I had thought of stringing the end squares from the letter strips together into a square which will get bigger over time, but I like the idea of the wonky log cabins. Merci mille fois encore for the inspiration. <BR/><BR/>We had similar probs getting the paperwork for previous cat when we came out here. She was being "exported" so we didn't need so much stuff doing as if she was going back and forth (this was pre pet passport days). We got this side of the channel at 2.00 a.m and there was no one about to show the paperwork too. I paniced for days that we would get a visit from the douanes (custom officers) because we had illegally imported a cat. They are not the slighest bit fussed, but I can imagine that the US to France, by plane, is a different matter.Clarehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09344963200919601488noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14046597.post-18389029824197442402007-04-24T19:28:00.000-04:002007-04-24T19:28:00.000-04:00No-one expects the Elvis inquisition!

The funny thing was that I jumped through all those hoops and got all the paperwork together, but when I tried to give it to someone in Nice, they shooed me away. I remember trying to explain, "but I have this cat," to which they responded "Allez, allez." I'm sure the customs folks in Paris will be a little less casual.sophiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13408822963659450038noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14046597.post-45452714274189953272007-04-22T05:54:00.000-04:002007-04-22T05:54:00.000-04:00Aaaah some more inspiration for my freehand fans. ...Aaaah some more inspiration for my freehand fans.

Luckily none of us got it, but people at work have the same thing. I jsut can't beleive all the hard stuff you have to do for the cats to move. I think you should send Miss Lilly right over to my house! Wouldn't Chloe go nuts!
