As most of you know, we just recently returned from our first trip back to sunny CA! We had a GREAT two weeks seeing friends and family (more on that later) and also spending time with our dog, Cooper. Part of our plan on this trip was to bring Cooper back with us to Shanghai. The pic above is her in her travel crate on the airplane. It was a long flight, with the first leg going from LAX to Detroit and then onto Shanghai. Total airtime was a whopping 19 hours and as you can tell by the look on poor Cooper’s face, it wasn’t a great experience for her! That being said, she did really well despite only going to the bathroom one time (in the middle of the Detroit airport) and having to stay in the crate for so long. Luckily, we were able to keep the crate on our lap for most of the trip and we could open the side flap a little, so she could look outside the window and watch the clouds. Right now, Cooper is in quarantine, but she’s being delivered to her new home, our apartment, on Sunday. I wonder what she’s thinking about this weather. Right now we’re enjoying 95 degree temperatures with 90% humidity– lovely. Hello summer!!!
