Hi everyone! So sorry that I dissapeared for a long time...Caught up in puppy life and figuring out he balance. I think we've got it down pretty good now. 

Nugget has grown like a weed and is healthy, thank goodness! We've had him for 50 days thus far and he got his last shot today! Woohoo! Time to show this pup the world!

Literally! I'm going home to Chicago for the month of may to be a temp at my old job for a girl's maternity leave. I'm nervous yet excited. My boss is paying for the flight and Nugget gets to come to work with me which is amazing. Not sure if he'll like office life much though! Cargo is not an option for my little guy so its In Cabin or I'm not going! 

Today he is 11.2 pounds at 14 weeks old. The airline requirements are up to 20 pounds in a 19L x 13W x 9 inches high but collapsible ones that are slightly bigger can be accepted. Any thoughts or experiences? The vet said she would prescribe a tranq but I would only use if necessary. Any bag recommendations would be appreciated as well!

Here are a few that I'm looking at.

I checked his crate today and it is 18 x 12 at the moment. We have about 6 weeks to go until we leave and we need to make the return trip home as well! He will be 5months old when we leave and 6 months old when we come back. 

Missed you guys! Add me on facebook if you want current updates on my Nugget!
