Animalcouriers’ trip north through Spain and towards the UK is fast filling up. Today courier I collected Perry the love bird in Fuengirola. Perry has been staying with courier A whose kids have really adored having her in the house.
From there it was a short drive east along the coast road to Sotogrande (where the Ryder Cup is held, as all you golf fans will know). Here, courier I collected little Havanese dogs Jasper and Charlie and their ‘surrogate mum’ Muppet, a miniature Border Collie.
His next stop was Calahonda for Marg the cat, who’s still keeping her head down while she gets used to travelling. Then it was off to Torre del Mar to pick up Lola.
Lola is a tiny Yorkie pup who was found abandoned in a car park that is — fortunately — close to a veterinary clinic. Lola was brought in just as Jacqui was in the clinic with a stray cat due to be neutered to help keep the local population down. Jacqui couldn’t resist Lola, who is now on her way to live with Jacqui’s mum in the UK!
Perry says Hola!
Not a bad sun spot to hail a ride on the Animalcouriers van
Jasper and Charlie jostle for position
‘Calm down boys!’ says Muppet
Little Lola
“Can I ‘cuddle’ the bird?” says Cattage
Rascal says ‘I love bird’ – we think he got the wrong end of the story…
Wow ! Quite a diverse crew.
Tuneful too!
Sounds like a full van!
Full but not to bursting 😉
What a lovely bunch of fellow passengers
They are a lovely and varied bunch.
I hope bird isn’t to stressed from traveling with kitties. They do look pretty keen to make ‘friends’. My friend Darryl had a love bird for many years named Jose (named after tequila). His bird used to sit on the brim of Darryl’s hat and they’d visit neighbours, when he got tired of visiting, he’d just snooze in darryl’s shirt pocket. He had a real personality.
Ah, Perry was enjoying herself far too much to take any notice of the silly cats 😉 Love the thought of Jose going visiting with Darryl!
Oh, that’s a beautiful bird!
Isn’t she gorgeous and a great performer too!

A lot moving going on this month, more than usual?
We are rather busy this month. We avoid travelling to the hottest places in the hottest months so this is almost the cut-off point for Cyprus and Greece. Tends to mean our trips get bunched up before and after August for the rest of Europe too.
The bird is simply gorgeous (as are the other more usual passengers!)
Sounds like we do the same routine of avoiding travel as much as possible during the hot months. But I suppose we can both use the rest.
Perry is gorgeous and it’s always fun travelling with chatty birds! Yes, it’s good to know the times when travel is off the cards. We avoid the colder months too as snow and sub-zero temps aren’t great for us either 😉
