Bartholomew Prince of Gustavia
Mr. B visited SBH at least once a year for his entire life. I think we first took him when he was 9 month old? He was an excellent traveler and was fluent in french. He left the planet at age 16 after a long struggle with the effects of an enlarged heart. I loved that little shitbird so much and I miss him every day.
St Barthelemy is a very pet friendly island. The only requirements are a health certificate and, depending on who you talk to, a micro chip. Small dogs are easy. They can sit in the cabin under the seat and they are always welcome on St Barts Commuter or WinAir.
Dogs are also allowed in the restaurants in St Barthelemy. This is a bonus for Bart, since he hates being left home at night.
 The Best BoyThis was BartyBoy's last trip to St Barth. He was struggling a little even then, had to get some intravenous fluids for a day. We couldn't get the tape off his leg. I kinda knew it was our last trip together. He was a good boy. |  IncognitoBartholomew is a world famous artist. So sometimes we had to wear disguises when we walk the beach. |  Frequent FlierBartholomew used to sit under the blanket next to me. Used to get him stoned on Benadryl.....slept all the way down in his bag under the seat. |

Many moons ago. |  Les Ilets November 2008Two Dogs hangin out |  Gustavia 2001One of Bartholomew's earliest visits to SBH. He was tall and skinny. I think this was the year that he drank too much sea water and almost died. He sticks to wine now. |
