Congrats on your new babe

Thanks - we are just in the throes of revising the layout of our den. Phew but I did get a hardwood floor cleaner (I actually thought I was buying a steamer as well but :rolleyes: such is moi when I go shopping! But the products you use are pet safe.

I am looking to put down some cheap area rugs and a hallway runner for our lower level so the pup has non slip surfaces.

We found a couple of small crates - so I should be able to get in my single air mattress in the den. Fingers are crossed xx.

Anyhoo back to work:)

She is on her way!
 

She arrived safe to Frankfurt and is winging her way to me as I type this.

I hope everything goes well at the airport! I have heard that they have cancelled some flights due to their fuel supply lines freezing - many travellers are stranded at the airport:mad::mad::thumbdown

I will call the Cargo warehouse to see what they have to say after 1pm today.

Wish us luck - and that they do not divert this flight to another arrival airport!

In the quiet moments of what are always chaotic days at work, I thought of you and your beautiful new pup. May she bring you new hopes and dreams, laughter, love, and much health and happiness. I can't wait to watch your new gal grow up. With your love and devotion, she will have a wonderful life.

I hope your gorgeous new little girl has arrived safely and that you have arrived home safe, sound, and warm. I also hope your boys love their new sister and that your visiting little one is not jealous of the new female who has arrived on your doorstep.

I can't wait to see updated photos and lots of new videos of your pack!

Is she home yet? Hoping for a safe trip! Congratulations!

Thanks Kathy and Lisa. Yes she is home. :D:D We took pics and some vids last night, but I am too exhausted to try to upload them. She has a very good set of lungs on her, as I found out last night! THe stinker had me up 4 times in the night, and out we went for a pee or a poo, neither of which the lass would do, but she has hit her weepad at least 3 times out of a dozen or so times..... And so far she is a good eater:)

The gang has met her and predicatably the males are showing that they don't care for puppies, our guest Rica is very interested in her though.

We have a snafu that is quite serious - and I hope to get it resolved by the wkend. Somehow she and her paperwork got parted along the way to Canada. I can't reach the breeder as she is travelling in Germany I believe, and she has not responded to emails. Technically the vet on call should not have let her into Canada - the only option was to send her back! Then he relented, maybe because I looked like I was going to faint, and he relented because I think that we just both said but the puppy going back such a long journey?
So you can imagine what my stomach feels like right now!

My friend in Riga is going to try to call her and at least leave a message on her phone. A detailed in Russian message!

So .........

OMG! Hope it all gets sorted quickly! Can't wait to see some pics!

Wow! I am so excited for you!!! Will check back in for pictures! Can't wait!

Yeah she is home. I hope you get that papers worked out. I am glad they did not send her back

I feel so bad that the paperwork issue dampened your excitement upon meeting your new family member. I'm so relieved that the vet had the compassion to allow her to stay. You are beginning an adventure with your new gal. I can imagine you advocating for her last night; it's who you are, and it's what I know you'll do for anyone you've grown to care about. Those of us like me whose life has touched yours are truly very fortunate.

Gail, congratulations! I am very happy for you that your baby is finally here! Looking forward to your pictures and videos.

Lisa said it best, what a relief that the vet had the compassion to let your puppy through without papers. I would have fainted twice in your position.

I can imagine how thrilled you are that you finally have your girl. Enjoy!

Thanks everyone. I think we have everything sorted, I just need to supply the shot record when I take her for them Wednesday. Hopefully that is all that needs to happen.

For Breeders who are exporting dogs to Canada, for show,exhibition, breeding, brokers et al, here is the link to the appropriate information:

Importing or Travelling with Domestic Dogs for Commercial Purposes - Animals - Canadian Food Inspection Agency

Your purchaser will need to apply for an import permit, by the time we left the airport with Dara, all totalled it was about $468 we paid out between inspection fees and custom duties. And DOGS must HAVE DHPP first set of shots and be eight weeks old.

I loved seeing Dara and Razzle together. You have two beautiful bundles of energy and, of course, your magnificent Magic. It brings great joy to my heart to hear you so happy, and I am breathing a sigh of relief that things have worked out now with bringing Dara to her wonderful new home.
