Delta's policy says a dog's ears cannot touch the top of the kennel. When Donner does not have his ears cocked, they touch the top of his 30" high kennel by a half of an inch or so. The next-sized kennel is 49" high, impossible for anyone to lug around alone with a dog in one hand. The schoolmarm staffing Delta's cargo desk told me if i show up with the 30" kennel, they will refuse to ship Donner even if it means i have to drive home. My guess is that the people staffing the pet check-in desk will apply empathy, if not reason. If not, i have to decide whether to get the larger kennel, fly the one-stop American flight in the afternoon, or drive the six days to DC. I will keep you posted.
For reasons i cannot figure out, someone keeps throwing one obstacle after another in our desire to get hone, safely or all, starting with the cancellation of the September 25th ferry, Columbia. Whoever is doing that had better understand that I do not give up if a matter is important to me.
