Well, I made it  (flight from Kauai to WA state) and so did my husband and Lucy! Nobody even questioned me about Lucy’s health certificate…or batted an eye that I was bringing on an animal that is not usually allowed on their airlines. It was kinda weird. Course, my mom was there helping us move and she got away with bringing a water bottle, a tangerine, and a bottle of sunscreen on. Guess she had other things on her mind.

We got in yesterday  morning and Lucy kept me up the whole flight (kept her on my lap). Whenever I started to doze, she would thump. She peed twice in her carrier and I could tell when she was going to because she would start getting a bit frantic, like looking for her box. I put a towel with old pee in her carrier so she would be encouraged to just let it out. I also used the wet lettuce idea to keep her hydrated, and that seemed to work quite well, as her digestion is still normal! So she made it beautifully, and I thought we were good to go, got her home set up, put a blanket over her to encourage rest, came back in an hour, and she was MAD. She has never growled, boxed or bit me, but yesterday, she did all three. It made me so sad!!! So I left her alone to settle more and today, she has started warming up to me again, thank goodness. I don’t think I could stand much more of her cold shoulder! I think she was probably ticked off at how cold it is here compared to her year on Kauai, her ears have never been so cold, but her cage is now insulated by towels and her ears are happy.

Yay for it being over!!!

Thanks everyone for suggestions and good lucks!
