Ruby's Incredible Journey
Spotswood staff are great! She sure has grown.
The Rubster -AKA Carmen Electra
Ruby is our Bernese Mountain Dog. When we committed to moving to Tasmania, she was only four months old. Just a pup. She is a special friend. Australia doesn't allow imports for dogs as young as 6 months. We wouldn't have left her behind despite the 150 offers to take her off of our hands. It seems most every one loves her.
Australian quarantine is amonst the strictest in the world. Of course a rabies free continent like Australia., where the only population of marsupials such as the Tassie devil, Kangaroo, wambats, Koalas, Wallabys, Bandicots, quoals exist only here., it is obvious why the requirements are so strict. Ruby made her incredible journey. She spent 4 months with our much appreciated friends , the Ashcrofts while we started our lives in Tassie. They took excellent care of her and safely saw her off in Vancouver. She couldn't of had been with a better family. Ruby then spent over 30 hours traveling to HongKong then to Australia. Quite a big trip for a pup. She is currently in her minimum of 30 days in quarantine at Spotswood quarentine center in Melborne Victoria. We can't wait until she is out. Welcome to Australia Ruby. We have missed you.
Thanks again Ashcroft Family.

Ruby has really grown since I've seen her in June. She looks great. It will be nice when she gets out of jail.
Hi Wendy,
It's Sandy's friend, Leanne. Came over from her sight. Lovely pics, ghosts are creepy, but I am enjoying your journey. Hope you don't mind having followers. It looks stunning over there. I hope you are having a geat time and the kids are enjoying their adventure. I know Sandy miss's you terribly. Look forward to more pics and stories
Thanks for the familiar voice. It does get a bit lonely from time to time...sob..sob. However I vowed not to look back, eye straight ahead, onto the next adventure, yada,yada, yada. I fondly remember Sandy's 40th. We should do that again at 50. Better still at 45. Thanks for checkin in.
Sandy Sent me to check up on your Ruby pics too (we have 2 Berners), and now I am reading and enthralled with your adventure! Australia has very strict guidelines for agriculture imports, in Canada we are always seemingly playing catch up. We have recently adopted their Last Chance bins (People can safely discard agri items in bins prior to clearing Customs), And the fines have increased 10 fold ($200. per banned undeclared item)
