Courier Richard delivered a family of pets from Bahrain to their new home in Scotland. On the way back, he collected a new set of passengers who joined our trip to southern Europe with courier Paul.
Filbert, Lulwa, Nikki, Weasel and George
Parakeet Filbert flew in from Bahrain ahead of his housemates (a dog and three cats). All five pets are Bahrain rescues who live happily together.
Filbert homeboarded with Animalcouriers for a short while before heading off to be reunited with the rest of the family in Edinburgh.
Fine feathered fellow Filbert
There was so much excitement in the air when the pets were reunited with their family. Here’s Lulwa (whose name is an Arabic word for ‘pal’) enjoying welcoming tummy rubs.
Cuddles for cats
Joy all round
George was the last to emerge
Oscar
Terence and his wife are leaving Midlothian behind and retiring to the sunnier climes of Portugal. Precious Cocker Spaniel Oscar is the first member of the family to leave the UK. He’s been Terence’s constant companion, even accompanying him to work, so being separated is an entirely new experience for this lovable chap.
Oscar sitting very nicely for a treat before departure
Humble overnight accommodation — a Scottish castle that managed to make our biggest van look titchy!
Oscar so excited at being back with his family in Alvor Portimao
Charly
King Charles Cavalier Charly is a regular Animalcouriers client, and we’re delighted to transport him again for owners Marina and Anthony. He’s on his way from London to spend some time in Marbella in Spain.
Gorgeous Charly

Marshall
A late addition to our trip, Shar Pei Marshall is travelling from Newcastle to Javea, in Spain. Since owner Jimmy went on ahead, Marshall has been looked after by Simon, who drove to Carlisle to intercept our trip from Scotland and get Marshall on his way.
Splendid Marshall
Marshall delighted to see Jimmy again in Spain
Eddie
Another familiar face — we were pleased to welcome Labrador cross Eddie, who travelled with us to the UK last year. Now he, and owners Fabio and Cintia, are on their way back from Kent to Aveira in Portugal.
Lovely friendly Eddie
Eddie very happy to be reunited with Cintia and Fabio
Brian
Bearded dragon Brian belongs to Laurence, who’s relocated to Lisbon in Portugal. Laurence’s parents brought Brian to us to join the trip.
Brian reaches his new Portuguese home
I love seeing some familiar faces with a few of your more “frequent travelers”……..one thing is ALWAYS the same though – lots of happy faces all around both on the trip and when destinations are reached.
Hugs, Pam and Teddy too
We do seem to have more and more frequent travellers — it’s great greeting them each time!
oooh a shar pei, they are wonderful!!! and we love the sentence with the “f’s” for Filbert… but we hope the mama will not create a sentence with f…it would be different LOL
Ha ha, the Mama might be better not to!
I am squealing with delight at the sight of this van of happy travelers and at the Scottish castle accommodations!
We have castles in America but nothing as magnificent as this!!
Safe travels and have a lovely weekend!
Every now and then you get to stay in some of the most wonderful places. Usually out of season.
It’s lovely to see the happy faces when reunited with their families.
Not a bad sight!
Lucky to be loved so much.
Aren’t they just.
Happy to see your charming travelers, though I might have to find another word for Brian, but I’d guess he’s quiet! 😀
No doubt about it, Brian was the quietest traveller 😉
I remember when Shar-pei were the hottest breed around, eye problems and all! Now it has been years since I have seen one in person.
My friend had a desert-bred Saluki from Bahrain. I would love to go there sometime!
It is very interesting watching the change in popularity over the years. Hope you make it!
You taught me a new word today, AC: titchy. I had to look it up. Must be very English! 🙂 –Curt
