Gus and Fred Do Time

Our dogs, Gus and Fred arrived to Perth in January. Due to Australia animal import regulations, they have to be in quarantine for 180 days. 150 of these days can be spent in the US. So while Ricky and I jetted off to our new life in OZ, we had to leave the kids at their grandmas.  The Beasley family took care of them in November. Then Kim and Mark took care of them in December, and shipped them off in January. Thank you to everyone who has helped in this process! We greatly appreciate you giving Gus and Fred lots of love and attention!

I get to visit Gussy and my sweet baby Fred 3 times a week for an hour each time. We get to use the exercise yard for an hour week. Although time with them is limited, I enjoy every kiss Fred gives me, playing tug of war with Gus and spoiling them rotten with treats!

Ricky has only visited them once. :( The quarantine facility is located 45 minutes from Perth CBD, so he can't make it on his lunch break most days. Ricky got to play with the boys on his birthday though! What a great present and reunion after 3 months!
