILL go wrong.

Now I have to ship the dog independently whether I like it or not. Or, said pup can live with a friend for a few months until I get myself back to Japan (where I am moving next). Which is a different rigmarole of awful because Japan is a rabies free country and I got my dog vaccinated then microchiped instead of microchiped then vaccinated.

Ah Japan, a less aggressive kind of pedantic nuttery than Korea, but nuttery it is.

Ah Japan! "In the Spring a young man's fancy lightly turns to thoughts of love" amongst the blossoms flutter falling from the Sakura trees. Then again, "April is the cruellest month, breeding. Lilacs out of the dead land, mixing. Memory and desire, stirring. Dull roots with spring rain." Less aggressive sounds nice enough when compared to here, though. Save me a place in the park on the blanket!

April is the season of public drunkenness under the sakura. If you buy the ticket, I provide the blanket and booze.

Sweet. Fallacy you are a smoothy.
We can see how easy it is for the guys of this site to criticize the females of this site. In general, guys tend to overlook the 'female logic and emotionality' as they want to bed them. But due to the virtual nature of this site, the ability to overlook the obvious chance to be romantic is high, basically because there is little chance to meet or sleep with them.
Then in walks Fallacy. Well done.

Dude, as I mentioned, I haven't done anything like this in a dog's age, har har! When I mentioned about not talking to the airline, I meant if she had a "capable" agent booking the flight, or if she was doing it herself, capably, via an online site, the airline would know in advance, and a bunch of extra time-wasting wouldn't be necessary. But, yes, your words, and link, are appreciated.

Perhaps, and as the comments are a compliment to my charm, so I am much obliged to give thanks for them, but is there nothing of interest regarding the poetic references? From whence they came, or howst they be employed here for romantic enchantment? Honestly, who can resist the enamourata of a damsel in distress, and her valiant dog, hmn? I am but no more than a tiny insect attracted from afar by the eerie ultraviolet waves emanating from her magnetism, as if to a bug zapper, and thus to my death. Ah, the irony, which is contained in the original lyrics themselves, and forewarned by the opening lines, yet this wishful dalliance is tangential, though, so I will leave off here.
