Courier Gwen made an end-of-year trip to seasonally snowy Scandinavia to meet three dogs and a cat travelling just in time for Christmas.
Ilona, a dog from Sweden to Spain
Gorgeous German Shepherd Dog Ilona belongs to Andreas and Andrea. Ilona joined us in Stockholm for her journey to Spain. Courier Gwen transported her as far as France, where courier Trevor took over for her onward journey to Barcelona.
Andreas gave Ilona a proper send-off in cold and snowy Stockholm

Phoenix and Mikkeller, a dog and cat from Denmark to England
In Copenhagen we met Irish Doodle Phoenix and Burmese cross Mikkeller — a delightful duo who travelled with us to London.
Emily and her husband were on hand to see their beloved pets away
Sweet Phoenix quickly settled in for the trip
Friendly Mikkeller proved to be an excellent traveller
Phoenix knows how to strike a pose! On the couch in our hotel room in France.
A rapturous welcome for Phoenix and Mikkeller from Emily’s parents in London
Odin, a dog from Denmark to Ireland
Handsome Yellow Labrador Odin also joined us in Denmark. We collected him from his family in Viborg. He travelled with courier Gwen to the Animalcouriers base in Surrey, England. Courier Ryan then made the onward journey with Odin to Cork.

Odin comfortable in our van. He’s quite a big boy so we made sure he had one of the larger bedrooms.

Season’s greetings from our travels
It seems like the right moment to wish our clients, friends and followers a very happy Christmas and all the best for the new year. Thank you for trusting us, following us, and generally keeping up with us — it’s been a pleasure and we look forward to more of the same in 2024.
Courier Gwen found time to take a few seasonal snaps during her journey home from Scandinavia. Enjoy!

Love this “Christmas Transport” post – glad everyone is settled in after their moves for the holidays! Thanks for sharing all the adventures Animal Couriers has had this past year – reuniting families and creating new ones. We love keeping up with your wonderful work and hope for a successful and happy New Year for ALL of you!
Hugs, Pam and Teddy
Thanks Pam & Teddy – we’ve had a blast this year. Lots of great passengers and lovely clients. Here’s to 2024 being super too. Hope you all have a fabulous festive season – your blogs have been a joy to follow 😀
It all looks wonderfully festive! And you have some late entries for the longest tongue contest! 😀
You know we hadn’t even noticed but Phoenix’s tongue is certainly reaching for the stars and Odin’s is dangling merrily 😀

Love it!
Safe travels and Merry Christmas
Thanks Jovina and a very Happy New Year to you.
A lovely lot of critters. Beautiful winter scenes.
Scandinavia never disappoints!
Wonderful! Made my day – thank you so much for posting all the pictures!!
The dogs make my heart sing – the cat makes me think of Carport Kitty.
Merry Christmas to you, your couriers, your passengers and all your family!
We love you from across the pond in South Carolina
Thanks Sheila. We all wish you, Pretty, your family and hounds (plus kitty hangers on) all the very best for 2024 – it looks like it won’t be dull…
Lovely travels and travelers. Wishing you all a wonderful festive season.
Delighted to see you can comment again! We all wish you the same.
Oh the wonderful travels you do. I know it’s not a holiday for your couriers, but still lovely to see the sights I imagine. I do love German Shepard’s so much as my brother had one for 14 years named Rambo. He was the goodess boy. But Odin has my heart too! That face, you just want to kiss it, LOL ! Merry Christmas to all the AC staff and guests.
Thanks so much. We hope your celebrations were as beautiful as your creations!

They are all cute, but I especially like Odin. Such a cute dog. We wish you a Merry Christmas!
