Most people know my original plan was to take my puppy (Chandler, a yorkie) to Spain with me. I have all of his paperwork and vet stuff taken care of, and I even got a place reserved for him on the plane so he can ride in the cabin.
HOWEVER, I've been doing some research, and I found out there's some disease in Spain that's just awful for dogs. It's transmitted through sand fleas and mosquitoes, and there's no vaccine, treatment, or cure. Now, I know there's only like a 5% chance Chandler will get it, and if I use the flea collars and the drop things it'll be even less of a chance, but even a .0001% chance is enough to worry me.
Besides, I'm thinking not taking him may just be easier on me. I won't have to worry about boarding him if I want to travel... and finding a place to live that allows dogs has been a nightmare (even though I've found a few places, they're pretty far from campus and more expensive).
So needless to say, I'm probably not going to bring the little guy along. It's sad... but, I think it'll be better for both of us.
