HI! I have decided to move back to Russia and was wondering if anybody has travelled with their pets such long distances. I went to Moscow last months and the first flight to Qatar was 15 hrs, then 7 hrs stop over, then another 5 hrs to Moscow.. But after I did some research I found that there is a better, much more expensive flight as well, but has 2 stops, therefore less time on the plane and also short breaks in between.. I'm thinking maybe the second option would be better, but anyway, has anyone travelled with their pets on flights with stop overs and long flights? what are your thought? Should I sedate my baby girl, will there be someone feeding and looking after her at the stop over airport, etc... any info will be much appreciated! By the way, my Boo is a small yorkie, 11 months old, and I'm planning on leaving Aus in February next year thank you!

Thanks everyone for your advices! I think I will try to tape Masha's ears. Especially because her mum and dad's ears are up, so that must be a good sign. Thanks again!

Hi, my name is Natasha and I have an adorable 4 month old Yorkie puppy Masha, she is healthy and very playful but I have a question about her ears. I will love her ears up or down, but I prefer the look of erect ears... So as I've read on quite a few websites, usually, the ears start to stand up around 2 months, then they drop when the puppy starts teething, which is absolutely normal, but what worries me is her ears never stood up even a little bit, and now I'm pretty sure she has started teething since she is chewing up on everything so i don't know if I should try to tape the ears now (I've tried and she hates it!!), or wait till she stops teething (around 8 months as I've read), but then if I wait what if it will be too late to tape them... I'm a bit confused... So please share your opinion with me on this subject as I would really appreciate any advice I can get! Thank you in advance! And here is a picture of what she looks like at the moment!
