Hooray, Hooray, Hooray...the last family member arrived today (actually on Aug 24/06)!! Bela was shipped by my sister, Betsy who (along with her family) cared for Bela for the past 2 months. Her flight left Winnipeg on the 12 noon flight and arrived in Honolulu at 1930 hr. Imported dogs require inspection and clearance through customs so she was only eligible for release the following morning. I grabbed an early flight(6am)to Honolulou to complete the necessary customs documentation and to wait for her inspection. She was finally released at 9am and we made the 10am flight back to Lihue, Kauai. Bela arrived in good health but shaken, stinky and anxious. She was bouncing off her kennel walls when she saw me in Honolulu but gave me the silent treatment in Lihue. I guess she didn't appreciate me putting her on another plane right away! The first day home, she really needed her space so she could acclimatize to her new surroundings. The next morning, she was her old self again and happy with her lot in life. Of course, I also made her favourite homemade dog treats and that perked her up pretty quickly. I think she is happy to be home.
