I moved to a new apartment in the same complex this past summer. I carried my cats from one to building to another in a soft sided carrier, and it was less than 2 minutes. They hid in the bathroom for an entire day, and then moved to under my bed.

That’s honestly ridiculous. I adopted my cat from a rescue in Massachusetts. Four years later, I moved to Chicago. Eleven years after the original adoption, I had to move overseas for work. I gave my cat to a cousin who had previously cat-sat her and loved her. I was supposed to somehow take my cat and myself back to…

The quarantine is almost entirely about rabies, and since the U.S. is a “rabies present” country the 6-month quarantine is in effect for moving to the U.K.

So the only way you can rescue an animal is through a rescue program with a contract?

And if they can’t find a home for it? Despite there being one the dog knows?

If I ever, for whatever reason, had to leave my dog in a permanent manner as such, he’d end up going with my parents. He lives a pretty spoiled life now and it would look like I was treating him like a 15th century peasant in comparison to how my parents would take care of him. He’d be puppy dog royalty with two human…

I don’t know shelters mean well but sometimes those rules are ridiculous. It’s whatever is best for the dog. Being with friends she knows and the dog knows is better than a return to the shelter.

When I moved to Germany my dachshund stayed in Georgia with my mom. He had epilepsy and we’d been advised against flying him. Throwing in the UK’s 6 month quarantine, I can see how this may have been the best option.

I’m sure she will get worse attacks than Kate. And the stuff directed at Kate is pretty bad.

Thank you!

Really. Kylie Kar, Kylie Konvertible, Kylie Krew, Kylie Konvoy. So many Ks, so little effort.

Yep. Knew a lady who moved from Nevada to Oklahoma with her dog. His stress level due to the move got so bad that she almost lost him. I’m super wary about ever moving my cat. He’s not super great with change and usually acclimates well, but it lives in the back of my mind that he could not take it well.

I remember when Daniel Day Lewis quit acting because he wanted to make shoes.

Agreed, and I’m sure she’s doing what’s best for her dog. I know my older pup wouldn’t be able to handle a transatlantic trek. Her anxiety would probably kill her en route and staying with a trusted friend would be a real possibility. I’m sure this is just the tip of the iceberg regarding what Meghan will now be…

There are literally dozens of reasons why it may not be the best choice to bring a dog to another country. Maybe it’s an illness that keeps it from being able to be brought into the country. Maybe the dog needs special attention in terms of food, exercise, etc that she’s just not going to be able to stably provide now…

As bonded as me and my dog are, there are a couple of friends she would gladly live with. They offer cats and squirrels to chase, luxurious backyards, big picture windows to look out of....I’m sure it was the best decision for the pooch and something she considered thoroughly.

Those boobs are fake so not much.

Most of the work is being done by the sheer netting in the dress – if you look at her shoulders, you can see the seam.

Truck is going to be her babie’s name isn’t it?

I feel horrible for Bogart. This must’ve been a heartbreaking decision. Maybe he had a disease that meant he couldn’t emigrate. My cousin’s cat had FIV, so when she moved to Australia, kitty stayed here.
