My friend in Germany just posted that as of June first, all officers will be required to live off post in Stuttgart. So- it looks like we will be living off post! its nice that i don't have to make that decision anymore. takes a load off.
but now I'm worried we wont find a house!!!!! since everyone will already be there looking for one- in the summer. and we wont be there till October 1st. we will just trust in God that He will have the perfect plan, and we wont worry about it. (hmm.)
Today has been all about my dogs. I called the military Vet to see what we have to do to get our dogs over there. there are 2 separate health certificates that they will need. one for the domestic flight over. and one for the Germans upon arrival.
the domestic will have to be gotten within 10 days of airline travel, and the German one within 4 months of arriving.
they will have to have rabies vacc. within 30 days of flying out as well.
its going to cost us, about 500 to ship both dogs and get their certificates and shots. the Army will not pay for our animals to go over. we were figuring a thousand, so in that case we are lucky. :)
they will not ship dogs in baggage between may and Sep. due to the heat. so they will be carry on luggage for us. i plan on getting them good and sedated before we fly out. i am glad they will be with us, and i wont have to worry about them under the plane afraid and cold.
i do think they will be under one of my kids feet instead of mine though. LOL!
i know there is so much more involved with this move, but for some reason i cant see beyond the flight!!!! well there are many reasons.
1. i am afraid to fly.
2. i am afraid to fly with 3 kids.
3. i am afraid to fly with 3 kids and 2 dogs.
4. i am afraid to fly.
XOXOX,
