Loving my Oldies Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 The vet nurse said it would cost $10 - $20 in a taxi from Central Railway Stn. Taxi drivers might refuse the fare because there's a wee dog involved. Often they would be concerned of damage and down time. Anyone ever tried to get a taxi in Sydney with a dog tucked under your arm? You've buckley's. Doesn't matter if the dog is a 2kg tiny and the taxi drivers look as though they haven't bathed or shaved for a week and the taxi cab is a health hazard on wheels. Ooooohhh nooooooo!!! A filthy dog? No way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cazstaff Posted April 12, 2014 Author Share Posted April 12, 2014 (edited) Thankyou everyone for your offers of help and information. Little Minnie had all her vet work done yesterday and came through beautifully thanks to DABS :) Andrea contacted me very soon after I posted about Minnie and said this is something Norma would want to do so lets do it! Tania was so grateful of the help for her best mate. The staff at the vet commented on what a beautiful happy social little dog she was and they had all fallen for her. PS: We did Taxi's from Central to the vet at Randwick and back (and then again to pick her up) and even though a couple of taxi's refused us we were able to get drivers who were happy to take us :) So cheers to the dog friendly cabbies Edited April 12, 2014 by Cazstaff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cazstaff & Andrea And yes, there are taxi drivers who carry dogs - we actually prefer them to kids, they are generally better behaved :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Katdogs Posted April 12, 2014 Share Posted April 12, 2014 Hey some of us have Norma looking over our shoulder all the time - which is why I'm honest in putting up a house ful sign! Strongest biggest most amazing woman I've ever met. I hope to be as strong and bolshy as her soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LouiseBrooks Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 Thanks guys this has made my day. Norma would be so happy to know she is still helping rescues. Nice to know there are still wonderful taxi drivers around in Sydney. May little Minnie and her owner soon have an opportunity to leave the streets.
