Another fluff ball! He also came from northern MN like the pups in the previous post, but we delivered him to a family in MN. I think Mom was more excited than her son, but I'm guessing it didn't take long for boy and dog to become best friends!

Check out these lil fluff balls! We picked them up from their breeder in northern MN and took them to meet their flight nanny at MSP. We only had 1 brief stop with them, and I don't know their ultimate destination, but they sure are cute!

Just look at the joy on Remy's new mom's face! Priceless! That's a big part of what makes this so much fun! Of course we get attached to our furry friends and delivery can be bit, umm...ruff (sorry, had to do it😆), but the reaction I was able to capture on camera this time makes it so worthwhile. We picked up Remy in WI and brought her to her new family in MI.

A bunny? Yes, a bunny! FFTA is open to transporting other pets in addition to dogs and cats. This was our first bunny. He had a very long name that we could not remember, so we nicknamed him Twix. We met up with another transporter who brought him from TX to VA. We helped him complete his journey to his new home in OH. Although we heard otherwise from the other transporter, we found Twix to be an easygoing, friendly fella. Of course he didn't need potty stops, and we only had him for part of a day, but it's still kinda fun to add bunny to the list of pets we've transported.

We took Finn from WI to his new mom in MI. His new mom was very much looking forward to having a furry companion again to keep her company. We didn't have him very long, but it was long enough to realize just how sweet this baby boy was. His new mom was very lucky to get him.

Let's fast forward a few months. We're...a few months behind on posting pics and stories, but that does allow us to post updates as we receive them. Finn got a little to adventurous for his own good. He wanted to far from home and got lost for a few days. He was found 5 miles from his home. He was ok, but he didn't like being lost. His mom said he was a bit concerned about her being out of his sight, esp that first night. We're just very thankful that he was found and safely returned.

Isn't she beautiful? And every bit as soft as she looks! Luna went from MN to her new mom in MA. Typical Maine C**n, she was very friendly, curious and playful. We send pics and updates throughout the entire trip. Although that helped, her new mom admitted to being a nervous wreck as she awaited Luna's arrival. She had made 2 other attempts at getting a Maine C**n, both of which only brought about disappointment, distrust, and loss of money. She took a chance one more time, trusting Furry Friends Travel Agency to make her dreams come true. She admittedly didn't rest easy until she finally held her kitty in her arms.

Ivanka also came from northern MN and needed a ride to the airport. She wasn't going to a fight nanny though. She was going to meet her new dad and fly with him to her new home in Canada. She was a very nervous girl. We attempted 1 potty stop for her on the way to the airport, but had to return her to her crate for her own safety. Her dad let me know from the airport a little later that she was relaxing a little, drinking and accepting treats. I'm sure this was one happy girl to be done with her travels!

These pups also came from northern MN. We took them home to MI where their new mom and dad were eager to add them to their family. They were nicknamed by us as Lucy and Linus. Now they are Winni and Remi. We are VERY fortunate to have follow-up pics of these little fluff balls! That so seldom happens so I'm excited to share that with you too! These are the pics from transport. I'll post. More recent pics in the comments. Winni now weighs 5 lbs and Remi is 14.5 lbs. Quite the difference! In a recent update their mom voiced her concern about Winni getting hurt because they play so rough and Remi doesn't realize he's so much bigger.

We didn't have much time with these pups! We took them from a breeder in northern MN to a flight nanny at MSP airport. It was a 3 1/2 hour drive so we had 1 potty stop. My daughter nicknamed them Charlie Brown and Pigpen. Pigpen peed on her so that may have influenced the nickname.

Frankie Lucas and his family were moving from WI to GA. Mom had so much to do though before she could move, so her brother helped by taking Frankie Lucas, allowing her to focus more on the other stuff. Frankie had playmates waiting for him, so I'm sure he was kept busy while waiting for Mom to get there!

Mojo's new mom in KY chose him from the litter very early, so the wait for him to be old enough to make the trip from MN was almost unbearably long. Ok, so.... let's add 3 more weeks to that! Unfortunately Mojo caught a kitty cold. Of course we all wanted him healthy for his big trip, so his trip was delayed a few weeks, until he had recovered. I'm pretty sure though that his new mom still considered him well worth the wait! Does his color pattern remind you of a cinnamon swirl something, or am I just hungry?

For the 3rd time I was fortunate to meet once again the lady who hired me for my very first transport. This time it involved a rescue. She rescued Oggie from a puppy mill in WI. When he was ready for his new home in MN, Furry Friends Travel Agency stepped in to get him there safe and sound. This was a day trip so we didn't get to spend a lot of time with him, but we can tell you he was a very mellow pup. That's to be expected of a Bernese Mountain Dog. Check out the size of those feet! As a Bernese, we also know he's going to be a very big boy! His new family couldn't wait to meet him!

Sir Tom and his dad were moving from AZ to GA. Dad flew with him to IL first, so Sir Tom hung out with friends there for a couple weeks while Dad completed the moving process. We had him overnight but he had no interest in leaving the crate. He wouldn't even leave the litter box! He enjoyed our attention though. We were unable to get a pic of him with Dad because he freaked out when he was removed from the safety of his crate. He seemed in quickly though,
and Dad was so happy to have him back! By the time we were settled into our hotel, Dad had already sent a video update, and was really enjoying being out of the crate and back with his dad.

Oh, Benny! Benny ties with Hercules as the most difficult delivery for me so far. Remember Hercules, the senior rescue? I wasn't a blubbering mess for Benny, perhaps because his situation was so different, but an unexpected challenge at the end made it equally difficult. Benny lived in WI. His mom bought him an all expense paid trip to FL fur a month-- for training. They have used this trainer before, perhaps he was even a family friend. Mom had trouble saying goodbye to her baby, so we kept pickup short and Mom held it together. Benny on the other hand readily jumped into the van and settled with one of the new bones his mom got him for the trip. At just 6 months old, Benny of course had plenty of puppy energy to contribute to playtime, but he was remarkably well behaved when asked to do so. This made him an amazing travel companion. At delivery, however, his outgoing friendly behavior changed. He became very fearful. After arrival, we were ushered into the trainer's backyard, which was surrounded by a privacy fence. As he trainer checked Benny's paperwork and belongings, Benny hid behind us, tail tucked. When the leash was handed over, Benny began pulling back, trying to get out of his harness and get away when the trainer attempted to walk him. "I don't think I'll be able to do anything with him while you are still here." Hint taken. We left the yard but took a moment to tidy up the van before departing. With just a privacy fence between us, we could easily hear Benny's cries, barks and howls. It was heartbreaking! It was so hard not to go back and "rescue" him after seeing such a sudden change in his behavior, but our job was simply to transport, thtrainer was known to Benny's family, and I heard no other sounds to cause suspicion. I contacted Mom to let her know Benny was delivered safe and sound. The trainer had already told her about Benny being very vocal. It broke her heart. We were not asked to intervene. Our job was complete, and it was time to move on.

This is Cookie. We only had her for a few hours as we picked her up in MN and took her to the airport. She was going to MI and I thought this was her new mom. Turns out she's a flight nanny, lol! You'll see more pups that I delivered to her at MSP as she completed the delivery to their new homes in other states.

WHAT?? That's not a furry friend!

Nope. Sometimes I get a request to transport something else. We picked up these 30 chairs in TX for a friend in MO. If you've been following my page, you've probably seen a couple other items. They were for her too! They turn out to be rather uncooperative as pets. They are very stubborn, refuse to leave the van on their own accord. On a positive note, they're very quiet and really don't cause much trouble otherwise.

This is Nash. His mom made the decision to return to school, which included the difficult decision to re-home Nash bc she wouldn't have time for him. She found friends who were willing to take him in, so we provided his ride from KS to TX. Usually it's the deliveries that can be hard, but his mom had a really hard time saying goodbye to him when we arrived to pick him up, so this time pick up was more sad.

Funny story with this cute lil guy! Part of his trip was shared with Shooter (see pervious post). Once Shooter was delivered, we rearranged crates so Nash was closer to us. This gave him a slightly different view. As we were going through a construction zone (1 of many), an orange sign came into his view. Apparently it surprised him and he found it necessary to alert us to the impending danger🤣🤣🤣

This is Scooter. He needed a ride from his breeder in IA to his new family in Oklahoma. As a hound dog, he was quite vocal, and he didn't settle down as quickly as most furry babies. Also, the store where his breeder buys puppy food ran out of the food they usually buy. This resulted in a sudden food change, which we like to avoid bc it often leads to loose stool for a few days as their bodies adjust. Therefore his trip was a bit less pleasant than most. We did our best to keep him clean, and delivered him safe and sound to his eagerly awaiting new family.
