This is Tinker, our little MaltiPoo. She’s the happiest, friendliest, most affectionate dog you’ve ever seen. I walked into the bedroom the other day and found her lying on the bed with a soft stuffed kangaroo dressed in a sweater that says, “I LOVE AUS.”
I don’t want to push my luck here, but I believe Jamie said, “Maybe we can take Tinker with us next time we go down under.”
Now if we can just get Oz to eliminate all its harsh restrictions on foreign visitors, Jim and Jamie and Tinker can head down under again.
(Good thing we don’t live in Pennsylvania or a big box of late votes would have been mysteriously discovered in the trunk of a car sitting in a parking lot across the street from Democrat Party Headquarters and the final tally would have been 100,000 votes against Oz vs three votes in favor.)
How long is the quarantine for dogs? Or can you get Tinker through as a family member?
Under normal circumstances the quarantine for dogs is ten days. Tinker is friends with Sherman, another dog that just flew to Australia.
10 days?? Always was 3 months.
They changed the rules a few years ago. Animals from countries with rabies (like the United States) have a 10-day quarantine. Animals from some other countries have no quarantine at all. Tinker’s friend Sherman is owned by an Aussie family that adopted him while they were living in the US. Sherman had to go through months of shots and vet visits to qualify to fly to Oz and go into the ten day quarantine.
