Hale of a Journey

With the cats getting their vaccines done; it was time for Doug and me to get our medical done. Doug and I had to get signed off by the doctor and the dentist. Doug got his done a few weeks ago, so I had to make appointments to get checked out. I don’t go to the doctor unless their is something really wrong. I went to the doctor and he signed my paperwork. Then I went to the dentist and I have to go back in order for I get my paperwork signed.

We love our cats (Mittens, Gigi, and Calcifer) and want to take them with us to Japan. In order to take them with us, they have to be healthy and get some vaccines. Doug took the cats last month to get a wellness check, their first round of Rabies Vaccine, a FVRCP Vaccine, and Microchipped. Gigi had a Microchip but Mittens and Calcifer needed one.

I got the pleasure to take the cats to get there second round of Rabies Vaccine and their blood drawn for a FAVN Test. For the FAVN test they have to send the blood work to Texas. It takes three to six weeks for the test to come back. The military recommends you start this process 180 days before moving. We are way ahead of schedule. We are also lucky to find out where we are going with months to prepare.

They have one more vet visit to go, which will be closer to when we move.

This is a lot of things to do for your cats. Well, yes it is! But, our cats won’t have to be quarantined when we get to Japan.

Doug and I found out we are moving to Sasebo, Japan in June 2020. We are excited for the next chapter in our lives. I have always wanted to visit Japan and now I get to live there for three years. Doug has been to Japan. He went to Tokyo for a vacation with friends in 2007.

I am starting this blog in order to document our journey before and show our journey in Japan. The goal is to try and post once a week!

Thanks for joining me! I have always wanted to started a blog to keep track of my adventures. My husband, Doug, and I will be starting a new chapter in both our lives. We are both excited and cannot wait for the Summer of 2020 to begin!

Go where you most feel alive.
