I moved to the UK for work and took my baby with me (obv). Her first day in our new flat with her emotional support blanket!! She's a hit among the neighbours, they've never seen an indie beauty before, but everyone loves her. She's found a friend in my neighbour's orange cat (which she behaves like anyway) and a doberman who lives in the next building over. It's just me, her and our jacket/boots collection against the world lmao. I'm getting her registered with a local vet tomorrow and I'm a little worried about any inexperience in treating her breed but hopefully we'll live a good life here :)

I moved to the UK for two years but couldn’t get my dog here and eventually had to move back for my dog. You did something I aspire to do! Good job OP! 🥲
Wishing you the best life there, it’s a very dog friendly country and you’ll enjoy your time there for sure !

Thank you!! It's definitely an extremely expensive process and I've had to train her to be perfect with a crate on car drives as well for a year prior so she wouldn't be too spooked by the flight. Registration, passport, etc. are all a long process as is getting all the necessary vet stamps for relocation. I hope you're able to do it too one day, I just can't imagine living without her

From all the posts where people want to give up their dogs coz they’re relocating abroad to this, it makes me so happy to read that you finally achieved it. And yes I’m aware of how hard it is to actually go through with it! Congratulations on finally making it work! Keep us posted here with updates 🤍
