Sorry puppy, your mom screwed up. Please forgive me. Last year when we were planning all this moving stuff I looked into importing our dog, and of course it said all this great stuff that I new I wouldn't have to worry about until later, and I called the vet who said she was due for her rabies vaccine around the beginning of the year. So... I somehow just put it off in my head and thought, "I don't have to worry about that that yet". Well, the vet never called to remind me and I was so busy with other things, that I forgot. I looked up the requirements again last week and long story short... she has to stay for another 3 months after we leave until she has a blood test. I told Dom that he better start checking all these things that I have looked into, because who knows what else I have screwed up. Maya will be shipped to my parents in Idaho (I told you I have the best parents right?) and stay with them and their awesome dog. Maya will most likely never want to leave, and in the long run I think it might work out better for us not having to worry about her in the initial settling in. My mom was so quick to say yes (love her!), but said "I'm not doing any of that raw diet crap." Hahaa, no problem.

Does she have to enter quarantine here in Norway, as well? I hope not. I met a British lady the other day who had two Poms that she had brought with her from the U.S. I don't know if I could be seperated from my Max for three months, I'll be gone for six weeks starting end of April, and I know I'll miss him like crazy!
Thankfully no quarantine, that's why the long wait. She has to have a blood test 4 months after her rabies shot to prove she doesn't have it or something. I will miss her alot... she is my daily buddy. :(
Hey Leah! I just found your blog from my friend Elizabeth's blog. Not sure if it will make you feel any more hopeful, but I brought my dog from Bellingham to Stavanger just last summer. It went pretty well. Happy to lend you some advice if you need it!
