Fuck airlines. Fuck trying to travel with pets. Continental wants $300 each way, when my ticket round trip is $200. The other 80% of the airlines don't even accept my husky as checked baggage. And the two airlines that do fly through Denver, where the temperatures are below 45F and therefor don't even allow dogs.Sigh.

kill it and then buy another
