THAT is a good story. I had a good one a year ago when we were taking a bitch to SeaTac to fly to California to be bred. The Border person didn't want to see any paperwork ---- he just wanted to look at the dog. Seems he had a Shepherd that he had recently lost and just wanted to 'look' at a German Shepherd. Once he had done that, he sent us on our way ------- still not seeing any paperwork. Too funny.

Paula and I went into the duty free shop and decided we both were in need of some new perfume. I would spray a spritz on one part of my arm, and then another on another part of my arm..as she was doing the same to herself. By the time we were done spritzing perfume scents, we were Quite Odiferous. We both got in the van and then had to wait in quite a long line at the border. It was a cool return back to the States so we kept our windows up until the last minute. Well... the look on the crossing guard's face when we rolled down the window to hand him our drivers licenses was Priceless. All he said was "buy anything to claim?" and thank you and GO. Hahah. I have been back and forth across the border quite a bit, and as long as I had my drivers license have had NO trouble crossing at Ft. Erie. OH, Except for the time that Paula, Leslie and I went up-going into Canada. I had > brought some pups, Paula had brought some pups, and some dogs, and Leslie brought a couple dogs. Leslie was driving. When we got to the gate, the guard asked her how many dogs she had in the van. She said she didn't know. He looked at me..Um..I said I didn't know. So he opened the back door and looked at Paula and she said she didn't know. I think we may have looked like a bunch of Dummies ( the how to get across the border easily book we never read). Then we started counting. "Well, Paula brought 3 pups, and I brought 2 pups and 3 adults, and No, I decided to leave the one adult home...Well..." He finally got so exasperated with us he just said... "Go on"!! ;-) > Tari Kridler > ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2005.
