Thank You 🙂,

I should admit, he is the reason we are going out so often and enjoying the weekend mornings.
He has definitely taken out the laziness and our want to stay longer in the bed on off days.
Getting to see and explore new locations.

Hello All.

Earlier i had a query regarding train travel with a pet. We successfully completed a hassle free travel from Ahmedabad to Bangalore on 10th of July 2018. For those who plan to travel with a pet by train, the following info might be helpful.

1. Book confirmed tickets in first AC either 2 or 4 nos. In case you are travelling alone with your pet, I would suggest booking 2 tickets as there are chances of you being alloted a 2 berth coupe.

2. In first AC, berth allocation is done only 1 day prior to start of journey of the train from source. Write a request letter to the Asst Commercial Manager, Passenger reservations of your zone and hand it over in person. Most likely your request for a coupe would be met since you are travelling with a pet. In my case, the ACM called the EQ cell immediately and asked for a coupe to be blocked from Ahmedabad.

3. Wait for the SMS confirmation after chart preparation, which is 4 hours before scheduled departure of the train from boarding station. In most cases A,B,F are 4 berth cabins whereas C,D,E are 2 berth coupes (This is the case with full first class configuration, some trains have half first AC and half Second/third AC in which case the number of coupes and cabins will be less and even difficult to get). It is advised to look for full first class trains by searching on the train number. Usually H1 represents full first class, HA1 and HB1 represent half first class configuration).

4. One day prior to the date of travel, get a fitness certificate from the vet stating your dog is fit to travel and has all vaccination records updated. This is required for booking the dog as luggage and carrying him/her along with you in the compartment.
In my case, I was not aware of this and was not issued a luggage receipt. I took a chance and boarded the train as i had been alloted a 2 berth coupe. The plan was to pay the fine in case the TTE asks for luggage receipt, but none of the TTE's asked for anything.

5. Make sure you take your pet for a walk at stations where there is sufficient stoppage and also carry lot of tissues to clean up the coupe in case of accidents.

I personally do not like to take the train as it is time consuming and first AC fares are much higher than flight tickets. But there is no better way to travel with your pet along with you so we had no other choice.

Update: Athos, my beloved Dobie passed away on July 3, 2018. He would have completed 12 years in September. He died while he was still pretty active and didn't suffer much. He is missed by everyone at home.

Please accept our condolences, Aditya. We have been through this phase more than once and repeated experience does nothing to ease the heart-ache.

Aditya, very sorry for your sad loss.

Friday morning turned out to be interesting. I rescued this little puppy from the streets, he was almost crushed by speeding vehicles.

Would anyone like to adopt this little guy in Chennai? He seems healthy and active.

And before you ask, yes that's my car's floor mat, and yes that's a jopasu duster cover. I didn't have anything, I had to improvise. 😁

Here is the little fella.

Hello esoti..., long time no hear! Once again, hats off for rescuing the stray pup. As I've said before we have a full house aside from living about 1900 km away! Yes, the pup looks fine and I hope you find a home for it soon.
Regards,
Shashanka

Hi all, I have a Pettagu Supatag GPS tag for pets. It was not used as our child Cherry was killed by me.

The tag is free for anyone who wants to collect from Kolkata (Jodhpur Park or Newtown). The pettagu company seems to be defunct so it probably won't work unless someone can make the GPS device active.

Please try to post on FB group "Bombat Dawgz" it is an active community of Dog lovers and you might be just lucky if there is anyone who is willing to take the pup

How well a pet can coordinate and play along 🙂.
He picks things so quickly, there are always improvement areas which can be worked on gradually.
