Travel to Europe

Well, just wanted to let everyone know that we are back from France and Milka had a great time!!!! She did really well on the flights even though they were long--it was longer coming back at 7 1/2 hours with 2 hour arrival at the airport before. There was a Swiss Bernese on the flight back and she was stressed and scratching and just not in good shape. THANK GOODNESS Milka is used to her crate. She sleeps in it each night and travels in one in the car so she was just the expert at the airport and remained calm. I'll email pictures of her when I get them developed. She could go almost everywhere (no grocery stores and no caves--we were in the region with the famous Lascaux cave paintings drawn by man over 10,000 years ago--I think she was ok missing those tours). She slept next to our table as we ate at restaurants, she slept in the middle of the canoe, and even went to museum parks. When I asked the woman at the museum park if dogs were allowed, she looked at me as if I were crazy and said "of course." Needless to say, is there anyway we get the US to be like Europe about dogs?!!

Also, FYI, the Paris airport is not good for dogs even though the French love dogs. There is NO grass anywhere right around the airport so we had to drive to some gas stations close by. Just a point to remember that each airport is different.
