LIL' BUDDY'S BLOG: It's Summer! For Us Smaller Four-Pawed Flyers, Here Comes Cheaper Airfares!
THE CHICAGO IL REAL ESTATE MARKET, AND OTHER THINGS CHICAGO, FROM THE POINT OF VIEW OF A LITTLE WHITE DOG!
Here Comes Summer! Wow, you dogs - don't you like those ole' summertime songs. I don't know about you, but I have over 50 downloaded MP3 Music Files to listen to while the weather is warm around here in Chicago - you know, for about six weeks or so.
Just updated by Dog-Pod!
Wanna celebrate something special this summer for dogs, and cats as well? Something that we have ALL OVER our Humans?
Well, any dog or cat can hop on Texas-based Southwest Airlines, which serves Chicago Midway Airport on the South Side, for only $75 each way. The airline also plans to provide separate "dog runs" outside security in the airports they serve in case, well, you know, we have to hit the potty before we fly.
As Chicago Tribune Reporter Julie Johnson reports, there are a few catches, however! (Aren't there always?)
All flying dogs and cats must fit in a leak-proof carry case that fits under an airline seat. So Alice, your favorite adult Great Dane, will not be welcome to travel. All dogs must be accompanied by their designated humans - sorry, you dogs - no flying solo!
Also, unfortunately, we dogs will not be able to stretch our paws on long flights, by walking about the cabin, nor be eligible for membership in the famed "Mile High" Club. Too bad!
I have also heard a rumor that no peanuts will be served to my little furry compadres flying on Southwest - although, at this point, this is only a rumor.
Man, you dogs! Only $75 to fly across the country! That's far cheaper than our favorite humans pay!
Now, all I have to do is figure out how to fit a small 2-ounce plastic bottle of my Dog So Soft Shampoo into my fur, as well as my new high-tech Gillette Four-Blade Razor, so that it passes through security!
It's Summertime, Summertime, Sum, Sum, Summertime . . . !
