Throw Money from the Plane, or: Bringing a Pet East o' the Border

Jul 13, 2009 20:35

Got too much money? Try bringing your pet overseas. Ask me how I did it. Well, actually, a friend and I. And an army of vets, gubmint officials, and taxi drivers, all now a bit richer.

To bring a cat to Germany from the U.S., first, you must obtain... a SHRUBBERY a microchip. This will run you $50. Oh yes, and if you would like to know what the REST ( Read more... )

cats, travel, berlin

LOL omg you're too funny!! Seriously you may have had a better time actually just bringing a shrubbery! No wonder you're so tired!!

Maybe you can look for a kitty translator for Cricket?

a shrubbery would have provided shade and a nice garden scent, for sure, as well as being a lot cheaper :D

oh yeah and if cricket can master "miau" she's in the chips... though i'm not sure what WOWL is in Deutsch...

Not sure who I feel more sorry for: Cricket or you. Makes our 14-hour journey from SF to Edinburgh with two wee ones sound like a cake walk (and no baby benadryl was used!). btw: one item to note about benadryl: although it makes most kids and pets pass out, it can actually make others a bit frenetic.

Happy you're safe and settled at home.

not sure why it says anonymous (I thought I signed in). The note is from your sister-in-law Denise :-)

figured! donno why LJ balked on ya :D

SF to Edinburgh is still a haul :)

and yeah, that's what the vet said too, but it was turning into WOWLtown, so i said hey.

anyway, i might actually feel normal again soon :P

it's worth doing,
cuz living overseas is an awesome experience,
but
i must say...
that it ain't easy,
and i continue to move over here in phases.

my dream is to flow back & forth btw nyc and berlin,
though i'd like to keep young cricket in one place,
in one piece :D

This was EXACTLY what I needed to read after a long day of doing stuff.

THANK YOU

And glad you got there alright!

my pleasure.
this is the up side of being a writer,
the um, shootier the shoot you go through,
the funnier the story on the other side.

it's just getting through all the meowing first, ya know?

thanks for the good wishes! hope everything going great for you :)
