I'm looking for advice from anyone who has moved to another country with their furbabies...
I have always always ALWAYS wanted to travel. I have always put it off due to some guy I happen to be dating, or school, or anything else that comes up. Well, I've finished college and I'm not married and I don't have kids so I think this is my time. I've been doing a lot of research into moving to Australia. The job market is great and people with my education and experience are in high demand, plus I hate cold!
...But I could never ever go without Layla. I'm only planning on being there for a year, and my parents would definitely take her in, but I couldn't go that long without my baby. I've looked into what is needed to take her with me and it would cost me about $800 for a vet check and 30 day quarantine when I first get there, which is no problem money-wise but OH MY GOSH my baby would be so scared in quarantine!!! I have no idea what quarantine facilities are like, and what the rules are... would I be able to visit her? How would she be treated?
I'm not planning on applying for jobs until before Christmas (because I don't want to leave before Christmas) and I'm not applying for a visa unless I have feedback from possible employers, so there's a chance I won't even go. But I thought I'd do my research now in case I should put the idea out of my head completely. Has anyone else been in this situation?
