Just one "Golden Retriever size" dog.
He's actually a Golden Doodle but everyone thinks he's a regular Golden.

I figured the "money talks" thing and I guess a year in advance is do-able.

Thanks for the advice/experience.

I wouldn't even count such creatures as "dogs".

All the best for a smooth move with your pooches.

I did think that dog treats must be called biscuits in the US. When I read 'cookies' I was immediately thinking of the sweet human treats!

LondonSquirrel -well one of them does love bourbon biscuits!

Pulaski - Each to their own.

TexasPenguin - I think you'll be fine Also those dogs don't shed right? Definitely let them know that.

Indeed. ...... And the very best of luck in your latest traverse of the Atlantic. May you have many many happy, er, ...... weeks in Britain before you feel drawn back to America.

Thanks for this - didn't think of it. We have a poodle. Good luck to you

Well.....we hardly ever call them "the dogs". We call them "the girls"; "the puppies"; "puddlins"; "spuds" - pretty much everything but dog.

I know. We're a bit out there.

Katy Perry has a couple of those, or so she said.

Not out there at all. We call our 3 rats the girls.

I call our two indoor male cats "the weasels". The outdoor cats (only one now after our youngest cat died relatively unexpectedly (he did have a known heart murmur) from heart failure) we call "the yard tigers", as they both have/had stripes and we got them to reduce the supply of snake food fauna around our home.

Oh I am sorry about the kitty who passed away.

Not as long as you don't call them "my widdle oochy-coochy babies", please ...

We definitely don't do that!

I once ended up confusing myself by calling one of our rats a 'cuteheart!' Now we sometimes call them that just for fun.

So....

Flights booked
Puppies booked
Shippers booked (Rainier FYI)
Cleaners booked
Carpet cleaners booked

And today we found out the rental we want is ours! HURRAH!!!!

Friday we get the pups their rabies shots to start all the paperwork, then health certificate, tapeworm and APHIS stamp.

I think that's everything......?

Just have to sell my MINI Clubman S now
