Stocks (Matthiola incana), always amongst my favorites...
... and this time I seem to have gotten plants of almost every color in the mix!
Virginia stock (Malcolmia maritima)
California poppies (Eschscholzia californica) - the flowers are silky and luminous but their color always hard to capture in pictures
Firecracker flower (Dichelostemma ida-maia)
My dinner tonight consisted of a big bowl of mâche (Valerianella locusta) salad fresh from the garden, dressed simply with some olive oil and balsamic vinegar, pepper, salt, and lots of lemon juice, with some walnuts and fresh blueberries scattered over the top. Now that the days are hot, the mâche has to be harvested quickly before it bolts and goes to seed. In Germany it is a traditional and very common cold-season green; unfortunately in this country it is comparatively little grown or appreciated.

The major processes suggested in the literature for the formation of Podzols have been reviewed. Theories on the formation of negatively charged humus-protected sols and of metal-organic coordination complexes, including chelates, and on the immobilization of the sesquioxides and organic matter in the B by microbial activity, sorption and oxidation have been presented. It is concluded that, while the theories of complex formation and possibly chelation appear reasonable, more factual information is required on the constitution of the reacting organic substances and on the precipitation mechanism involved.Please view the pdf by using the Full Text (PDF) link under 'View' to the left.

Chelsea challenge to orthodox development5. May 2009 - 8:55
A thriving Orthodox Christian congregation in South London has expressed strong interest in taking over the long empty Guards Chapel at Chelsea Barracks. The chapel, which developers are seeking to demolish to make way for a large complex of luxury flats and affordable homes, has been recommended for listing by English Heritage. After fierce local opposition, the proposals, drawn up by the practice of Lord Rogers, have been slightly reduced in scale by the developers Candy and Candy who are working for the Emir of Qatar, who acquired the site for £959 million. They plan to replace the demolished 1960s barracks with sleek rows of identical apartment blocks enlivened by the glazed external lifts and stairs which are the signature of many Rogers buildings.

By Roland Bates, President, NPI/GPI
New franchisees oftentimes ask me how I first started National Property Inspections, Inc. Hopefully the following information will be helpful for anyone thinking of starting any type of business and certainly to someone thinking about franchising their business.
Just to preface things a little, when I first started this business there were not a lot of property inspections being done, and selling property inspection franchisees was rare indeed. I was, in fact, doing inspections at the time, and being an entrepreneur at heart, I had a strong sense that the property inspection business was poised to take off. It's a maxim that you have to spend money to make money. And sometimes you have to spend a lot of money on research so you don't blow a lot more money on a bad idea. One last preface: I thought the property inspection business held a lot of promise, so I wanted to take it to another level by franchising it.
I went to a marketing and public relations firm here in Omaha. I told them I thought that I was on to something with the property inspection business and shared with them what I was thinking. But I first needed something a little more scientific to go on. Four weeks and several thousand dollars later, the agency came back to me with a study that more or less said, "No guarantees but we, too, think you are on to something." (They were kind enough to accept cash, check or money order.)
Now I more or less had my instincts confirmed, but I felt I needed one more test. I ran a rather expensive ad in a national newspaper, which said, "Property Inspection Franchise … call for more information." I received enough phone calls to convince myself that I could go forward. I spent money to make money, but the other side of that is I ultimately spent money to confirm that I had a high probability of success. And in business, that's all you can hope for.
Now, for anyone who might actually be considering franchising their business: There's a lot more involved with franchise attorneys, developing training and support programs, and the like. Make sure you have a business model that you can duplicate, as well as that you will, in fact, be adding value to the franchisees for becoming part of your program. Think it through, do your homework and spend money on research. Good luck.

Affiliate Management
The relationship between advertiser, publisher and customer lies at the bottom of affiliate marketing.
Affiliate Marketing is the term used to describe a form of online advertising which consists of rewarding an affiliate for referring a visitor or rewarding a customer for performing a desired action, such as making a purchase or subscribing to a newsletter. In a way, Affiliate Marketing can be regarded as free publicity for your page—a network of related websites directing customers to purchase from yours.
Offshoot battles have the best outcomes when they are joined with Website improvement (Search engine optimization), Pay Per Click (PPC) crusades, email promoting support and are appropriate for travel, retail, and administration ventures because of their opportune research handle/expansive volume deals.

Micromax has announced on its official website that the A116 Canvas HD will be available to consumers starting this Valentine's day, February 14. There is no information about the pricing of the device.
At the launch event, Micromax said that the Canvas HD would be priced under Rs. 15,000. The information on the website is a simple banner which isn't clickable as of writing this article.
In terms of specifications, the A116 Canvas HD is a powerhouse. To start with, it has a 5-inch IPS display with a 1280x720 pixel resolution. Under the hood, it has a 1.2GHz quad-core MediaTek MT 6589 processor along with 1GB of RAM. It also shows off a PowerVR SGX5 GPU. The A116 boasts of dual-SIM capabilities. It has 4GB built-in storage expandable up to 32GB via a microSD card. The rear of the device houses an 8MP camera whereas the front has a 0.3MP shooter for video chatting. It also has a 2100mAh battery. Straight out of the box, the device runs on Android 4.1 Jelly Bean.
At the launch event, we got some hands on time with the A116 Canvas HD. You can read our first impressions of the device here. The one thing about the A116 that has really excited us is the SoC it houses, the MediaTek MT 6589. We take a close look at what the SoC is capable off here.
Micromax isn't the only one launching a device with the MediaTek MT 6589 SoC. Chinese manufacturer Jiayu reportedly plans to launch three smartphones in India priced at Rs. 3,000, Rs. 8,000 and Rs. 9,000 for an entry level, dual-core and quad-core smartphone respectively. Of the three devices, the Jiayu G4 is one that is powered by the same quad-core processor as the A116 Canvas HD but is priced much lower at Rs. 9,000. The performance of both the devices however will be judged once we have the devices in for review. You can read more details about the Jiayu G4 here.
Micromax reveals A116 Canvas HD release date
Another company that wants a piece of the quad-core budget smartphone pie in India is Karbonn with the announcement of the Smart Titanium 1. In terms of its specifications, the Smart Titanium 1 has a 4.5-inch qHD (540x960 pixels) display, and most importantly, is powered by 1.2GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon quad-core CPU based on the MSM8225Q SoC, and Adreno 203 GPU. This is coupled with 1GB of RAM, a 4GB ROM and expandable memory via a microSD card slot. Other specifications include a 1600mAh battery, a 5MP rear-facing camera, and a front camera (presumably VGA) for video calls. Straight out-of-the-box, the phone runs on Android 4.1 Jelly Bean. You can take a look at more details of the device here.
Karbonn and Micromax are at loggerheads when it comes to the budget smartphone market. Since both the companies plan to launch their own variant of the quad-core smartphone, we though we'd take a look and compare at the power under the hood of the two quad-core budget smartphones.

(Czech Supreme Court Judgment No. 21 Cdo 905/2014 of 24th February 2015)
Here, the Supreme Court dealt with the question of whether employment could have arisen based on an oral or implicit agreement. The court reviewed the facts of a case in which the defendant had sold the claimant's goods in its mobile shop for an agreed compensation of 10% of revenue for roughly a 3-hour period daily based on an oral agreement between the parties.
The Supreme Court attributed to this activity the signs of dependent activity ensuing from the provision of § 2(4) of Act No. 262/2006 Coll., the Labour Code, as the activity was performed personally by the defendant within the relationship of the claimant's superiority and the defendant's subordination, under the claimant's instructions, in the claimant's name, for a remuneration, within the working hours (or otherwise determined or agreed time) of the claimant at an agreed place and at the claimant's costs and liability. As dependent work may be performed – as ensues from the provision of § 3 of the Labour Code – exclusively in an employment relationship under the Labour Code (where not addressed in special regulations), the Supreme Court concluded that a civil relationship could not have arisen between the claimant and the defendant, but only an employment relationship based on an employment agreement or agreements on work performed outside of employment. The lack of a written agreement establishing an employment relationship between parties cannot be an obstacle to the existence of such a relationship, as an employment contract or contract for the performance of work could also have been executed orally or implicitly (as arises from the above).
The Supreme Court thus rejected the court of first appeal's finding that the legal relationship between the claimant and the defendant constituted a relationship based on a contract of mandate under the Civil Code.

Narcolepsy is a condition that makes a person excessively sleepy during the day. It's a neurological problem that doesn't have a cure and it disrupts a person's normal sleep pattern.
Cataplexy is a sudden loss of muscle control and tone due to some strong emotion – for example laughter, excitement or anger. It occurs as part of narcolepsy in about 50-90% of people with narcolepsy.
These conditions are quite complex so this is a brief overview.
Who gets narcolepsy?
It's a pretty rare condition, occurring in about 25 of 100,000 Caucasian people and comes on around the time of adolescence.
It's more common in men and there seems to be a tendency to inheriting it.
What might cause narcolepsy?
Scientists think that narcolepsy can come about if a person loses or hasn't had a few of the brain neurons that produce a chemical (called hypocretin) which is involved in sleep/waking cycles.
Head injury, infection or a change in sleeping patterns (such as night working) is thought to perhaps trigger narcolepsy.
What are the symptoms of narcolepsy?
A person often has episodes where there is an overwhelming and uncontrollable desire to sleep. These episodes can last a few minutes or a few seconds but can occur at any time – during conversations, while eating, at work or school etc, and when driving.
To an onlooker you may appear awake but not be aware of what's going on or behave appropriately.
This can significantly disrupt daily life.
What are the symptoms of cataplexy?
- The loss of muscle tone means that a person might have symptoms that are slight (feeling the facial muscles go slack for example) or more severe where he collapses to the floor.
- There will be no loss of bladder or bowel function and the person will be able to breathe normally.
- Speech may be slurred and there may be some double vision.
What will a specialist do for narcolepsy and cataplexy?
Your doctor will ask you about your sleep pattern. Usually people with narcolepsy don't sleep for longer than people without the condition, but their sleep is more fragmented during the days and nights.
He will also ask you about the meds you're on, any alcohol or recreational drug use etc, family history and your lifestyle.
You may have an MRI scan and be asked to rate your sleepiness on the Epworth Sleepiness Scale.
A sleep study will look at what happens to you when you sleep at night and an EEG will look at your brain waves and activity.
Treatment for narcolepsy and cataplexy.
For yourself you can:
- Make sure you have a regular sleep routine and get 7-8 hours' sleep at night.
- Have scheduled naps in the day.
- Have regular exercise.
- Talk to friends, family and co-workers about your condition. Serious cataplectic attacks can be frightening for people around you.
- Family and friends can learn to spot the signs of an attack so that they can help you prevent injury.
Drug treatments include:
- Modafinil is a drug specifically for narcolepsy and may help cataplexy. It is suitable for over 18s and most other people although there are some exceptions your doctor will discuss with you.
- SSRI antidepressants
- Benzodiazepines (like diazepam, temazepam) is used in people who don't respond to other treatments. These drugs may help consolidate daytime sleep into night time sleep.
- For cataplexy drugs such as clomipramine (an antidepressant), SSRI antidepressants or venlafaxine/reboxetine (newer antidepressants) may work well.
There is no known cure for narcolepsy. Cataplexy may reduce over time with treatment or improve of its own accord.

The Unacknowledged Lesson from the Current Testing Controversies
November 13, 2015
High stakes testing is one of many problematic, inherent characteristics of political control of what instructional approaches are produced, how they are produced, by whom, where, and for whom. Until we adopt a system that leverages direct bottom-up accountability of educators to parents and school-children, testing is the only available basis for accountability through administrative and political means.

I apologize is this has been covered before. DH and I are retiring in the spring of 2017. We'd like to pack up the house, put it all in storage and head to Europe for 6+ months with plans to spend 4-6 weeks renting apartments in various spots (tbd at this point but looking at Languedoc, Tuscany, Black Forest, Portugal and Switzerland where our son is located). We've traveled to europe many timed before but not with our pet and taking our 7 year old wheaten terrier with us is a must.
I'd like to know if anyone on this board has traveled with a pet; issues you confronted, unexpected pitfalls, etc. I've scoped out either cruising over with him on Cunard since they are pet friendly or using Lufthansa or KLM as they are both highly rated for pet transport.
Ideas, help??!!

Travelling with a pet
I apologize is this has been covered before. DH and I are retiring in the spring of 2017.

The problem with Cunard is that there's a 2 1/2 yr wait list for the kennels.
Report Abuse
1. Do you have your visa sorted?
2. You're definitely going to need a pet passport. And the dog will need to be microchipped and vaccinated between 4-52 weeks for Distemper, Hepatitis, Leptospirosis, Parvo, and Rabies (possibly more -- speak to a vet who has done this recently for expats). Your dog will also need a crate that is big enough for him to stand in. You'll also need a USDA Health certificate, a EU Vet Health Certificate, and some other stuff I can't remember. Again, consult with a vet who has done this before (or better, a pet relocation service).
Report Abuse
Yes, Sparkchaser, that is why we are starting to look at this 9+ months in advance. There is a great deal of paperwork needed and the timing has to be perfect.
Report Abuse
Well, the obvious, such as renting a dog-friendly apartment and making sure you have any needed medications or supplies for your dog.
Of course, make sure you have all the appropriate vaccinations and paperwork for your pet, for whatever form of trans-Atlantic transport you plan to use.
I would also want to consider what you will do if you have to make an emergency/unscheduled trip home to the States, on a different form of transport. (Someone at home becomes injured/seriously ill/dies, you have to make an emergency flight, that sort of scenario.)
I would also locate vets in your different destinations, before your trip, so you can find one in a hurry should your dog need care.
If you are planning to spend six months in Europe, you need to check about rules on how long you can stay and where (the UK versus the Schengen zone, et cetera) and if you'll need any visas.
I feel sure I've seen some other threads about travelling with pets and will see if I can turn them up. Good luck with your trip planning.

Have you poked around online for the information? I just put the words "taking your dog to europe" in a Google search and loads of links on the topic popped up.

We transported 5 cats to and from Germany about 15 years ago--the paperwork was staggering even then!
But it sounds like you know what you need to do to comply with the law, and my knowledge isn't up to date. I assume that the EU has a standard protocol, but do make sure that each individual country you plan to enter doesn't have additional requirements.
Two of our cats traveled in the cabin with us, in carriers that fit under the seat in front of us. We had to pay for the privilege, of course, but I was glad to be able to keep an eye on them. Of course, they hated every second.
The other three went into the hold in individual hard sided carriers that complied with the airline's rules.
That was VERY stressful for them. On the way to Europe, we gave them mild sedatives; on the return trip, we did not. They were super stressed out either way. One soiled herself and was a trembling ball when we retrieved her.
I would not do that again unless our lives depended on it.
Sorry to rain on your parade!

As pathological as I know it IS, there have been travels, projects, etc., which I have put off because we HAVE a pet.
I think you've been given some very good advice and i would try to plan for any and all eventualities. A friend of mine was waiting in the baggage claim area for his two crated dogs to appear and they didn't! I cannot imagine something like this and it is a rare occurrence (like that dog that got loose on the tarmac recently).
Two years wait for a Cunard kennel? God.

That two year wait tells me Dukey and I aren't the only pathological ones, lol.
I would sail if I could; Plan B would be taking the pet into the airplane cabin with me. (I have no idea how big a Wheaten terrier is, sorry!)

Google Pet transport to Europe. You will find tons of articles relating to shipping pets, everything from requirements to the best airlines. Only four were recommended. You want everything to be climate controlled and correct pressure. The pet should be the last boarded and the first off the plane, and taken directly inside, never left sitting on the Tarmac.
One thing mentioned in one article that I remembered from my daughter transporting several animals. You can ship them only at certain times a year because of temperatures. Be sure to check that before you decide when to go. Airlines are very strict about that.
There are several companies that handle shipping pets. They often provide kennel care before and after the flights, so they can take the pet at exactly the right time and pick them up as soon as they arrive. Check out that service.
When taking the pet with you, be sure to take a leash. It is hard taking a pet through security. Sometimes they want it out of the crate while they check the crate. A security person took one of my daughter's cats out of the crate (without telling DD she was going to open the crate) and it got loose at JFK. DD did catch the cat, but it was so frightened, it bit her terribly so she required hospitalization. It was a
Get whatever kennel you will be using and let your dog start sleeping in it so he/she will be used to it and feel it is a safe place.
If your pet is too big to go with you in the cabin, consider shipping it to your son a few days before you go.

Traveling with a dog in the cabin is NOT the same as transporting cats in cargo for TWO very big reasons:

Wheaten Terriers (30-40 lbs.)

We brought our two dogs to the UK when we moved over and would never put them through the stress again. Ever. Certainly never for just a few months.
Report Abuse
Wheaten terriers are too big for the cabin - they're legitimate-sized animals, not yipping little toy dogs.
Sheeyoot, moving 20 minutes away from our house freaked our cats out for a week about 10 years ago. I'm thinking that bringing a pet across the pond and bouncing from abode to abode (because for him, it would seem like bouncing from abode to abode) would shatter his nerves.

Our pugs were too big to go in the cabin...Wheaton terriers are most certainly too big.

I think the dog would be OK once they are IN Europe. Most cities seem to be pretty darn dog-friendly there. It's the getting him there in the first place (and home again) that concerns me.
Report Abuse
< It is hard taking a pet through security. Sometimes they want it out of the crate while they check the crate. >
Very true! Sassafrass, that story is my worst nightmare! We had to carry our freaked out cats through security while their crates were checked and it frayed my nerves.
<Sheeyoot, moving 20 minutes away from our house freaked our cats out for a week>
Also very true. I would guess dogs are more adaptable, but don't really know.
Just to clarify, I do not think that the airline did anything wrong with our cats in the hold. They have strict rules and I believe they followed them. It was just terrifying for the beasts in and of itself.
Report Abuse
<I would guess dogs are more adaptable, but don't really know.>
Yes (most) dogs are more adaptable and travel better than (most) cats.
I believe most flights have a 2-animal in the cabin rule. That's why the others had to go in the hold.
Report Abuse
No, the rule was one pet in the cabin per person--the two of us wouldn't have been allowed more regardless of the total limit for the cabin.

First you need to sort out your visa eligibility. You can't just move to Europe for six months. You also need to look into health insurance for yourselves.
Once you know you can get visas then look into moving the dogs. They have to meet EU import requirements completely. Taking them into the UK or to Norway requires extra steps.
It will be extremely stressful for them no matter which route you choose.
There are many things you will find it harder to do with two dogs in tow. Many hotels won't take them. You have to leave them at home alone when you visit museums and the like, meaning you can't easily spend a few days in a different city.
You will have to get them used to different food, and hope any vet you may need speaks English.
You may be able to board them if you want to visit somewhere else, but the costs soon mount up, and it all adds to their stress.
Having recently become dogless after 13 years, we miss a dog terribly, but have been able to visit places on our current trip we could never have gone to if Timber was still here.

Ours were too big to be in the cabin, had nothing to do with the number in the cabin.

"I think the dog would be OK once they are IN Europe. "
Absolutely right. And, once you've got the paperwork and pet passport forgetting them into Europe sorted, even getting them into the UK is effortless.
I can't really advise on the complications of getting them here. But once here (by which I mean mainland Europe), you'll generally find it surprisingly easy to live a normal life.
In Switzerland, no-one seems surprised to see a dog in a pharmacy or supermarket. In France, Italy (except, bizarrely, in Val d'Aosta) and most of Germany, restaurants are just astonished if you ask them whether it's OK for your dog to stay at your table. Ma certo
The exception, in my experience is Spain.
I've seen proper restaurants in Rome (and their perfectly sane customers) not blink in providing doggie platters of real food (artichokes, ground chicken or scraps of organic veal) as if the mutts were human babies.

The whole plane was the crate.
Yeah, dogs travel better than cats - cats' equilibrium gets completely screwy in vehicles.
And no one said life as a dog is bad in Europe. Just ask the Parisian dogs to whom all the world is a WC . . .

>>We brought our two dogs to the UK when we moved over and would never put them through the stress again. Ever. Certainly never for just a few months.<<
Me too. When I moved to the UK my parents adopted my dog (Norwegian Elkhound) and two cats. When I moved back to the States I had a Scottie and cat and brought them home (both were in the hold) . . . NEVER again. They were seriously traumatized. Both recovered eventually - the cat before the dog. But I would never EVER put pets through that for a mere vacation -- even a looooong vacation.
True -- on the ground in Europe there would be no issues really. But if you want to do this . . . travel by ship!!!!! Just too much can go wrong otherwise.

I had two different friends one w/ a seriously large Irish Wolfhound, and one who had 5 shelties . . . they both brought their 'kids' back to the states by ship.

Who said the dog couldn't live well in Europe? The issue is getting him there and then moving with him from place to place as a tourist.
Report Abuse
Based on experiences of two friends who did cross country flights with a dog I would never put a dog into the hold (and i'm not talking about the one that escaped on the tarmac).
Both had to go straight to a vet, one with a broken leg and the other due to uncontrollable panic.
If you really want to do this I would look at the freighters that take a small number of passengers - to see if any of them allow pets. Might not be glamorous but at least you are with the dog all the time. A friend of mine took a ship to Marseilles and said it wasn't too uncomfortable.

When I moved from NY to New Mexico I had to bring my 70# Golden Retriever.
The airline [United] had many rules and stipulations - a non-stop flight; it had to be 1st flight of the day to avoid heat, had to have food in a baggies attached to outside of crate and water too in case there was some delay.
I had no idea if the area where the pets go is lit the whole trip or dark. I knew it was pressurized of course, and I am pretty sure the temp was regulated as well. I cannot imagine the noise in there.
I had spent a long time getting him used to the crate before we flew. That helps for about a minute. We got to the cargo area, with him on a leash and the crate needing to be assembled. I remember his face as he got in and they wheeled him away, he was so scared.
No drama and we got him in Denver. He was a nervous wreck and in the car lost tons of fur, like a super shed. That lasted for a week.
He eventually settled down but I vowed I would never do that again. A small pet in an under seat carrier would be a maybe...in the hold, NO WAY.

A friend asked me to take his Labrador to France by plane a few years ago. An otherwise calm, friendly animal was a hot mess at the end of the trip.
Flights can be delayed, so things might take much longer than you imagined. During that time, the animal might not receive the proper care - the dog I was responsible for was not given food or water during the entire 16 hour trip.
You will have to find taxis which will have room for your two dogs while in their crates. Many drivers refuse to accept animals, period.
You will have to find a vet who will certify that your dogs are not sick - usually within 30 days of when you plan to return home.
I took the Labrador to Paris, but similar regulations apply throughout Europe:
Problems on the ground range from the fact that animals are often not allowed in public parks, or are severely restricted to a small area.
Most cafes will allow your pets to sit under the table, many restaurants will not.
Animals are not allowed in stores which sell food, and not allowed in most other stores.
If you are staying in pet-friendly apartments, some will require you to keep your dogs in their crates if you leave the room.
If you travel by train, you will have to purchase tickets for each of your dogs and keep them in their carriers during the trip.
If travelling on the bus or subway, they do not require tickets, but must be kept in their carriers.
It's a lot of work travelling with a pet. But if you must, I'd recommend travelling by boat.

I'd worry first about getting long-stay visas. THEN worry about your dog.
Report Abuse
I forgot to mention that I live in Paris and have a 6 kg terrier. We travel by train and public transport a lot.
Feeding your dog will be an issue if you will be moving around a lot. It's highly likely you won't have access to the same brand of food, and changing food frequently will can cause serious digestive upsets.
When you narrow down your itinerary, you should check around for veterinarians nearby. Many will speak English, some won't.
The logistics of all this travelling around will be complicated.
You'll need an airline-approved crate, a carrier with wheels, a big bag of dog food - which you will mix with what's available wherever you are to lessen stomach problems, toys, a dog bed...all this will have to be hauled around wherever you go.
Report Abuse
And one last thing - when I took the Labrador, she was off-loaded with all the other cargo (meaning non-checked baggage) and sent to a cargo facility 6 miles away from CDG.
I only travelled with a carry-on, so one of you would probably want to stay at the airport and wait for your luggage, or you could possibly store it at the airport.
You'll have to find out where the cargo facility is (depends on the flight) and take a taxi which will accept your dog and its crate. At the "fret" (cargo depot) you'll have to provide your dog's Customs clearance and possibly pay duty. Then you'll have to find a taxi to take you and your dog back to the airport, if that's where your luggage is. Needless to say, speaking French will come in very handy.
You do have the option of walking your dog on its leash inside the airport. That's what I did - and headed for the nearest bar, where we both had a much-needed drink. Even though the poor dog was still freaked-out and stunk to high heaven, people were nice to her.

Another data point for your consideration.
When we learned we were moving to Austria (from the US), NOT taking our then 4 year old, 25kg DDog (Foxhound) was never considered. The scant three months before we departed was a whirlwind of paperwork and a crazy day-earlier-than-expected departure, because the forecast high temperatures in the US might have resulted in the tarmac being too hot to hold dogs before loading (they are last on, first off). I had taken measures to have all of DDog's paperwork translated into German; and both sets of paperwork were affixed to his kennel. One of us was also required to be with him through ticketing and the transfer to cargo (so, plan extra time).
We also opted to fly direct on Austrian, a carrier with known sensitivity for flying animals; and to fly Business Class. That allowed us to linger a bit to ensure that DDog was securely on board, and to get reasonable sleep on the overnight. If we had required a connection, at least one of us would have transited with him (as opposed to hiring a service.) By the time we alit from our flight, DDog was sitting in the Excess Baggage area, waiting for us as if nothing at all had transpired.
DDog has a "Passport" document containing his Microchip and Vaccination records; and only once when transiting into a non-Schengen country in our personal vehicle were we asked to show his documentation.
Would we do it for a six month effort? Absolutely. DDog is a member of our family. At the time we thought our stay in Europe was to be only three years, but now it looks as if another four is in the works, and we could not imagine not having DDog with us. Who knows where your plans might lead? In our four years so far in Europe we have traveled extensively with him and have seldom encountered difficulties, including throughout Provence, Tuscany and Puglia (and much of Italy), Bavaria and other regions of Germany, and of course, throughout Austria.

My daughter took her 2 cats to the US from Europe when she moved to NY last summer. They were taken to a different area of the airport (pet reception) away from the passenger terminals. I believe JFK is getting a pet terminal (the [email protected]). There was a lot of paperwork but none on the scale that is required in the other direction. The cats only got water during the trip for obvious reasons. They were perfectly fine on arrival. Now they have acquired an English Bulldog, when it is time to go back to Europe, it might have to be by sea, as some airlines do not take snub nosed dogs due to health risks.

When my parents moved back to the United States from France, they of course took their little terrier with them. It was in a carrier bag and they had obtained permission to take the dog in the cabin (They didn't even have to pay extra, but this was TWA, so that shows how long ago it was.). The dog had a mild sedative and my parents were going to leave it in the bag for the entire flight, but it was the flight attendants who came and said they could take the dog out of the bag. They even brought a bowl of water. So the dog was able to lie in my mother's lap for most of the trip (a favorite secure place) or on the floor, and there was no trauma at all.

Yep -- anecdotes like Odin and fourfortravel's are just hunky dory . . . no problem, pet is fine. But all it takes is one of the 'other sort of stories' to happen to your baby and you'd never forgive yourselves.
I love LOVE LOVE animals (more than people sometimes ) and I will not EVER put another pet through that. The chance of something going wrong is just too much. And if you are really and truly honest you want to take him for you and your feelings, not necessarily for what the dog wants.
I was bound and determined to take my dog and cats to England -- but my sensible father convinced me that they would have a terrific home w/ my parents . . . and they did for many years.
When I returned to the States I didn't have my sensible father there to convince me and I brought my Scottie and cat home . . . and while it turned out OK eventually it was a terrible ordeal for them and for me.

fuzzbucket makes a good point about animals being delivered to a cargo building some distance from the airport terminals. When we traveled with our cats they were offloaded at the baggage carousel, but more recently friends had to pick their cats up at a cargo terminal.
Those friends were adopting cats from Afghanistan, believe it or not, and those 6 kittens were raring to go inside their carriers and seemed none the worse for wear.
While *I* wouldn't put animals in the hold again, I am sure most come through just fine. Anecdotal evidence gives you a lot to think about!
As a side note, Germany is extremely dog friendly: they are allowed on public transport, inside restaurants and inside most shops. Our landlady seemed more worried about renting to people with kids than those with pets

If you enter Europe other than Ireland or the UK it is likely that all your documentation will have to be translated. Check with the Consulate of the country of entry.

janisj: If the chance of something going wrong is as high as you assume, nobody would take their pets on flights. Not everyone has someone terrific to leave their pets with. Both my daughter's cats are elderly, one was an RSPCA rescue that she had for couple years. I think the rescue cat did pretty well, from rescue to NY is not a bad outcome. What would you suggest, put 2 elderly cats up for adoption or chance taking them with you? Since you are blessed with the wisdom of Solomon, I'm sure you'll give me the correct answer.
Report Abuse
You have to consider the restrictions dogs place upon you as I said upthread. It is one thing moving the dogs to Europe if you are moving here for work, but for what is basically an extended holiday, when you want to see museums and sites the dogs will prove a tie. You can't spontaneously visit another city for a few days and enjoy the museums and culture with two dogs to consider.
I loved my dog and miss him terribly, but on our current trip to the UK we have been able to visit many places we couldn't have considered had he been with us.
Anyway until you have your own visas sorted it is all academic.
Report Abuse
The military evacuated 287 pets this year from Turkey to Germany. They all made it fine, no way were they leaving them behind. I have shipped when there is no other way and have never had a problem. If you are military you take your animals with your family when you do overseas duty. I would not have like it with the quarantine but they don't do that anymore in the UK. My dogs bounce right back. We used a service and yes, it is only 6 hour flight for us to the east coast. I would rather do that than leave them behind. I just prefer to have them in cabin and not cargo but you can't always do that.
Report Abuse
I can fully understand wanting to bring pets and as long as yours are going for a long enough time it makes sense for them to BE there. It's the getting them there that has substantial risks.
If you can sort that out - and I really would look at the freighters - then go ahead. But I still would not put a dog in the cargo hold.
Report Abuse
Odin: janisj: If the chance of something going wrong is as high as you assume, . . .
I never said the chance was 'high'. Where did I say that? The chances are relatively low -- but tell that to someone where things don't go well. Sail -- Don't fly . . .

Sorting out a visa will be your biggest headache. If you are going to be mostly in Italy you will need a Permesso Di Soggiorno. Which means income of 38.000 euros, substantial savings, health insurance and a notarised lease for 12 months accomodation. You will not be able to move every six weeks as you have planned. You have to register in the commune where you live. It can take up to 5 months to receive the permit to reside and you must be in the area when the police come to check. And have you thought about tax issues. A nightmare. Sadly the days of just going to Europe for 12 months and travelling around are well and truly gone.
Report Abuse
once in Europe you'll be fine.
I travel with my dog and up to 8 cats every year and they are all fine. By car.
No idea about plane, but I often see pets in trains, they seem to survive.
Report Abuse
What about trauma to passengers seated nearby who have _legitimate_ allergies to your dog or cat?
Report Abuse
My understanding when we flew with our cats in the cabin was that a person with severe pet allergies is expected to inform the airline, and that we could have been bumped from our flight in that case.
I have seen dogs on public transport in Europe, though, including longer distance trains, so it seems to be a non issue there.
Report Abuse
People who can't stand to travel close to pets can stay home.
Report Abuse
Seriously. Thank goodness flights leaving Australia don't have animals in the cabin. Surely you mean people who can't travel without their pets should stay home.
Report Abuse
There have been precious threads here about dogs on planes emptying go their bowel in the aisle. The whole scenario has the potential to be a nightmare.

thanks for the info and opinions; seems our little guy will be staying at home while we're gone. I don't want to submit him to the trauma of a cargo hold and therapy dogs are not allowed in the cabin.
Report Abuse
Absolutely right. And, once you've got the paperwork and pet passport forgetting them into Europe sorted, even getting them into the UK is effortless.>
Even after and if Brexit passes?
Report Abuse
<therapy dogs are not allowed in the cabin>
This must be an international flight rule, because I have seen them on domestic flights in the cabin. I'm not talking about seeing eye dogs but rather anxiety therapy lap dogs, that sort of thing. I get the impression almost any animal can be "certified" a therapy animal these days by someone.
Report Abuse
Wasn't sure that the OP was still checking in. It's an excellent idea to take advice from people who have actually done what you had in mind. Since it sounds like this will be a significant change to your lifestyle, it seems as if you've made the best choice for both you and your pet.
You should enjoy yourselves and know that while it will be difficult to be separated from your dog, you can keep in contact with him through Skype, FaceBook, etc. This was not an option in the past, but it should help ease any doubts about the care and attention he is receiving during your trip.
Dogs don't "do" guilt-trips - he will be very glad to see you when you come home.
Report Abuse
<therapy dogs are not allowed in the cabin>
,This must be an international flight rule,>
It is not an international flight rule. It might be a particular airlines rule or the destination country might have quarantine laws, many airlines allow assistance dogs and some allow assistance miniature horses into the aircraft cabin.
Report Abuse
The best thing to do is just use a pet relocation company like we did. Let them deal with the logistics.
This is who we used when we moved from the US to Germany: http://www.petrelocation.com/
Report Abuse
As someone who has moved internationally twice with pets, this is my recommendation based on prior experience:
1. Use a pet relocation service. The one I recommended above is not the cheapest but you don't want the cheapest anyway.
2. Arrange to have the dog show up 5-10 days after you arrive. The last thing you need is the added stress of dealing with importing a pet into a country whose rules and regs you are not familiar with. By waiting at least a week, you and your husband can be somewhat settled in before the dog arrives.
3. If you want to leave your dog with its favorite blanket and toys while in the kennel, be advised that chances are very good that the relocation company will NOT be allowed to transport those with the dog. So you will have to arrange with the vet/kennel to ship those goods to you after the dog departs. Also note that you are not allowed to bring in meat products and that includes pet treats.
Report Abuse
The OP has decided to leave their pup home . . .
Iahawk: I know that was a hard decision, but it really is for the best.
(I love Wheaten's - I'm a Scottie and Airedale person myself but my brother had a wheaten who was adorable.)
Report Abuse
Ah, I missed that.
When did the dog become a therapy dog?
Report Abuse
Actually, my parents' dog would sulk for a couple of days whenever they returned from a trip taken without it. Then it would love them 300% again.
The sulking may have been caused by the huge excess of food and the 'no rules' in place when my grandmother or great aunt & uncle were taking care of the dog in their absence.
Report Abuse
<seems our little guy will be staying at home while we're gone. I don't want to submit him to the trauma of a cargo hold and therapy dogs are not allowed in the cabin>
Wise decision.

sparkchaser - he has been a therapy dog for about 4 years now; his job is working with families at Ronald MacDonald house. He is not a service dog however as neither of us have a disability that would require that.

Poor lil' guy. He's going to be sad when you're not there.

Leaving your dog behind for 6 months ?
I would never ever leave my dog so long. Trauma being in a cargo hold ? Just give him some pills to quiet him, give him some carresses when he goes into the hold and get him back after.
Trauma ? My dog spent several months in a cage at a dog center for abandoned pets before we took him. Same for several of our cats. They are not tramatized and are very very happy to be with us.
If you don't want to tramitzed your dog and don't want to put him in a hold, just cancel your trip.
Report Abuse
I on an assignment in Kansas City in 2005 and I couldn't take my dog so I left him with my brother. When I returned a year later, Toby was happy to see me but he wasn't "my" dog anymore.
IMO, the "trauma" excuse is BS -- pets get shipped internationally daily without incident -- but if the op doesn't want to do it, then who are we to push her into doing something she doesn't want to do.
Report Abuse
A lot of these 'anecdotes' sound like the same excuses people use for leaving their small children behind. "Oh, it's for their own good."
Report Abuse
I've posted this before; a guy put an iPod video camera inside the carrier of one his two small dogs (Pembroke Welsh Corgis) so he could see what their flight (in a cargo hold) was like.
Report Abuse
Thank you, Sue_xx_yy,
I thought they were always supposed to load animals last and unload first, and they are supposed to be kept inside in a heated or cooled area until loaded! Neither happened here. Since luggage was packed in after the pets, they must have been unloaded last. I also was under the impression that they were separate from baggage, in a climate controlled environment. Doesn't look like it.

Her first shoot with me was only her second ever; we did five looks in two and a half hours, and she was posing like she'd been modeling all her life! She's the most amazing natural talent I've come across. The first three photos are from our first shoot together, the last two are from our second shoot. None have been retouched.

She is a family friend, whom I have known since she was very young,
she has been one of my most often photographed muses over the years,
so I have many images of her. Here are a few. You can also see some work
she has done with a few other local photographers in her MM album. Although she has done some modeling on and off, usually associated with her band, she has never been a professional or signed model, and only now is seeking to work as a model.

I really enjoy teaching and that's what I intend on doing after I graduate with my Ph.D.
HobbiesI've done a lot of tutoring and volunteer work in the community. I was a volunteer coach for a girls soccer team for 5 seasons and I volunteered time as a board member for the local soccer league. I have season tickets to the San Jose Earthquakes team. When I'm not doing homework or soccer, I am spending time with my fiance.
