Old Dogs Making Moves

I have an English Springer Spaniel (Magic) *, b. 2007, and an American Cocker Spaniel (Pwcca), b. 2005. Both are in good health, unless vet says otherwise at their vx and annual checkup Tuesday, but they're not getting any younger. I worry about how to move them across the country.

Here's some pictures of Their Majesties,

Magic

Pwcca

From my initial look, it seems I have these options: (1) fly them across the country, (2) drive them across the country, (3) pay someone to drive them across the country, (4) pay someone to drive them and my car across the country. They all have pros and cons. I wish there were a 5th option: Riding with dogs on trains across the country. Maybe there'll be something like that in the future. For now, this page is where I'll collect links about those options and maybe others.

* Magic will actually be coming home, when we move to SC. He was given to me by one of my SC cousins, who breeds and raises English Springer Spaniels. She said, "All my dogs are magic." So, of course, he's Magic.
