Dog From NE to Eire ~ £200 Offered

[Guest Ditch_Shitter]

Because not all Truckers, Relatives, Holiday Makers or what ever Read the Running Dogs section ..... And because I'm Absolutely F*cking Desperate!!!

 

Boy oh boy, did the Greyhound Carrier f*ck me over!!! Having had his mate assure me they'd be within thirty miles of my door, I then get a call to say the Dog's standing next to the motor. If they put him in it, he'll be in Belfast at midnight or else down the east coast of Eire at 9am the next day! Either way, involving a round trip of hundreds of miles, for me, in a f*cking taxi! Dog's Still in uk and the situation's getting critical!

 

Ok. So I can just about come up with £200 cash. If I could get more, I would. Can't imagine what good yet more money would do though. Only way I know that a Dog can come into Eire is inside a motor. Can't just Walk one onto a ferry and have it sit. Could do that, he'd be here now. My mate Diggest made sterling efforts in that direction.

 

So, there it is. What more can I say? If anyone knows anyone who's coming from the North East of england, in a vehicle, and could fetch a Dog to Leitrim ~ or at least a neighbouring county! But Not f*cking Dublin or Belfast! ~ I'll give them £200 for their trouble.

 

The Real sickener to all this? As I ranted and raved to a taxi driver about all this today, he said he could get me to Belfast for 150 Euro! Effectively meaning, for £200, I could have shot up there and collected the Dog anyway! AND paid the damn carrier! But You try knowing that, off the top of ye head, when ye get a phone call out of the blue and start geting told ye have a Gun to ye head!

 

I am SO f*cking gutted!!!

HOPE YOU CAN WORK SOMETHING OUT

 

couldn't you fly over and take the dog back on the train and then as a foot passenger on a ferry??

 

 

years ago my brother worked in southern ireland....it nearly killed him, so i came over in a van and rescued him and his dogs and ferrets......anyway on the way back from Eire to England there was a chap on the ferry as a foot passenger with two greyhounds he had been out to buy and was bringing back , he had no car and was meeting either a friend with a car or his own car he had left at the ferry port in Stranraer (i cant recall which) either way he took two dogs on as "foot passengers" couldn't you meet the dog at the ferry port this side ,i think train companies will convey dogs if they are in an appropriate cage or there may be someone who could help that far?

 

good luck the above was just suggestions....it may help you think of a solution and i apologise if you have investigated those possibilities

Cheers, mate. But I think " Years ago " about said it. Years ago a lot of things, eh?

 

No. Diggist found he could stroll over here, as a foot passenger, on the ferry for £35 or less. Attatch a rampant, uncontrolled child? No problemmo. But put a well behaved Dog into the equation? All hell breaks loose. It Has To be inside a vehicle before boarding and stay there, unattended, till that vehicle touches Irish soil again.

 

I too hope I can 'Work something out' I So hope so.

Irish ferries have kennels that you can use to transport your dog over if your a foot passenger.
