If properly care for goldfish can live for 60 years and a parrot for 90. my first marriage didn't last that long.

When I visited Steven last summer, I brought my dog across and stayed for a week. I had all of her papers and vaccination records with me, but I think as long as they knew I brought them along, it was cool. I think pets are ok as long as they won't become your next meal, like a chicken or a bull or something.
Hmm, wonder if goldfish tastes like chicken... Sorry, couldn't help myself with that one!

If they have had all of their shots, you should be fine.

She used Detroit POE (Ambassador Bridge) on her land journey from Canada
to Florida in mid 2002, bringing with her Mike the goldfish.

not sure about goldfish - but it was a big relief to find out that I can (if I need to) take my dog back to the UK

(there must be some similar info for bringing pets to the US out there somewhere!)

Hi Jules,
Listen, I have no answer to your question, but I have to say it made me laugh out loud, yes it really did.

And all you animal activists out there, I do apologize, but if I were Jules, I'd be thinking about a little *FLUSH* and a trip to Walmart's fishy section when I got to the US.

I'm sure you have a very special little fish, but um......unless he talks and is as cute as Nemo, send him down the john.

Good luck, and I hope you find the right answer..........

~SG
