Sorry OP kinda sounds like you just suck at having pets. Dogs don't need to speak, they have body language.

Moved with a pet overseas as a kid and yeh it was a brutal process which took a long time because there's a quarantine period and everything. But Peanut was worth it

Worf posted:I THINK ITS COMMUNICATING I used to work at a bird of prey/bat/reptile rescue that used the non-release animals for education, and we did joint events with a wolf and wolf-dog rescue. The difference of body language and facial emotes from wolves, halfbreeds and real dogs is extremely stark.

I can't hold on to 70 pounds of water and keep your Rottweiler from jumping on me at the same time. Oh their friendly don't worry about her. Uh OK you can pick up your priority mail at the office.

Dixville posted:These stupid health certificates hardly ever get accepted by the USDA the first time either because they nit pick. Like for example the rabies certificate says "Maltipoo" and something else says "Maltese mix." If you can't get the names on paper to be the same there is 0 reason to trust your word that your pet is fine lol you sound like someone who says their dog doesn't bite right before they maul someone lmao It's almost like these rules are specifically made for jackasses who go "ugh, I love my little furbaby, everyone should just be okay with it!" It's a pretty dang American attitude to treat safety measures as the worst because it is stopping you from doing whatever you want

Importing pets internationally is stupid bullshit. When I was like 9 in the 80s I was moving to Florida with my mom and wanted to take my pet fish, stupid orange looking goobers I named Leo and Carson although I think one was a girl. We got INTO the United States and they said we couldn't bring them in so I went to the bathroom and my mom made me flush them in the toilet and I cried for like a month straight. Stupid rear end rules.

We did a cross-country move by car a few years ago and had our cat with us. She was pretty chill about it all until we got to Arkansas, where she had a total loving meltdown in the car. It was like she was having a fight inside her carrier. When I went to check on her, she escaped her bag and was frantically jumping back and forth between the doors and dashboard, leaving still-there claw marks and gouges. Our prior cat died suddenly from a respiratory infection, so this was all a very not-fun experience. Fortunately, we managed to wrassle her back into her carrier and doubly fortunately this was near a major city, so we got her to an emergency vet within the hour. She received a diagnosis of "stressed the gently caress out" and we got some awesome  to get her through the rest of the trip. Coulda used some myself after that.

A lot of peace corps volunteers fall in love with some mangy stray dog or cat while living in their shack, in whichever country, to alleviate their crushing loneliness. When they come back to the states, they attempt to bring the animal, and many end up trying desperately to pawn it off on the incoming volunteers after they fail to get their paperwork in order.

I just watched the movie Alien last night and was wondering about that cat. Does the cat go into cryo sleep, or whatever it is, or under normal conditions does it just wander around for months with some kind of automated food and litter set up, until they reach their destination?

I’ve brought my dog between the US and another country similar to Australia in fussiness multiple times. We’re talking about like 15 hour flights. It is truly an insane amount of bureaucracy. Everyone you work with will likely fail you at least once. Some airline employee, some government official and even your vet. I basically wrote myself a playbook to keep myself sane the next time I do the process. You have to start preparing like 5 months before the trip if you’re trying to bring your dog into a more restricted country.

I agree with you on all these points, but I want to hear the story this inspired. There's gotta be some bureaucratic heart wrenching story from this.

I had to move from Philadelphia to Portland with my cat (tl;dr I had a loaded gun put to my head in a robbery attempt and then found out a few hours later my fiance was pregnant and said screw Philadelphia and we're outta here for somewhere more family friendly) . I bought a special Southwest Airlines carrier for him that they designed to fit on flights. That was 2010 and I still fee guilty. He didn't move. He didn't pee. He didn't drink water. He didn't meow. He just hunkered down as close to the floor as he could and looked frozen with fear the entire time. I'd occasionally open the carrier to try to calm him down and he'd just jam his face into my hand for some attempted comfort through his panic. There was nothing I could say or do to let him know everything was ok. But it's 2024 and he is currently staring at me from a couple feet away endlessly purring so I guess he still likes me.

Hell yeah sounds like you did everything right. Good kitty. One of my guinea pigs chases me when I go to the refrigerator. Watch out Coleslaw I don't want to step on you. The other one just hides in their cage. Don't worry Copper I'll get you a snack too. They have their own little personalities and we love them to death. Animals are fascinating and all we can do is give them the best time on earth that they have.

Treecko posted:Watch out Coleslaw I don't want to step on you. well now I'm upset I didn't also think of such a cool pet name. It's a repost from me but the coolest cat name I ran into here was a yellow cat that wasn't owned by a restaurant I visited but spent every day hanging out there so he became the de facto restaurant pet. That yellow cat's name was Schoolbus and he was awesome.

Hammerite posted:I think "invents whole life story and personality for you based on minimal information" is one of my favourite posting styles I've seen I actually invented a far more genericised strawman and generalised an entire country if you paid attention. The only thing I said about OP is they sounded like someone who isn't aware of their own pet's behaviour. So poor showing on your part really, just terrible form. I am absolutely here for Coleslaw and travel cat stories and the like tho, those are adorable
