My friends waiting down under do not understand it.. And I was really mad about that, still am. They think I am throwing my future, but they "just don't understand". I would do this for any dog I own. She is my family. She will go with me, or I will stay with her. Period. |
*I* understand! My (former) husband was in the military, and we moved from Arizona to Germany. And I insisted the dog (a German Shepherd ... *big* dog!) go with us. While we were there, we were adopted by a stray cat ... and he came back to the States with us, too.
I could not have taught the kids the value of life if our pets - members of our family! - became "disposable".
Start checking NOW about what it will take to import a dog into Australia. Don't wait until the last minute to do your homework .. do it now while you have a chance to comply.
