24 Nov 08 - 10:40 PM (#2500898) Subject: RE: BS: Kendal/Dog From: Janie John, I think (but am not 100% sure) that pets have to be quarantined for a rather lengthy period of time, making it impractical to take them with you for a visit. Janie |

24 Nov 08 - 10:50 PM (#2500902) Subject: RE: BS: Kendal/Dog From: Jeri When I was a vet tech in the 80s, the quarantine was 6 months. I don't believe that's changed. |

25 Nov 08 - 12:20 AM (#2500923) Subject: RE: BS: Kendal/Dog From: Stilly River Sage I thought they changed that quarantine rule a few years ago. I have friends who took dogs there and I'm sure they didn't have to do a quarantine, but I think they had to have every shot known to man and dog and have microchips and such. Here's a site that talks about it. Looks like it has lots of helpful links. SRS |

25 Nov 08 - 03:31 AM (#2500951) Subject: RE: BS: Kendall/Dog From: Liz the Squeak There is a 'Pet Passport' scheme in place, useful for "sporting" animals (show jumping horses, international cat and dog shows contestants, animal extras for films) which lists every shot the animal has had, what vaccinations are current, what diseases the dog has had and its identity chip details. It's particularly useful for guide animals (Seeing Eye or Hearing Dogs for the deaf) and has proved extremely successful. We still don't have any reported cases of rabies in dogs and there is no appreciable increase in other nasty diseases so it works. Good luck! LTS |

25 Nov 08 - 04:36 AM (#2500987) Subject: RE: BS: Kendall/Dog From: ClaireBear I rather fancy the idea of Seamus as a "sporting animal." Although in my limited experience, he's more reminiscent of an obstacle to be jumped than of a show jumper. |

25 Nov 08 - 05:07 AM (#2501009) Subject: RE: BS: Kendall/Dog From: John Hardly Thanks for the info, folks. One of my favorite potters is in the UK and I've always kinda dreamed of a UK pottery tour. But my wife would hate to leave the dogs behind and I'd hate to leave my wife behind. And I'd heard that they'd softened the quarantine thing. |

25 Nov 08 - 11:33 AM (#2501267) Subject: RE: BS: Kendall/Dog From: jacqui.c It's a long trip for a human, let alone a dog that would have to be kept in the hold, I think. I don't think that I would want to subject a dog to that sort of journey, even though it is possible to get a pet passport these days. I think that the animal would need to be sedated for such a trip, but, even so, it would be hard on a poor animal who wouldn't understand what was going on. It's hard enough on us humans! |

25 Nov 08 - 11:49 AM (#2501289) Subject: RE: BS: Kendall/Dog From: jacqui.c He's got used to my foreign accent, gnu, and had no probs with my family this year so I reckon he would find it easier than Kendall does if I took him over there. |

25 Nov 08 - 11:50 AM (#2501290) Subject: RE: BS: Kendall/Dog From: Midchuck I get the impression that he wouldn't like it, also, because since SHE moved in with Dad, he only gets to sleep on the couch when he stays with Auntie Sins (Seamus, that is, not Kendall. Well, maybe Kendall too, for all I know.) Peter |

25 Nov 08 - 12:45 PM (#2501338) Subject: RE: BS: Kendall/Dog From: John MacKenzie He may have been referring to the down east accent |

25 Nov 08 - 04:50 PM (#2501526) Subject: RE: BS: Kendall/Dog From: gnu Ahyup. I have heard some of that there "accent". Even on Kendall's own TV programme! Wonder how he even understood some of it himself. |

25 Nov 08 - 07:34 PM (#2501662) Subject: RE: BS: Kendall/Dog From: jacqui.c Now, who knows what a dog does in the middle of the night? He farts and snores and moves as close to my bed as he can so that if I have to get up in the night I tread on him. Yes, the dear soul won't even leave me at bedtime! And it's Kendall who doesn't allow him on the couch - nothing to do with me! |

25 Nov 08 - 08:24 PM (#2501695) Subject: RE: BS: Kendall/Dog From: Barry Finn That blind old dog ain't nothing like that ole bantan roster, nothing gets that dog excited, though he does keep Kendall from falling down after a few drinks, Jacqui just lets Kendall fall so the dog can lick his face cause he's a seaing aye,aye dog. Him & the Captain see eye to eye when they're on the same level. I'm not gonna get an invite to the UK now Barry |
