After spending the night near Narbonne, Animalcouriers crossed the border into Spain where our first stop was to deliver gorgeous ginger tabby cat Baby in Barcelona. Then it was on to Madrid to reunite chatty grey cat Byron and Basset Hound Pluto with their respective owners.
In Arroyo de la Miel, we reunited Clare with her beloved black-and-white cat Mr Bojangles.
On the Mijas Costa, there was much excitement and dashing about when we delivered Westies PJ and Belle to their family. Grandma Ann, who’d seen them off in Aberdeenshire, was on hand to complete the circle.
There was the usual exuberant reunion between Matt and Arfa. We’re never quite sure who is more excited — man or dog! Arfa had a terrible start in life, and it’s amazing to see the bond between him and his devoted family.
And on the Spanish side of the border with Gibraltar, we handed long-haired black-and-white puss Poppy to Vic and Andy. Vic is a dental nurse in the navy and, when the couple moved to Gibraltar, they left Poppy with friends in Plymouth, thinking she wouldn’t welcome the move. But clever Poppy made it her business not to settle down, so Vic and Andy had no choice about arranging for her to move and join them.

After an initial dash about, we managed to get everyone into the photo when PJ and Belle were reunited with their family. The sunny skies are somewhat different from their departure point in Aberdeenshire!

Apparently, no modern Spanish wedding is complete without a balloon bride
A novel interpretation of a treehouse!
Just love the name Pluto full of warm happy childhood memories
Reblogged this on Smorgasbord – Variety is the spice of life and commented:
If ever you are concerned about bringing your pets back and forth from Europe then you might take a look at Animal Couriers. As you can see from this post it is more a guided tour than pet transport.
that’s really a post for a sunday… so much happy faces… and there is good weather too, right?
So many happy faces. You’re right. It’s hard to tell who is more excited the pets or their owners. Warms my heart. <3
Nice to see that Poppy has a say in matters! 😉
Lovely to see all the happy reunions – but the balloon bride and tree house take the cake in today’s post!!
Your blog always brightens my day.
Oh my goodness… Put me back into the freezer. Belle just made me melt!
Aww look at all the happy reunions! Too cute. Thanks for sharing.
I really enjoy seeing the smiling faces when families are reunited.
Some lovely travellers as usual!
Reunions make me cry… ☺
Balloon bride?!! Amazing the things you all see!
