Flying around Europe with your dog? SAVE THIS. O Flying around Europe with your dog? SAVE THIS. One of the first things I check before booking a flight with Roy is simple: Can he actually fly in the cabin with me? 🐾✈️ And this is where things can get confusing because airline pet policies are NOT the same. Some European airlines allow small dogs in the cabin, usually subject to a maximum weight of 8kg for the dog + carrier. KM Malta Airlines’ limit is 10kg. Others don’t accept pets in the cabin at all, while some have different rules depending on the aircraft, route or destination. So before you book that “perfect” flight… check the airline’s current pet policy first. ⚠️ Important: airline policies, weight limits, carrier dimensions and route restrictions can change. The information in this Reel is intended as a starting point - always verify the current requirements directly with the airline before booking. 🐩 I travel with Roy, so dog-first™ travel isn’t just something I research - it’s something I actually plan around. Which European airline have you successfully flown with your dog? 👇🏻 SAVE this Reel for your next European trip with your dog and SHARE it with a fellow dog mum planning a holiday. 🐾✈️ ———————- Hi we’re Ruth & Roy Sharing travel tips, art vibes & dog-first™ escapes @pupspaintandprosecco #dogtravel #dogfirst #dogmum dog travel Europe | flying with a dog | European airlines pets in cabin | dogs in cabin | pet friendly airlines Europe | travelling Europe with a dog | flying with your dog | dog friendly travel Europe | airline pet policies | travelling with pets | dog first travel

Some women leave behind a photograph. Some leave Some women leave behind a photograph. Some leave behind a feeling. And some leave behind words that, decades later, still find you exactly where you are. For this year’s illustration of Diana, I chose her in the dress that became the Revenge Dress — but I wanted to tell a slightly different story. Not revenge. Not Charles. Not even the headlines. Just Diana, standing in her own light. “I do as I’m expected, what they say behind my back is none of my business, but I come back here and I know, when I turn my light off at night, that I did my best.” Perhaps that is the part of Diana I wanted to remember today. 🤍 My new illustration is now available on Etsy, for anyone who would like to keep a little piece of Diana’s story on their own wall. And I’ve written a little more about the woman, the dress and the words behind this illustration on the blog. ✨ Link in bio. ———————- @pupspaintandprosecco Dog travel • Art • Lifestyle 🐾🎨🥂 Malta content creator | Princess Diana art | Lady Diana print | Revenge dress | Copic marker art | watercolour illustration | Maltese artist #LadyDiana #PrincessDiana #RevengeDress #DianaPrincessOfWales For this year’s illustration of Diana, I chose her in the dress that became the Revenge Dress — but I wanted to tell a slightly different story. “I do as I’m expected, what they say behind my back is none of my business, but I come back here and I know, when I turn my light off at night, that I did my best.” Perhaps that is the part of Diana I wanted to remember today. 🤍 I’ve written a little more about the woman, the dress and the words behind this illustration on the blog. ✨ Link in bio.

But what I love most is that a portion of the proceeds supports Willa B. Farms Animal Rescue, helping homeless, neglected and abandoned animals. 🐶❤️ And then there’s Billy the Kid, Dolly’s French Bulldog “god-dog”, who even inspired his own series of children’s books. Because, of course, Dolly would give a dog his own starring role. 😂🐾 So this little painting became my own Dolly-meets-dog moment — a celebration of big hair, big dreams, sparkles… and the very special place dogs have in our lives.
