Guess where I went?
Not on purpose, mind you.
Since the border is closed, a puppy has to travel with a commercial transporter to get into Canada. I will spare you all the complicated details but it likely doesn’t surprise you to know that I handed over Zaniah at the last possible place on the route and then followed the transport van to the border.
Well, actually — I went across the border.
Text to my sister as I was dealing with the Custom Agents. She thought I was kidding!
Wouldn’t you think those gates are the border?
Nope.
Much explaining to the Customs Agent and apologies and I was eventually allowed to turn around but since I was technically arriving in the USA from Canada — a distance of about 100 feet — I had to stop and also explain things to the US Border Agent, show ID and so on.
Oops.
I waited until I was sure that Zaniah was with her new human…
…and then drove five hours home.
Zaniah — now Xeena — will live with Kim and her family, including Daisy’s littermate, Eddie. A perfect placement for that wonderful, busy, smart, active girl — both of them :)
Dear Husband was in charge while I was gone — I think the manners might have slipped a bit in my absence.
