Scottish Terriers Monty and Fitzy, who’re staying with courier M until they leave for Chile, had a very busy day yesterday.
By the end of it, both they and house dog Amber were all quite tuckered out!

Post-hole-digging rage!
Nothing to do with me!
Butter wouldn’t melt…
Triple exhaustion
Fitzy and Monty are a pair of two-year-old Scottish Terriers whose journey from Middlesex to Santiage in Chile has been organised by Animalcouriers.
While they wait for their flight, they’re staying with courier M. A couple of real charmers, they’ve got their paws well and truly under the table. In no time at all they’d commandeered the best spot on the sofa, which gives them a fine view of all the goings-on in the garden and of anyone venturing up the drive.
Even Amber, the resident Golden Retriever, seems to have accepted them. Usually quite sniffy and remote with visiting dogs, she seems to have accepted Fitzy and Monty without any problem.

What a fine viewpoint
Ooh, lovely and comfy!
Animalcouriers arranged for very handsome black cat Lui to travel to the far east.
His owner recently finished her studies, so both have left behind the grey skies of the UK to enjoy the tropical heat of the Far East.

Animalcouriers recently arranged for Jess to rejoin her owner in Houston, Texas.
Since Jess’s owner relocated just over a year ago, he’s been filling the ‘dogless void’ by volunteering at the local pound. Meanwhile, his mother has been taking care of Jess. Her move west was delayed when a benign growth was found on her paw. Fortunately that healed up quickly and her flight could be rearranged.
Jess’s owner was a bit worried about how she would cope with travelling, but reported to us that “Mum said she trotted off happily with the courier and didn’t want to say goodbye!”

Animalcouriers first met Casey two years ago, when he flew in from Denver to join his owners in the UK. We collected him from the airport and delivered him to his family in Oxfordshire.
Casey is a very cute and stylish Westie — in fact, he’s the one wearing sunglasses who features on our website home page and facebook!
Now it’s time for Casey to return to the US. When he lands in Philadelphia, he’ll be met by his owners’ daughter, who’ll look after him until her parents get home later in the month.

Animalcouriers arranged for Havanese pup Oliver to fly to his new home in Bermuda with Lynne and Paul.
A delighted Lynne wrote to tell us how well he’s settling in:
“Oliver is now safe and at home! He was absolutely alert during the car ride. He was the star of the night and my father especially fell in love with him. He was playing tug of war and romping around with my brother Mark all over the kitchen floor. All of the other kids in the family are excited to see him.
“He sniffed out the main floor of the house and then we put him in his pen in our bedroom That was about 9:00 and then woke this morning about 5:30-6:00.
“Ollie is a quiet little boy who loves to play and eats very well. He follows Paul and me everywhere and of course Paul has become his guardian angel. Thank you to all of you who helped make this possible!”

Blade the Staffie stayed at kennels on a farm in Mallorca while waiting to rejoin his mum Roz in the UK.
Animalcouriers arranged for Blade to fly to Manchester, including collection from the kennels, delivery to the airport, Blade’s travel box and all the check-in services. Roz was eagerly waiting for him when he touched down and is delighted to have him home.
Can I get up here?
Yes I can!

Oliver the Havanese puppy hails from Ireland. He’s staying with Animalcouriers briefly before flying out to Bermuda.
Like most puppies, he eats, plays, sleeps and looks cute. He also somehow managed to snuggle up to Golden Retriever Amber for 40 winks. That’s very unusual, as Amber doesn’t have a maternal bone in her body and generally does her best to avoid puppies. She did, however, draw the line when Oliver tried to play with her tail.

Animalcouriers collected this handsome 12-week-old Rottweiler puppy from County Durham earlier today.
He’s staying overnight with us before an early-morning check-in at Heathrow tomorrow for his flight to Ottawa.
Off to Canada tomorrow!
Cocker Spaniel Ben had a long journey from Kuala Lumpur all the way to Aberdeen.
Marcelino of CTI Logistics, an IPATA member in Malaysia, did a great job organising Ben’s move really efficiently and keeping everyone informed.
Ben was delayed during his transit in Amsterdam, so arrived in London too late on Thursday for his flight up to Aberdeen. He spent the night at the Heathrow Animal Reception Centre, and on Friday morning Animalcouriers collected him for his rescheduled flight.
Ben’s owner Nick wrote to let us know when he arrived:
“Ben is now safe in his new home. He seems very well and calm, and we are now complete again. Thank you so much to everyone who has helped to make this go smoothly.”
Ben
