It's been raining here for several days. But you know I love the
stuff. We had a brutal July. Woulda thought it was August then.
Well, August has been easier because of all the rain. Still, glad I'm
not in FL.

I'm going inside books. I've read 8 thus far for this class. Retain
any of it? Who knows. But I've read 'em! :)

Iron Jerk sure seems to have taken over.

Speaking of dogs and travel - Hubby and I were discussing where we
would go if we had to for work. I would love to see England again
(not to mention Scotland, Wales, & Ireland) but I remembered a law
back in days of yore re: detaining incoming pets. Are those draconian
measures still in place? No way I could kennel Ming for even a day.
Wasn't it like six weeks of quarantine?

Ming wouldn't fit in a box. He tries to fit in my lap but...

<http://www.defra.gov.uk/animalh/quarantine/quarantine/qindex.htm> is
the Quarantine Homepage; the details are at

http://www.defra.gov.uk/animalh/quarantine/pets/index.htm

and factsheets are here:

Download, read and inwardly digest #1 #3 #4

The default is six MONTHS quarantine. (If you think all this is
complicated be thankful Ming isn't a ferret!) It looks to me that the
import of a dog from mainland USA to European Union without quarantine
IS possible; he would have to be vaccinated against rabies,
microchipped, de-flea'd etc.

Also there seem to be considerable restrictions on how the animal may
travel - certainly not by sitting on your lap! Probably in a special
dog-crate, that goes in the (pressurised!) hold, and arranged by an
approved company; maybe not on the same plane.

Also, there are requirements on travel between one country and the next,
and some look as if they take time especially for "non-resident dogs".
If you & Ming are planning a multi-country trip, I'd suggest sending the
schedule to the helpdesk mentioned on the above websites and asking if
it is in principle possible.
