On May 18th 2013 I lost my best friend Frostbite. I found Frostbite on December 17, 2009 or should I say Frostbite found me. I was leaving my house to go to the store and I heard a Meow and then another. It was cold and I have a soft spot for cats so I went looking. I saw Frostbite under a car and started petting him, he was so lovable.

I fell in love and grabbed him took him to my porch, made a warm place for him and gave him a can of tuna. I couldn't bring him in without asking my girlfriend.

So we had another successful pet transport this week. Onethat made me feel really good. We picked up a baby Pit Bull from a rescuecenter in Indianapolis IN. and took her to a very loving family in ClevelandOH.

The trip was a total of 25.5 hours and boy was I tired. Ileft from Wilkes-Barre PA at 9:30 PM on Saturday night and arrived at theRescue at 10:30 AM on Sunday. The gentleman at the rescue had 2 of the mostbeautiful baby Pits I have ever seen; they were only about 11 weeks old. Wetalked for a few and I was off with the baby in the kennel.

I Just got back from transporting 2 beautiful beardedcollies from Island Park, NY to Hollywood, Fla. 1 of the bearded collies was 15years old and this was her first time in a car for such a period of time. Iknew deep in my heart that had this beautiful animal been transported via planeit would not have made it.

Both of them had meds to take (which we do not charge extralike other pet transporters do). The oldest collie had bad back legs and shehad trouble most of the trip with going potty. They hurt her so much that shecould not squat to urinate or defecate most of the time so she would lie downin the back seat and go.

JackUpdated, 2:30 p.m. |Jack the Cat, whocaptured the hearts of pet lovers across the worldafter he was lost for 61 days at Kennedy International Airport, died on Sunday, 12 days after hewas found. He was 5 or 6 years old, said his owner, Karen Pascoe, who adopted him in 2008. When Jack, a Norwegian forest cat with long orange hair and copper eyes, fell through the ceiling in the Terminal 8 customs area on Oct. 25, it initially seemed as if a happy ending was in store for the cat and his owner.

The Animal Legal Defense Fund(ALDF) has issued an emergency alert warning pet owners to avoid transporting their animals by air, particularly during the hot summer months. ALDF cited airlines continued disregard for the safety of the animals they carry as the reason for the warning.

"Despite hundreds of incidents in which animals have been lost, injured or killed while being transported by airplane, the airlines have shown little regard for the safety of the animals who are entrusted to them," said Valerie Stanley, ALDF senior staff attorney.

They're dropped, crushed, lost and rerouted.

In the very worst cases, they freeze to death on icy tarmacs, or overheat and suffocate in stifling cargo holds.

They're dogs and cats. Thousands of them are killed, injured or lost annually after their owners entrust airlines to carry and deliver them safely.

Heat alone - typically from the cargo holds of planes delayed on hot tarmacs - kills or "severely" injures more than 500 animals a year, according to the U.
