I must say, the positive results we're starting to see from the Department and United and others (Delta!) make me feel redeemed in using Hattie's legacy to make my point. We're working on reservations home this summer - the cats are nominally booked, but it's a work-in-progress. It is very sad to have to leave Hattie behind, though, knowing I'll likely never be back to visit her...Sadiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04348502564760792668noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-928481807787723755.post-88431205151537117462012-05-15T12:38:18.781-04:002012-05-15T12:38:18.781-04:00We are working on the arrangements to fly our dog ...We are working on the arrangements to fly our dog from Mozambique to the States and then to Turkey. It is a nightmare with the connections and I was thinking about you and your upcoming move this summer too. What happened to Hattie was so wrong. Hoping you have a smooth departure and transfer with your little furballs -- keeping fingers crossed for you.Nomads By Naturehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06893950431543999751noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-928481807787723755.post-58106463133225759652012-05-14T15:23:13.458-04:002012-05-14T15:23:13.458-04:00I am so, so sorry to hear about your loss.

Even a year and a half later, I know how much one can miss one's companions, and how hard it is to honor them when they die in countries that aren't used to Americans who treat their pets like, well, family. My nearly 18-year-old cat died in Brazil on my 2nd overseas tour (but after countless moves with me in the DC area). While my vet was very compassionate, I know he must have been thinking "crazy American!" when I asked about cremating my cat so I could have his ashes. I didn't want to leave him behind. "Senhora, we don't have that in Brazil, only for horses, and that is in Goiania," (about 6 hours away) he said, albeit sympathetically. I am glad the consulate was supportive of you and allowed you to bury and mourn your pet.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-928481807787723755.post-57855546454714619572012-04-02T21:30:02.650-04:002012-04-02T21:30:02.650-04:00What happened to Hattie is so heartbreaking and I&...What happened to Hattie is so heartbreaking and I'm tearing up thinking about your loss.

So so so so so sad.<br /><br />I wrote a bit of a complaint myself, but adding a bit of a rant -- it's getting on my nerves all the people claiming they will have to leave their pets behind because it's too expensive. I linked to your story at the bottom to show why this matter to us just not in a financial perspective. <br /><br />(It's going to be posted on Monday, so not online yet, because I don't like blogging on weekends, even if I do get around to writing on a weekend!)Carla Runs The Worldhttp://www.carlarunstheworld.comnoreply@blogger.com
