Our dog (13.5 years) passed away last July in Cairo. She's buried somewhere in Maadi (I know how to get there) between Digla and Gedida.
We brought our 4 month old pup in January. Another woman, from the same company brought 7 bags with her, on the same flight. Customs was more interested in her bags, than my pup. Let me add that, with all the paperwork involved in getting a pet out of the US for an overseas trip, no one EVER looks at the papers (we have traveled overseas with a pet about 5 times now). Still, I go through the whole frustrating process, just in case some customs official snaps his fingers demanding papers. In Baku they demanded $50.00, and merely stamped the papers upon payment.
