Cooper arrived last Friday into Jakarta. We were unsure all the way up until his arrival whether he needs to be quarantined. Indonesia's equivalent of MAF is known to be very erm... "flexible" when it comes to animal quarantine. I've been told the rule is enforced randomly, depending on the officer on duty and what mood he is in. Alternatively, one could facilitate the early release by greasing the palms of certain officers. I have to admit that we did enquire the amount of payment needed to faciliate this particular transaction and was told that it is 600USD. It's a little excessive considering how the quarantine officers probably earn about 100USD per month. We decided that Cooper can rough it out and stay in quarantine for 2 weeks. That boy's gotta learn that life isn't all walks and doggy bones! I visited him today and he did look a little sad in his tiny kennel. Oh well... suck it up boy!
Stephen, the softie that he is, felt bad for the Doopsie and worked a little magic today and managed to negotiate an early release for the brat of a dog! Hoorah! Operation Free Cooper is a success! He's expected to arrive tomorrow just before lunch. Ooooooo can't wait!
