Re: doggy passed his blood test, horray
I feel so alive again now - we are sorting a house out at the minute so I'll keep you posted as to how we go. Life is great being a mum/taxi service again and I've swapped the St Johns Wort pills for Cadbury's cream eggs too
The only thing that I could say I miss about Australia when asked is the sunshine but to be honest I haven't had time to think about it - too busy having fun with my girls, chatting to neighbours, catching up with friends and generally living again. Hope all is going well with you

Re: doggy passed his blood test, horray
Hi there - hope it's going ok for you. Yes the vet told us 6 months but Jetpets said not - not sure if they were trying it on with us or what but they charged us extra for keeping them in kennels in Melbourne (they arranged it all) for the extra week 
Jetpets were excellent though - they collected them from our house in Oz and delivered them to our doorstep in UK. After they had arrived at Heathrow, they telephoned us to say everything was fine and they were on their way up the motorway and would be with us at around 1:15. Sure enough at exactly 1:15 they arrived at the door. They were fine when they arrived and are now back exploring the lovely British countryside, something they couldn't do in Oz. Last weekend we took them up to Formby for a really long walk - they loved it, meeting all the other doggies.
Good luck with it all

Re: doggy passed his blood test, horray
my pooch has today had his ok for rtn to uk!! horray and what a relief, it says on the letter that blood taken 31st jan so therefore can travel/enter uk on or after 31st july, is this right? i mean can we therefore put him on a flight out of here on the 31st ? getting myself a bit confused as with the time differences, i presume as long as its 31st oz time, he will be ok?
sorry i think im being a dip

Your not the only one confused now! my Dog is having its blood test on the 31st of MArch and then we have to wait Six Months before we're allowed to go back.
Why is it so slow here?

Re: doggy passed his blood test, horray
If you didn't have the 6 month wait here, you'd have to quarantine your pets for 6 months in the UK. This way is much better, for both you and your pets.

Re: doggy passed his blood test, horray
Don't blame you - Jetpets were really insistant that they could only fly out 12th Feb despite having the results of rabies blood tests back 7th August - am really annoyed with them now as we had to pay for kennel fees cos we needed to leave no later than the 7th
