Pets get some relief at PHL

What a relief ! PHL announced today that it's opened seven specially designed "Pet Ports" where travelers with pets or assistance animals can give the poor beasts a place to relieve themselves. The areas are along the departures road and outside baggage claim buildings. Here's the airport's announcement but pay no attention to the headline on the news release (at least as of Friday PM) -- Mayor Nutter isn't giving a special welcome to dogs relieving themselves, although I'm sure he's glad they are. Use the link and you'll see what I mean.
