Just came across this, Sadie. Great report! Kathleen is reading it now.

Thanks for bringing this back up. I haven't read it in a long time and got a kick out of reliving it again.

That was fun to read again.

A friend’s dog had an account on a paddling message board; Bob (the dog), posting as Dr. Bob. Dr Bob was quite cutting about his idiot human companion and there was a several year game trying to guess the actual identity of who was posting as Dr. Bob.

It wasn’t me, but I wish I had thought of it first.

Thanks for the expertly written TR, Sadie. And, those photos... such a cutie ! (Just a little late, I know) Just one question for Alan: what is required by Canadian customs when crossing the border with a dog?

Just one question for Alan: what is required by Canadian customs when crossing the border with a dog?

You're supposed to have all vaccination certificates and, if I remember right (and I might not) the dog is supposed to have had a recent vet checkup with a note of well being from your vet. I carried all these things the few times we crossed the border but was never asked for them.

I believe the only thing required is proof of a recent rabies vaccination. We brought our dog to Canada in 2024, and that’s all we had with us. No questions asked.

I believe there is a hilarious scene in a book by Steinbeck in which he leaves the US with his dog. The Canadians won’t let him in because he doesn’t have the required papers for the dog. He turns around, goes back to the US and they won’t let the dog in because he doesn’t have the required papers.
