Rex is here!!

On December 17th Rex finally arrived here in Germany!! It was a very long and challenging process that couldn't have be accomplished without Tyler, my Dad, my grandparents, Luann, Jenny, and Melanie. It was confusing process but SO WORTH IT! It is so nice to have him here!

He landed here bright and early at about 930am and we arrived at the airport early to figure out where we need to pick him up from. We ended up getting him from the cargo area (first time ever doing something like that) and paid about 130 euros in fees. Melanie was such a huge help because she was able to seamlessly communicate with everyone (because she speaks German). I am sure it would have worked out in English since everyone seemed to speak it but it was a major stress relief to have her there to help out.

We had to run around between buildings, pay different fees, and then finally were told to wait outside and they would bring him out.

Rex came in with a bunch of fish and little baby chicks.

so many fishes.

and massive baby birdy crates.

this is a little closer and you can kinda see the birdies.

the warehouse behind us was rapidly beginning to fill up
with little baby birdies.

Once they brought Rexy out and I saw him he was HUGE. He had gained a lot of weight and grew a bit. I walked him around a little bit, he went on a potty break, and then we attempted to take apart the kennel. It was way bigger than we thought and the attendant that brought him out helped Jenny, Melanie, and I take it apart and put it in Jenny's SUV.  It had to be split into halves and her seats had to be folded down.

After we left the airport we all stopped by the nearby mall for some Chipotle. I haven't had it since the states and, with there being one in Frankfurt, I totally wanted to stop for lunch. We brought Rex into the mall with us and he behaved great!

Then after that we dropped Melanie off at school and headed back to Baumholder. Rex has been doing great though. He and Kaela get along pretty well- she just likes to dominate or molest him a lot, NBD lol. Poor guy.

They both played well with Patty's dog Max, just ganged up on him a bit, poor fella.
