Couriers J and Marc left the UK with delightful cats, dogs and rabbits on board, heading for sunnier climes. Courier Joe flew in to Carcassone to join the trip, so that courier J could spend some time with our database designer updating some of our back-office systems.
Rupis
Rupis, a handsome Bernese Mountain Dog, travelled with us from Wembley. Sadly, his owner isn’t quite well enough to look after him any more; fortunately, he has a new home with her granddaughter, Sabrina, and family, near Toulouse.

Rupis clearly knows Sabrina well, and there was lots affection between them

Sabrina also has a dog called Udon. When he and Rupis touched noses there was plenty of tail-wagging, in anticipation of lots of fun ahead for these two young dogs.
Benny
Cute Westie Benny has temporarily relocated with his family from Leeds to the Hautes-Pyrénées. Daughter Kate is living there, and the family are keen to enjoy some time together in France.

Archie and Isabelle
These gorgeous Bengal cross cats travelled with us from Irchester to Torre de la Horadada. Teresa and family went on ahead and were very much looking forward to welcoming their cats.

Isabelle’s turn to pose for the camera!

Big hello hugs for Isabelle
Mabel and Thumper
Mabel is a Dogue de Bordeaux, and Thumper a Springer Spaniel. This intrepid duo are relocating with Fiona from Cambridge. We collected the dogs the day before Fiona’s wedding; despite all the preparations, Fiona was on hand to see her beloved dogs on their way. They are staying at the Five Bone Hotel in Turre until Fiona catches up with them.

Amelia’s rabbits
Amelia has relocated to Granada, and we had the pleasure of transporting her cuddly rabbits. We set them up with a camp in one of the bedrooms in our van and they quickly settled for the journey.

One furry bundle

Lots of fresh greenery to nibble

Ozzy and Shanti
These gorgeous, friendly cats moved with us from Somerset, where they were in the care of Ana, to the Coimbra area of Spain, to rejoin Ana’s mother.

When we called in to collect Shanti (L) and one-eyed Ozzy, they clearly knew something was up. We found them hiding under the kitchen table!

Clearly inseparable, they squished up in the cat basket together, despite their spacious bedroom in our van
that are super passengers… like the passenger of Iggy Pop’s song :O) Enjoy Toulouse Rupis, it’s a nice town… btw: the cousin of the mama has a bernese mountain dog too… we laughed a little while we saw Rupis as we remembered how the dog of the cousin wrecked her old vw polo, as he jumped in the cargo area :o) she has a very ugly roomster now, but it’s perfect for the dog, that’s what counts LOL
Ha ha, you’ve given us an ear worm but we do love that song 😀 One of our cats is called Iggy Pop — when he turned up he was so skinny we thought that if we fed him he might pop.
It’s all about making our pets comfortable 😉
Isabelle is such a model and how she lightened up at the reunion…MOL 😀 We’re glad to see that Sabrina took care of Rupis. It must be hard for his purrson to let go of him, but now she still can see him. Pawkisses for a Happy Weekend 🙂 <3
Isabelle certainly models her collar with panache! It’s great to see Rupis settled and with such a lovely playmate. A very difficult decision to make but, as you say, she’s still in the family 🙂
Beautiful animals
Aren’t they just.
Beautiful passengers, as always. Glad Rupis found a home with family and has a new friend, too. Loved that photo of Ozzy and Shanti in the carrier together! 🙂
Rupis has been very lucky indeed. Ozzy and Shanti were very bonded travellers — it’s a great shot!
