anyone who has never had a dog in their life, because too much trouble, always shedding, etc, doesn't know what they are missing, Raina is there with me, whether I'm simming or if I take her to the airport with me. Yes she has actually gone flying with the wife and I. First attempt was not all that successful, but she has adapted well and now will hop in the plane, have a set of noise cancelling ear muffs which has helped a lot.
