Well, after flapping for nearly six months about this journey to GB, Humphrey has amazed me! The vet gave us a mild dose of valium to calm him for the long drive and the ferry and he's been a little star! We put a thick blanket underneath his travel box, which raised it up a bit and also helped stop any vibrations I think, and he never made a squeak over the the 8 hour journey. We stayed in a hotel in Folkestone and he was as good as gold, staying really quiet in his box in the room while we popped down for breakfast. Since then he's had the time of his life, (met his first cocker ever since leaving his mummy), he's been on the beach, learned to swim on Cannock Chase, chased rabbits in Sutton Park and been spoilt rotten by the family! The biggest breakthrough has been that he's not cried at all in the car since, so looks like we've finally hacked it!!
