Just trying to help! I like your new header pic.

Yes indeed, if we were flying with Trudy, she would need to see the vet before we go and get a certificate of sorts. Right now, we're thinking of driving, which means all we need to leave the UK is a valid pet passport :-)<br/><br/>Elizabeth--I imagine you understand the paperwork labyrinth quite well! I am trying not to get totally psyched about Holland because there is still a chance it could fall through. BUT having said that, yes, we are excited! Moannie–Thanks for the tip!

Ah! paperwork and how very tiresome it is.
Every country seems to want something different in triplicate.
Morocco was rather fun that way……
However, I envy you going to Holland.
I have always wanted to lived there one day.
Glad you got to spend the day with Bee.
Books and cakes — an excellent combination….
