jeeezzz...i know how u feel...in 2005 continental airlines told me it would cost $300 us to fly my adopted dog back to the states with me..when i arrived at goldson i was informed that it would cost 700 us...i didn't have a debit card anymore and they would not take my check for the difference...needless to say, i had to send her back to san pedro on tropic air...i was devastated...had her for 6 months, had all her shots and paperwork, had her spayed...fell in love with this dog...i was crying...none of the agents seemed to care...luckily my friend loved this dog too....so she ended up living a happy life on the lagoon...always gave me a good reason to come back to san pedro, to visit my dog! my advice is to get everything in writing!
