Holly and Willow stole the show recently when they arrived in the TRNC.
We (in conjunction with our colleagues in South Cyprus) had arranged their travel from the UK into TRNC via Larnaca.
It is very important to us , and for owners we feel, that we all keep in touch abut the various aspects of pets travel plans. This includes decisions on the best route, paperwork, process and the actual journey itself.
We kept in touch with David and Jackie throughout – including on the day that Holly and Willow arrived. , and during the TRNC entry process.
On arrival in the TRNC pets (and their paperwork) are checked by Customs officers and also by the Government Vet.
The inspecting Customs officer was a young lady who, when she saw them, cried out ” Ahhhhh Cucker Ispanyol Ahhhhh ” She seemed beside herself and tried to explain.
She had very sadly recently lost her own Cocker unexpectedly at the age of 11 years and Holly (the Roan coloured spaniel) reminded her very much of him. She was quite emotional. She asked if would be ok if she could show Holly to her Dad. Seeing as we were waiting for the Government Vet to come for his/her checks, and it was not going to delay us, we agreed that she could “Whatsapp him”.
Baba (Dad) soon appeared on screen and the look on his face, as he looked at Holly in her travel box was priceless – he was quite overcome.
The Customs officer (and her Dad) wanted to pass on their pleasure/thanks to David and Jackie for having such lovely dogs and to us for allowing them both to be able to see them.
She explained that it was too soon to think of taking on another dog as they were still “hurting” but seeing these 2 girls she was in no doubt that it would be another Cocker when the time was right – maybe a Golden next time.
During the time we were there we were approached by another lady arriving on holiday – who the Customs officers had sent over to us – she had seen the dogs and wanted information on bringing her own pets in when she was ready to move to the TRNC.
After their vet checks were completed it was time for the girls to go home to their new home where David and Jackie (and friends ) were waiting for them. We were not sure who was the more excited at the re union – Spaniels or Humans !!!
