Dog Travel – What You Really Need to Know

When traveling with your pet…have a health certificate, proper Identification and medical record with you. Dog travel requires good advance planning and preparation.

Car Travel…not all dogs like to travel and if your pet is not familiar travelling in your vehicle, take some short trips and slowly build up to longer journeys.

Be sure to use proper restraints when your dog travels in a vehicle. Many companies now make seat belt systems and travel crates. A dog crate is considered the most popular investment to keep your pet safe. A car travelling 35 miles per hour can add 30 pounds at impact on your dog in an accident. Keep your pet safely secured while you travel on the road.

Do not leave your dog locked in a car. In 70 degree weather it takes very little time for the temperature to climb into triple digits. Leaving the window down several inches does not provide enough ventilation. Many states are now passing laws prohibiting leaving your dog alone in a vehicle. In extreme temperatures it is best to leave your dog at home.

Many hotels welcome pets…so do your research and make sure your “loved one” has a place to spend the night. Use proper dog etiquette while visiting a “dog friendly” hotel. Many previous “dog friendly” hotels no longer accept pets due to the previous bad behavior of others. Clean up after dog walks and keep your dog on a leash at all times. Do not leave your dog unattended in the hotel room as dog barking is always a big complaint by other guests…

Air Travel…airlines have different procedures for transporting pets. Travel costs will also vary between the airlines.

If there is a risk of airline delays…this should be a consideration as your dog can be caged in the cargo holds in extreme weather conditions for long hours. In these cases, you should consider leaving your pet at home.

Traveling Abroad…the requirements of the country you want to travel can make the decision for you. Some countries such as Great Britain require quarantines that can last 6 months or longer.

Canada and Mexico require you to show proof of vaccination. Canada requires proof of rabies vaccination within the past 3 years. Mexico requires proof of vaccination within the past year. Hawaii law requires quarantine for your pet for 6 months.

Many airlines allow small dogs in approved crates, to travel with the passenger in the cabin of the plane.

The safety of your pet should always be the main consideration when you decide to travel with your dog.

The Untold Agony of American Immigrant Parents That Lost Their Kids Culturally

Every year hundreds of thousands of people come to America, some for sightseeing and most come to seek for a better life. These immigrants dream of a future in America that is no less than heaven. What happens is that they in pursuance of their heaven they forget about their world. What I mean to say is that for immigrants to achieve their American dream, they will usually have to work hard on a regular basis that they are left with little or no time to spend with the children. The children slowly and gradually convert to the local culture and adapt to the local language. With little or no practice of their heritage language the children often tend to forget what they might have learnt earlier about their heritage language.

In some cases the parents themselves are apprehensive about the idea of teaching their children their heritage language, fearing that it might affect their ability to learn English. This does not only keep them away from the language, but also from the heritage culture of the parents. With the passage of time, the children are totally Americanized culturally and most parents will realize this misfortune only when their children are totally far gone into a strange culture and consider themselves as strangers to their own parent’s heritage.

This is a very painful episode that an immigrant can go through as the children grow up with a different ideology and opinion which most times contradict what you have learnt in your culture and society. Yet, another point of distress for such parents is that your child will totally avoid people from your heritage culture and drifts away with people from the dominant society. They no longer own you, your culture, your ideologies and even in some cases your religion. This happened probably because we as immigrant parents were too busy trying to make ends meet or being too apprehensive to teach your children your heritage language at an earlier age.

Teaching heritage language not just makes a child bilingual, but it also deeply embeds the seeds of heritage culture, norms, mannerism and an identity. These seeds grow with time and constant practice of your heritage language. If properly nurtured, your child will not be lost in the sea of the dominant culture and you will be saved from regrets later on.
