Meanwhile, back at the dog and cat show....................
One thing not yet pointed out is that most animals do NOT like being put into a carrier cage for the first (second and third) time.
They need to be "socialised" into the concept.
For the Bali Bogan families who think that they can just stick their schnauzer (leave it alone, it's already in the jokes thread) into a crate and it'll sit quietly under the seat then they need to have another think.
