In some ways I agree with Benn and think that keeping an escape hatch is not a bad shout, but keeping an escape hatch means you anticipate a real possibility of not doing well here. I don't know if that is the committment that may actually be required to make a success. It is only my opinion, but I think it has merit having seen people come and go in the 4 years I have been here. There are no guarantees in any case, but putting yourself in a position where going back is not going to be a simple case of booking flights makes you more prepared to fight for what you want.

Sounds as though you have figured it out well enough.

And Dave, your lass is working hard too.. There is an advantage in itself.... :lol:

I am with Rob on this one, with an easy way out there are many times when it would have been much easier for us to just hop on a plane and hightail it home, besides why have all that cash tied up in something you cant even enjoy when there is far more to spend it on here

If it wasnt for Mrs LOL66 working things would be very different :wink:

echo of a conversation my wife and i had last week the advice is good with sound reason and and experiance but our situation with equity and the mind to make a 100% commitment says sell before we move.

I think that type of commitment is so important.

Agreed.. Without committment, there is no real need to work at all the necessary aspects. It all takes effort and understanding.

Hi tony

i'd recommend getting the dog it's passport, i have 2 jap akitas on passport it shows all the jabs and microchip details and i'm told it can make life a lot easier for bringing your dog into Canada/America as it's in an offical format plus if things aren't right over here when u try to return to the uk the dog will have to go into quarantine for 6 month's i'm 99% sure of, and no doubt you don't want to leave the dog their on it's own for that amount of time i paid a the breeder to look after mine when i brought him over from France to the UK here's a link.

Once the rabies jab has taken you can take the dog out of the uk but it can't return till the 6 month's are up from the date it was a positive result, i would also reccommend doing it as early as possible the whole process took us about 7 month's as u have to wait for the results at the start and once your in Canada u can keep the jabs upto date to keep the passport valid.

If you have any questions i know people who ship dogs to the US and i think Canada so i could find out answers to any odd questions.

The whole process took us about 3 weeks to arrange, all vaccinations up to date, rabies jab, a couple of phone calls and jobs done.
Its very simple and no big deal but also very expensive :cry:
