Lessons in Assertiveness

Jet Setter
Dear Sparky,
I’m an Irish Setter, and I had the most horrible experience of my life. My master accepted a new job across the country, and we flew to our new home.
When he first talked about this transfer, I was so excited. I have always dreamed of travel. Well, no longer, Sparky. My enthusiasm frosted over when we got to the airport. My master flew inside the cabin, and I went CARGO! It took me three days to thaw out, and I thought I’d never be able to eat again! Slowly, however, I’ve gotten back my land legs, and my appetite has returned.
Just thought I’d share. Traveling is not all it’s cracked up to be.
Crated in Cargo
Dear Crated,
The big question: DID YOU GET FREQUENT FLYER MILES? If not, then no amount of discomfort is worth it! Until we have our own Canine Airbus, then we’re at the mercy of our masters.
Sorry you suffered,
Sparky
