Today’s Research Results
I spent some time this morning doing a bit of research to figure out what we need to do to get the dogs and the kids into the UK.
- I knew it was going to be tough, but I didn’t realize that it takes SEVEN months to get a dog - even one with glowing health reports and ALWAYS current rabies vaccinations - into the UK. The process is so complicated that it took me probably four hours to figure out exactly what had to be done, how to get it done in the proper order, and the timetable in which (if everything goes well) it could realistically be accomplished. You’d think M & M were suspected terrorists.
- The US government requires that a minor applicant and BOTH parents appear at an approved location before a passport will be granted. If both parents can not appear, they require ANOTHER form completed and notarized for the parent that can’t be in attendance. You’d think we were trying to get a dog into Britain.
