Default VIP....very important passenger

I'm on a three day trip and today (day2) I met my cutest passenger. A 10 week old Labrador retriever puppy named "Timmy". Timmy was traveling to spend time with a volunteer who would raise him until he could begin training as a seeing eye dog. I wish I had taken a picture but of course I had no batteries for my camera. I made sure I kept the air blowers on high and showed the care taker how to point them all towards Timmy. I took extra care to fly smooth because I was worried he may get sick. To my surprise he ended up falling asleep for the entire flight. The caretaker let me play with him for a few minutes before they were on their way. I realized this dog has a meaningful future ahead of him. I was impressed by how calm and well behaved Timmy was, bred well for a reason. I'm sure he will succeed in becoming a great seeing eye dog for somebody someday. I love doing what I do for a living. Just another day on the job!

A Beech Crew had Cameron Diaz on their flight the other day going from LGA-ALB.

If that REALLY made you go blind I'd need Timmy and a few of his friends too.

I am far from a young teenage boy, but thanks.
