First hoop: a new rabies vaccination and certificate. $$
Second hoop: blood sample off to a special lab in Kansas to do a titre test for rabies. $$$
Third hoop: wait 120 days from the titre test for permission to bring Jack to Hawaii. This date comes up on April 10th.
Fourth hoop: the vet manages to dig up a copy of the original 2006 rabies vaccination certificate for Jack. Hawaii requires proof of at least two. Adobe Animal Hospital — they are the best!
Fifth hoop: fill out the Dog & Cat Import Form.
Sixth hoop: learn Alaska Airline’s requirements for traveling with a pet and comply with them.
Seventh hoop: make airline reservations. $$$
Hoops 1-7 cleared!
More hoops reported as they are overcome, but it looks like come May 1st, I will be flying home with the cat o’ my heart. In the meantime, more practicing patience. I hate practicing patience. You’d think that after all this practice I’d be better at it, but no…
This is very good news! May the days fly by until you two are reunited.
Soon, soon!
