Operation-Take Nina to America

We're moving right along.

Yesterday was Nina's third and last visit to the Vetrinarian. She got her last set of vaccinations, and we picked up a dog carrier for the airplane.

As you can see, it's not perfect. Nina is pretty squished in there, but she can lie down, and it's the right size for the airplane. They have pretty specific requirements for the size and weight of the Dog Carrier, and I don't want to max out on the size. This may be the best we find in Tongliao. It only cost me $9.50, compared to the $60-100 priced carriers I would have to buy from the WorldPet company, or the airline, which does not guarantee having any carriers available anyway.


In this photo, Ned says I look more scared than Nina. She was a very good girl, and it only took one stab to get this injection in, compared to the 6 tries it took on her first visit because she was moving around and squeling so much.


Here's the Vetrinarian's tool box. ouch.



Here he is getting ready. Ned kept saying, "Ni Hao, Ni Hao" to get the Vet to look at him. He just laughed said hello back. He's a nice Vet.


He's going to write up some paperwork to me about what exactly he gave Nina in those injections, and then I'll fax it to Beijing to make sure it's everything she needs for her exportation from China.
