Dear Readers,

As you might imagine, I’m keeping my nose to the ground for any news on the new doggie airline, @barkair! It’s so genius, I can’t imagine why someone didn’t think of it sooner. At long last, dogs will be flying furst class. Oh, and aren’t their boarding passes just the cat’s meow! (Just kidding of course, cats are not allowed. Right? Right?)

Unfortunately, however, I have just learned that BARK Air hit a ruff patch of its own, having been sued right after its first flight. Something about too many seats on the plane for the FBO from which they departed. (Momma says FBO stands for fixed base operator (small terminal), but I think Fur Ball Onboard makes more sense, don’t you?) By the way, boarding from an FBO means Momma won’t have her hands swabbed — while awkwardly juggling me and her carry on– as we go through security hell to detect explosives that she may have hidden in me.

Well, anyway, a pesky lawsuit will surely not stop BARK Air (just like Trump doesn’t seem to be stopped no matter what he does). Plus, if there are too many seats, I woof, just take some out! The human companions can sit or lie on the floor like we used to, right? I’ll call the airline and tell them how much Momma weighs, crate included — for weight and balances purposes only, of course.

And get this, recently BARK’s CEO (see photo below) rode in a crate from South Florida to NYC just to show how we dogs must feel stuck in one for three plus hours.

It makes me think of my own ordeal, which hopefully is a thing of the past. Soon I’ll be enjoying the view from 30,000 feet like this little doggo rather than scrunched under the seat with a view of Momma’s shoes.

On another pawsitive note, BARK Air is growing, due largely to customer zoomies as they say! I see they have already added flights for San Fransisco, Los Angeles, Chicago, Phoenix, Miami/Fort Lauderdale, London and Paris as illustrated by the map below.

Can MSP and RSW be far behind?! Remember BARK Air, we’re not just fly-over country anymore. Maybe I’ll send them a link to my blog — just think of their advertising opportunities!

Lina, Paws up!

WOOFDA!
