While on the Discovery Nature chat site, I recently came across the following message. I have asked for (and received) permission to post this, so that anyone who may be capable of helping, can do so... Any person wishing to respond to this, please send e-mail directly to [log in to unmask] - thankyou by [log in to unmask], Thu Jun 19 21:47:46 1997 FERRET WARNING: Vanguard Airlines, serving Las Vegas, Chicago Midway, and other ports of call, may allow only one-way travel with your dear pet. My friend Gary flew to Illinois a few months ago on Vanguard, in the company of the lovely Gracie. No one asked him about the carrier or gave him any grief. Friday, when Gary & Gracie went to board the plane home to Las Vegas, the flight attendant curtly informed him that ferrets were not allowed on that airline. He explained that he had been allowed to bring her on the flight out with no problem. He explained that she was never trouble in transit, and more importantly, that he had no other way to get her home. The attendant still refused, but said he could ask the pilot. The pilot said NO. Gary refused to board without Gracie and drove her to my house in SE Wis. Here he waited until she curled up to sleep with my 5 ferrets, and then he left. NEVER fly Vanguard. Does anyone know how to get a homesick ferret from Wisconsin to Vegas? She's eating okay, but she looks for him. One of her temp cagemates, Shasta, starved herself nearly to death when we adopted her, because she missed her prior mama. I love Gracie, and I want her to be with her daddy where she belongs. I can't drive her there. Is there a trusted shipping company, or is anyone "going her way?" --CRC, Wilmot, WI mailto:[log in to unmask] Thanks in advance for any help you can give to this fuzzy and her owner.
