Courier Richard set out from the UK with dogs and rabbits on board, heading for various destinations in Germany and Sweden. On the way back, he travelled with dogs and cats relocating to the UK, and lovebirds moving to Belgium.
Momo
Handsome Momo travelled with us from Warwickshire to rejoin owner Maria in Solvesborg, Sweden. At the age of 14, he’s a senior fellow, but still has a spring in his step.
A delayed Channel crossing meant that the dogs got an extra walk at Dover — here’s Momo enjoying himself
Peeka and Chansey
Lionhead rabbit Peeka is travelling with Lionhead-Angora mix Chansey from Wiltshire to Stockholm in Sweden. Such a loveable pair, clearly used to be handled and petted. Both have great appetites and enjoy almost full-time munching.

Nacho
Nacho is a Pomsky — a Pomeranian-Husky mix. He’s travelling from Hertfordshire to Hans and Marlene in Sweden. Nacho loves his walks, and is always super keen to investigate the next interesting scent.
Foxy Nacho has a very regal bearing
Kiba
Dalmatian Kiba is very strong but, fortunately, very well trained. A single command of ‘sit’ is immediately obeyed. He’s on his way from Hampshire to owner Robin in Sweden.

The mood on board the ferry was decidedly festive — and the jazz kept some of the passengers dancing all the way to Calais
From France to Sweden for reunions
From Calais courier Richard headed to Bremen in Germany for the night. The next morning, he boarded the ferry from Puttgarden (near Hamburg in northern Germany) to Rodby (in Denmark). To get to Sweden he drove across the Oresund bridge, arriving in good time to deliver Momo to Maria. The next day, there were more reunions to enjoy.

Kiba and Robin delighted to be back together again — Robin said she’d forgotten quite how big Kiba is!
Findus and Snovit
Following a night in Nordby, it was time to scoop up cats Findus and Snovit, who belong to Andreas and Lauren, and are relocating to Wales. Andreas explained that both cats are rescues — with their lovely looks and temperaments, they’re a great advertisement for rescue cats.
Beautiful Snovit (whose name says it all)

Ollie and Beau
Courier Richard stopped off in Asarum to collect Collie-Lurcher cross Ollie and Collie-Lab mix Beau. This dynamic duo belong to Rebecca and Joshua, who are relocating back to Sussex.

Cip and Cop
After a night in the Malmo area, courier Richard made his way to Copenhagen to collect a delightful pair of lovebirds, Cip and Cop (pronounced Chip and Chop), who belong to Marisa.

Albert
Stunning Albert is a Groodle — a cross between a Golden Retriever and a Poodle. He belongs to Linda, and is travelling with us from Denmark to London.

Heading back to the UK via Belgium
With all passengers on board, it was time to hop on the ferry from Rodby back to Puttgarden. Courier Richard then made his way to Calais via Belgium, where he stopped off to deliver the lovebirds to owner Marisa’s sister and their aunt in Maasmechelen. These lovely ladies will take care of Marisa’s beloved birds until she completes her own move to Belgium.
A hearty breakfast enjoyed along the way
Cip and Cop safely delivered — courier Richard will miss these chirpy little characters
Great set of photos.
Courier Richard had lots of fun capturing his trip.
All such good looking travelers.
Great variety too.
I saw the cattle and thought you were shipping them too. ; ) As always, happy pets and owners.
We’d have had to ask them to clean their feet first 😀
OMG – these PICTURES!!!
I love each and every one of your pictures – they make me smile whenever I see them…
And who knew ferry rides could be such fun??
Thank you, thank you, thank you for sharing the love.
We’re delighted that you love the photos and love sharing the stories!
your passengers are great! I like the pomsky, that’s a cute name for a cute pup ;o) and I was surprised that there is so much fun on a ferry…. maybe the mama will change her minds now… she can wear the special p-bag like a necklace while dancing, that should work ;O)))
If you decide to try the ferry, please do let us know and we’ll join you on the dace floor!
That’s a lot of variety this time. Those rabbits are cute!
We love the variety, never a boring moment. Very floofy!
WOW – that’s a whole lot of trips with a whole lot of gorgeous and happy pets coming from or returning to their owners. Love how everyone is smiling – including the animals!
Pam and Teddy too
We are very busy but enjoying the variety at the moment. Does bring out the best of smiles!
Good thing the rabbits have noses. Otherwise it might be difficult to tell which end is which. 🙂 What a cooperative dog Albert is when it comes to taking photos! Or was that a dodge treat photo? (Laughing) –Curt
We’d thought that too! Nope, for once this fellow did truly want his photo taken 😀
Thank you so much Richard!!! I jusy saw the pictures, the birds arrived very well and it was nice to receive text messages from Richard during the trip. I certainly recommend animalcouriers!!!
Delighted to hear the birds are well settled — Richard certainly enjoyed his travels with Cip and Cop!
