Read the fine print. We checked Delta and with all the other costs it would be over a grand. My wife did the call so I dont know all the details but there were other stipulations as well. The dogs are wonderful animals and I would love to have them but without pulling any punches I think I would be happier if they had a good home and I will explain. My grandmother is 91 and very fragile. The dogs are what they are and could easily knock her down and her care is number 1. I could seperate the dogs in a different part of the house but that wouldn't be fair to them being in a room all the time away from everything. I have NO JOB AND HAVE NO IDEA HOW I AM EVEN GOING TO PAY OFF THE MOVE. The POD was 2900 here to NY and the auto train is 800eddie102870 said:so your looking at around 400 bucks to fly them.
We also have 2000 on the card for the emergency flight up a few weeks back and all the unknown expenses as she is still in the hospital. My Bulldog was checked by the vet and even at 1 1/2 years old has a hip problem. He is absolutely fine right now but could need surgery later in life, so we feed him a glucosamine supplement food. The pit is actually much sweeter than the bulldog. She craves non stop love and doesnt have a mean bone in her body. The bulldog is the same but only when he is in the mood. I have talked to the vet where I adopted the pit and they offered to take her back and find her a new home but that still leaves me needing to find a home for the bulldog and wishing they could stay together because of how well they get along.
So to answer a fair question...would I take them if I could afford it absolutely because they are my family. Would I feel better if someone in this extended family could take them...YES. I would know how to check on them and be able to concentrate on my grandmother in her time of need as she is all I have left for those who havent read other threads. I am an only child and lost my parents when I was much younger. She needs family and I am willing to sacrifice everything to make up for not being there for my father.
