Pets, Pets, Pets Everywhere You Go


We made a quick trip to spend a couple of days of the holiday week with my husband's family in Arkansas. On our way back Wednesday evening, we saw a cute Maltese in a fancy carrying case in the Memphis airport.

Turns out Butch -- he sure didn't look like he fit his name -- was on our flight back to Philadelphia. We talked with his owner as we waited at baggage claim. (Photo is of a generic Maltese, not Butch, because I did not have a camera with me.)

He travels by air about three times a year and didn't bark at all during the flight. His owner said the 4-year-old pooch was restless, and he was shivering as she held him at the baggage carousel. She said Butch had a great time during the holidays, but the 3-year-old and 5-year-old kids they were staying with thought he was a wind-up toy.
