I'm so excited! I'm very happy to share this news with my SM family: I was just notified of my acceptance to the Masters program at the University of Paris for Global Communications. I'm really excited about the curriculum and, of course, being in one of the cultural capitals of the world.

Leila and I will be packing up and heading out to Europe in mid-August. The program begins in September and is a full calendar year. I've spent lots of time in France, so I'm not nervous but SO excited to get back. I'm glad Leila will be there with me through this time abroad, too. She'll be my only family and friend to begin with

Who could ask for a better companion? :wub:

I'm already considering how I'll get her food/grooming products, etc. shipped over to Europe. Maybe I'll have to have things shipped to my parents' and they'll have to send it over to me. Anyone know of companies that ship internationally?

Who knows, maybe when we get over there we'll have to plan a trip out to see Heini or Milo :thumbsup:

Ashley, This is fantastic news ! How exciting for you !

I am leaving for a 5 country European vacation May 13th and we will be in France May 23-29th ( I can not wait!) The days in France are divided by 3 in the Loire valley at a Chateau and 3 days in Paris in the 5th arrondisement.

I'll give you a review after we get back.

Wow! That is exciting!

This reminds me of something I did a few years back on a much smaller scale. I took a summer program up in Montreal and took my dogs with me. At the time that was Cloud and Cameo. I found that they helped me to meet people. I even ended up with a nightly playdate in the neighborhood park. It was a wonderful experience. Bon Chance!

Leila certainly is a great conversation starter! I'm confident she'll help me find friends

That's another reason I'm very excited for her to be coming with me.

over here we go to the vet and they sort it, so I presume its the same for you.
The passport is great - she should have all the requirements(rabies shot etc.)
I think she would need to get blood tests done 6 months before entering countries such as Ireland and the UK.

Congratulations!!!!!
I've had Crystal and Angelyn (both of this forum) send me things to China, so I'm sure France will be even easier!

Also in our neighborhood in paris (7th arrondisement but a 3 minute walk to st. germain des pres in the 6th), I've seen a few nicely groomed Maltese around..one or two, plus a Yorkie or two...so perhaps you can find a good shop for supplies in the 6th, 7th or 16th arrondisements!

Congratulations again!! That's just so cool!!!

My university is in the 7th, so I'm going to try to get an apt. as close to there as possible. Do you go back often? Maybe one day I'll get to meet little miss Bisou! :thumbsup:

Actually there is a good chance of that! How much fun would that be?! If I go for 4-6 weeks, I'll take Bisou with me..but if it's only for 2 weeks, I don't. We go back about 2x a year.

Many congrats also from me, Ashley! That sounds great!

May be you plan a trip to Germany one day! :chili:
You can search for shops in France or Europe for your food and grooming products. I order everything here in Germany because the shipping is definately cheaper! We have many shops here with a huge choice of products!

Thanks! I'm sure I'll venture over to Germany at one point! I think we need to plan a Euro-Maltese Meet-Up! B)

I'll have to get names from you of some good places in Germany I could ship from in case I don't find anything in France. It'd be much cheaper than shipping from the States!

For sure!!:thumbsup:

ETA - I get most of Milo's grooming things and stuff from the states and shipping isn't too bad.

Your both very welcome! Please let me know what products you're looking for! Will share the shop-addresses with you!

Wow, a Euro-Maltese-Meet-Up sounds fantastic! Hopefully we can arrange something!!! :chili:
