Exporting Dogs from the UAE
We started out talking to several local boarding kennels in Dubai and Sharjah who also deal with importing and exporting pets. They were very helpful and offered up lots of information and a HEFTY price tag. We paid about $1500 CAD to get them into the country (excluding the cost of vaccinations to avoid quarantine),…

An Adventure in the City
I just had an Amazing adventure! My dad and I went for a ride on the metro to pay for schooling. It was really cool, and really hot at the same time. Lol. When the train stopped in Internet City, (where we had to pay for schooling), we couldn’t find our way to the International…
