I picked up my sister's dog at the airport once. It was easier than I expected. hellocupcake on "Would you be willing to do this?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-be-willing-to-do-this#post-1113711 Thu, 26 Sep 2013 13:00:41 +0000 hellocupcake 1113711@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I would totally do it. I'm big on helping family, and it seems like a short term inconvenience. (: on the other hand, I can see why you would say no.

That would be so stressful.

I can't even imagine dealing with a carrier and a LO at the same time, particularly going through security where you'd have to carry both of them (the carrier bag has to go through the x-ray machine separately). Also, keep in mind that the animal carrier counts as your carry-on so unless you're buying a seat for your LO, you'd only be able to bring one other item, i.e. diaper bag, on board with you. avivoca on "Would you be willing to do this?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-be-willing-to-do-this#post-1113662 Thu, 26 Sep 2013 12:51:15 +0000 avivoca 1113662@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Dog sitting, I would do. I would not try to fly with my child and someone else's dog, especially not knowing how either is going to act during the trip.

Fly alone with a dog who isn't my own and my child - I would not do. I agree that it'd be nice to help him out, but what he's asking is too much. Would he like to fly with his dog and your baby alone? Probably not. I'd suggest helping him find a dog walker to come to his house mid-day and give the dog some love & a walk. I bet the dog will be more tired and much more happy. nana87 on "Would you be willing to do this?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-be-willing-to-do-this#post-1113303 Thu, 26 Sep 2013 11:41:58 +0000 nana87 1113303@https://boards.hellobee.com/ that is a huge thing to ask! even without a baby, I'd be hesitant! artsyfartsy on "Would you be willing to do this?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-be-willing-to-do-this#post-1113294 Thu, 26 Sep 2013 11:40:25 +0000 artsyfartsy 1113294@https://boards.hellobee.com/ No I wouldn't.

I've flown alone with a 14mo and it is a lot of work. They have no right to be angry with you for not doing something that's not your responsibility to begin with.

Or he is going home at Thanksgiving: find a dog daycare or sitter in the meantime and take him with you when you go home. @Foodnerd81: I have flown with LO before and its a pain. It was easier when he was younger, actually. Now, he's more awake and doesn't like being confined to my lap. I can just see going through security and everyone looking at us like we are the crazy people who brought both a dog and a baby. Just not eager to be those people. OR the people with a crying baby and a yelping dog on the plane.

A dog and your baby on the plane? No way! Mae on "Would you be willing to do this?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-be-willing-to-do-this#post-1112944 Thu, 26 Sep 2013 10:36:37 +0000 Mae 1112944@https://boards.hellobee.com/ If the dog is small enough to fit under the front seat and your DH will be with you on the plane, I would. Worst case scenario it's only like 2.5 hours from getting to the airport to getting to your destination so even if it sucks it is a short amount of time and you and your DH could play zone defense against the LO and dog. chopsuey on "Would you be willing to do this?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-be-willing-to-do-this#post-1112940 Thu, 26 Sep 2013 10:34:56 +0000 chopsuey 1112940@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I would suggest that he have the dog fly solo. Drop off at the airport and have your mom pick the pup up. Breeders do it all the time! pinkcupcake on "Would you be willing to do this?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-be-willing-to-do-this#post-1112939 Thu, 26 Sep 2013 10:34:23 +0000 pinkcupcake 1112939@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Is your DH going on the plane w/ you? If so, I would do it to help out your brother Foodnerd81 on "Would you be willing to do this?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-be-willing-to-do-this#post-1112937 Thu, 26 Sep 2013 10:34:14 +0000 Foodnerd81 1112937@https://boards.hellobee.com/ No. I would not. I am already stressing about how to take our dog out for walks and balancing with Los naps and sleep for the few days Dh will be away, so that first week would already be a problem! If he could bring the dog later, I'm not sure. Have you flown with Lo before? I wouldn't add that complication to my first flight with a baby. It is stressing me just thinking about it! mrsjyw on "Would you be willing to do this?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-be-willing-to-do-this#post-1112924 Thu, 26 Sep 2013 10:31:20 +0000 mrsjyw 1112924@https://boards.hellobee.com/ i would not. i think he should take the dog to your parents. watching the dog for a week is one thing. transporting via plane with your baby? no way. Amelieisme on "Would you be willing to do this?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-be-willing-to-do-this#post-1112908 Thu, 26 Sep 2013 10:28:05 +0000 Amelieisme 1112908@https://boards.hellobee.com/ My single brother just moved 5 hours from me (he is the baby of 5 children) and I am the closest family member. He has a mini dachshund who is maybe 2 years old and pretty rambunctious. He lives in an apartment complex and he is having problems with the neighbors calling on him for his dog barking while he is away at work. I am flying home to visit my parents next weekend (a little over an hour flight) with my DH and DS (14 months). He asked if he could drive the dog down to me this weekend so I could keep him next week while I am home alone with LO as DH will be gone on business and then carry the dog onto the plane with me to fly him home to my parents who will keep him until my brother can figure out a longer term solution for the dog/neighbor situation. I don't really mind keeping the dog, but flying with a dog and my LO doesn't sound like fun. Mind you, I have flown with my own well-behaved small dog before, but never with LO as well. And I don't even know how this dog will behave on the plane. I think this is a bit much to ask...He (and my mom whose grand plan this was) and angry at me for acting like it was a little much to ask. Thoughts? Would you do this?
