| Traveling With Pets As Cargo vs. Baggage vs. Carry On and More! |
|
Personally, I would completely freak out knowing my dogs were in crates in the Cargo area of a plane, and I mean FREAK OUT!!!! We've all heard the horror stories, yet people continue to travel the world with their precious cargo stashed below in the belly of the plane with the rest of the "baggage".

Story and Photos by Gary Borland
"Barkus" is a Mardi Gras parade for the dogs complete with its own King and Queen that winds through the French Quarter of New Orleans. Every year the parade has a different theme that people use to dress themselves and their dogs to. Past themes have been "Tailtanic: Dogs and Children First", "Joan of Bark", "2001: A Dog Odyssey", "Saturday Bite Fever" and "Tail-House Rock" to name a few. Even with a designated theme, there are always the ever present die-hard Saints fans dressed up in the traditional black and gold colors of the home team.
