As to the long-tailed tits, I read that they travel in small, excitable flocks. What a charming picture that makes! Come to think about it, that makes them quite like some of the Irish traditional music fans that I know... I am so glad you and your buddy are going to be reunited!

In order to avoid quarantine 6 months following the blood test, following the rabies shot, following the implanting of a European standard microchip, had to pass. That, and more, is now the case - today in fact - so now there's just a ton of more legal hoops and procedures and she can come <em>almost</em> straight home. My understanding is that without seeing the dog, the dog is taken from the airport to the quarantine facility in Dublin (not too far as it happens) and there the dog is scanned and tested before being handed over to you. I'm told that the dog should leave the airport within an hour of landing and I should be able to bring her home from the quarantine facility after about an hour of being there. But then I could write several posts on what I've been told - and I probably will. Primal - yes. I've aways wondered what the fat cattle family do upon the return of their wayward calf.

Do you have to keep the dog locked up in quarantine, Eolai, or can she come right home with you from the airport? What a cute tit!
