16 Maine Coon cats and their canine chum are relocating to Crete

Emma and Warren along with their 16 Maine Coon cats and their canine chum are relocating to Crete from Hampshire.

All the way to Greece with Cookie

Little dog Cookie travelled in style to Greece as our only passenger!  We crossed the Channel to Calais and decided to stop overnight a little way away, as the Jungle clearance was in full swing.
