Pet Passport, Package and Planning for Portugal!

Are you excited? I'm excited. Why am I excited? I'm going to Portugal, mofuggah, that's why!

Updates: Sunday dinner was tasty and successfully not that expensive. People were nice and things, yay!

Monday I went by the vet's office and got some info on what needs to happen to take my Gypsy King home. It's gonna be pricey, but today I went and got things started. First, the vet cleaned his ears and showed me the mites in them through a microscope. EW. Then she gave him a few vaccines and clipped his nails and gave me his pet passport! Hilarity!


I actually carried him to the vet since I haven't bought a carrier yet, which was a little ridiculous but he handled it well. The vet told me to get a carrier, but... I'm being a cheapskate. I don't wanna buy a carrier until I know what specifications the airline has for me! She said I could just get a cheap one and then get the airline one but ten euros is still ten euros...Urgh. She was also a little baffled by his name.

In other news that is great, I got a lovely, lovely, wonderful, amazing package in the mail today from the combined efforts of my mama and my lover! The contents:


Sriracha hot sauce, tasty little mini hot sauces, green tea and Duchess gray tea, 90% cocoa dark chocolate, hot cocoa mixes and an assortment of tights and leggings along with an adorable little worry doll and a lucky bean! THEY ARE THE CUTEST!

Speaking of cute, I have to leave my Gypsy King in the hands of my housemates for a week whilst in Portugal, and I was nervous about how thorough their care taking would be so I made a chart to make sure he gets water, food, and a freshly cleaned poop box everyday. Behold:

Agua/comida/caca.

I even added an extra day in case of some weird unexpected delay. Ugh, I hate to leave him. I wish he could be a traveling kitty! I mean, he has a passport, after all...

Well, tomorrow is my last day to wrap up some homework stuff, pack, and (knock on wood) go sign my new lease(!!) before heading off to Porto and Lisbon! Wish me luck!

  1. I am so glad you are going to my home town. Let me know if you want to connect with my nephews when you are in Lisbon. They will show you around.

  2. Aw man! I just got back and saw this too late. Lisbon was great, though, we had sooo much fun!
