God forgive me, I have two. In fact, I sell electronics for a living, so you're going to have lots of fun with that bag. Ouch. That used to be such an ordinary thing, having carry-on luggage of ANY type, and now it's all trouble. Good god, even a person's toothpaste is now potentially lethal. Argh.
What a frustrating experience, and I feel even worse for your poor dog, getting crushed and wounded for exactly the reasons you'd asked not to sit in the bulkhead. Poor guy.
I like your solution to the Airline Hag, though-- cooperate now, complain (persistently) later. You don't want to get thrown off of a plane for the stewardess' ignorance (as opposed to Alec Baldwin, who in my book deserved to be thrown off his plane).
Glad the return trip was better, though you'd probably hit the "critical mass" expiration on your patience by then.
