With all our passengers from Portugal on board, Animalcouriers crossed the border into Spain and headed to Madrid. We met up with Aurelia to collect a very happy and bouncy young Felipe. Felipe travelled with us last month to spend Christmas in Madrid with all the family. His owners, Sergio and Barbara, are already back in London and are anxiously awaiting his arrival. Aurelia tells us everyone had a lovely festive time, and Felipe clearly agrees.
From Madrid we headed to Tarragona to collect Chihuahua Lugotti, who’s relocating with his owners to Middlesex in the UK. Both his dads and their friend came to see him safely on his way.
We then drove up the coast to Barcelona to meet Katy and her cats Pere and Vella. Katy and her husband are both artists who split their time between Spain and Sussex for work reasons. Katy and the cats are now off for an extended stay in Sussex so that all the family can be together for a while.
It was then just another hour or so to Blanes to collect German Shepherd Dog Thor. His owner David is already in Southampton, and ‘granddad’ Rafa has been taking care of Thor in the meantime. David tells us he’s very much looking forward to being reunited with his dog.
What lovely sweeties…Vella looks like our Marbles also a senior kitty ) Thr was sure keen to go somewhere hahaah and bless little Lugotti looked like he was ready to just get on with it all 🙂 loves and safe travels Fozziemum xxx
Hope Marbles is doing well – it’s a gorgeous marking. Yes, Rafa did have to be a little insistent 😉
Hahah thanks sweets Marbles is doing just fine 😉 xx
the ears of Blue are priceless, the right one says HELLO!, right?
Aren’t they just wonderful! Yes, we’re pretty sure it is hello he’s saying to everyone 😉
Thanks for keeping so many of our four-footed friends safe for their human families. Hugs! 😀
It is our pleasure and most certainly our responsibility!
Blue: one ear up and one ear down. He looks like he is ready to meet his obligations, or anything else that comes along. 🙂 –Curt
Blue is pretty much up for everything!
you do such a great job!,xx
Thanks Speedy!
Vella looks like my friend’s old (now departed) kitty Kahlua, who lived past 20. All beautiful passengers.
Here’s to Vella going on strong for that long.
A van full of cuteness, handsomeness, and prettiness. Safe travels.
Yes, a rather lovely crowd.
Nice travels through Spain.
No complaints from anyone.
safe travels furry ones
Thanks guys
Blue is quite the personality
Incredibly so considering his size.
Thor the GSD is so handsome and little Blue is quite a personality. I see that he got lots of comments.
Blue certainly has huge personality for such a small bundle.
Lugotti looks like Rex, the chihuahua of a friend of mine, but rex has no teeth so his tongue is always out.
How did Rex lose all his teeth? Hope he didn’t chew stones.
Poor diet and oral hygiene, my friend was serving in Irak, he left Rex with someone he trusted, when he got Rex back, it was Rex minus the teeth.
That is a sad story.
You do get such lovelies for these journeys. Blue looks like he has everything and everyone under control.
Blue most certainly like to keep an eye on everything.
You’ve given me such a happy start to my day across the Pond from you! The pictures of all of your travelers and their people are wonderful – thank you for sharing the joy!
So glad to have kick started to day off well for you!
They are as sweet as they look 😀
Aww Thor is a handsome devil!! he reminds me of my deraly departed Barlow!… Such a van full of cute for you all again!! Yay
Hugs, Carrie & Pups x
Barlow must have been a gorgeous chap!
Hi.. I thought that this post was appropriate since I live in Madrid to let you know that I have nominated you for the Very Inspiring Blogger award. You inspire because of your respect and treatment of the animals that come into your care for however short a time and on behalf of the many, many owners who have reason to be graterul for your professional and loving attention you give their beloved pets. I know that you must be extremely busy and may not be able to accept but I hope that it is the thought that counts! https://smorgasbordinvitation.wordpress.com/2015/01/16/the-very-inspiring-blogger-award-and-the-nominees-are/
Really touched by your nomination – thank you so much.
