I know that when you have to leave your fur babies at home to travel the world, a tear runs slowly down your cheek, Johnny Depp in \u201cCry-Baby\u201d style. You love Mittens more than any of your nieces and nephews (if you\u2019re being honest with yourself), so you try to bring her along on your journeys as often as possible. Sure, sometimes that involves smuggling her through the back door of a 4-star hotel, but I’m\u00a0not about to narc you out.<\/p>\n

Well, guess what? You\u2019re not alone. I\u00a0know lots of folks who consider their pets in transit the best thing since the cronut. Whether you\u2019re catching a flight across the country, or road tripping it to grandma\u2019s house a few hours away, traveling with your pet really is a bonding experience. Maybe Fido will sleep peacefully in his under-seat carrier the entire flight, or maybe you\u2019ll have to softly cradle him in the plane\u2019s back galley while you sing \u201cBaby Mine.\u201d Either way, once you arrive at your destination, you get to explore new territory with your best animal pal.<\/p>\n

Send in Those Glamour Shots!<\/strong><\/h2>\n

What\u2019s better than traveling with your pets? Capturing it all on film, of course. I\u00a0know you love to snap cute pet photos with the best of them. And our team here at Flights.com\u00a0wants to give your tabby a chance to smile with her eyes, Tyra style, in front of the world! We’re\u00a0looking for images of Persians helping you pack, and pugs mugging in front of landmarks. If you\u2019ve got cute pictures of pets either traveling or at fun destinations, we\u00a0want \u2018em! Each month we\u2019ll be posting a round-up of our favorite \u201cpets in transit\u201d pics, so your hairy other half could be famous.<\/p>\n

I don\u2019t always lay on your new black shirt, but when I do, you\u2019re trying to pack for a flight and can\u2019t find your lint roller.<\/p><\/div>\n

Ummmmmm. Going somewhere? Rude.<\/p><\/div>\n

Looks like Gene Simmons, Miley Cyrus, and Albert Einstein have their tongues in position and are ready to hit the road.<\/p><\/div>\n
