Ol's dad seems to think it looks like a spider's doing.. any ideas?? Sounds like a flea to me. Haven't had to deal with them since I moved back to Canada, thankfully, but they are wily little creatures. I mean it could be a spider, but that seems unlikely. But they may not even be on the doggie, they may have wandered in with him and then jumped ship. In New Zealand I often had to battle them and I never had a pet over there. I agree with Trailmix, sounds like fleas. Sometimes they can be sooo hard to see (they are so flipping fast!) *BUT* they usually don't bite humans unless they are unable to feed from their source of food (unfortunately your pup) so...unless you have a major infestation, it could be spiders. EW! Do you know I read somewhere that we swallow like 10 spiders a year in our sleep?! I doubt it's true but you never know!

Canada	Long, Strange Journey	Dante.... I read your post shortly after you posted it but was on my way out and was unable to reply until now. First...((((((((((((DANTE)))))))))))) Sending you big hugs! I am so sorry about the loss of your Mom. Going through this process is so stressful and to have something like that happen during this time or any time....well....my heart goes out to you. May she rest in peace. As for your interview, don't sweat it. You are on an amazing website. VJ prepares thousands of couples for the interview and has so much information about what the procedure is and how the interview is conducted. My interview this past June went so well, literally stress free. It was more stressful getting to Montreal than it was the actual interview. Go over the checklists (Many people have posted them all over this site) and just be prepared. If you want to read my interview review, just click on my timeline, it's there. I wish you so much luck and a quick reunion with your love. This ride is crazy, long, hectic and amazing. I cherish my husband every single day, I know how hard we worked to be together and I tell him how thankful I am for him all the time. Happy holidays and pre-congrats on your interview, I'm sure you will pass with flying colours. *hugs* ~Laura	~Laura and Nick~	Female	Canada	2008-12-16 15:34:00

Canada	Considering Abondoning it all	QUOTE (DeadPoolX @ Dec 18 2008, 04:48 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Brad, I'm sure you've considered this, but what about "couples therapy?" Considering the amount of work, time and effort (not to mention love) that's gone into the entire process, I'd strongly suggest looking into a psychologist -- for the both of you. Moving to another country and then going to "living together" from "visiting every so often" is a major change. Marriage can be difficult enough without the strain of immigration and adjusting to a new environment. Husbands and wives argue and more often than they'd like. Usually (but not always) these conflicts are over relatively unimportant things. My wife and I tend to think alike in many ways, but there are some aspects in which we completely disagree. She's far more liberal than I am. While I would never call myself a Republican, I am very conservative on some issues (most notably in the area of finance). Couple this with the fact my wife can be quite sensitive and I'm not (hardly a surprise there, right? ), there's bound to be some misunderstanding and arguments. I don't know the details of your marriage; however, I do know that over 60% of marriages fail due to communication issues. Maybe this isn't a problem for you and wife, but I'd seek outside help. Family and friends aren't objective and while we may mean well on here, we've only heard one side of the story and lack any other insight into your life. If you absolutely feel that your marriage can't be saved, then yes, the best thing to do would be to leave the United States. However, I'd give this some serious thought. Once you leave and are gone beyond the limitations set by USCIS, you'll once again become a visitor (even if you and your wife do reconcile). and I third it. The first year of marriage is by far the hardest (take it from me, I really really know)....then pile on all the moving and immigration stuff....super hard. I wish you much luck Brad...in the end you have to do what is right for you. Best of luck with everything.	~Laura and Nick~	Female	Canada	2008-12-18 17:52:00

When I spoke to my daughter earlier and sang "I'll be home for Christmas....", she was like really, honest, for sure...and I said as long as those documents arrive in the mail before the 23rd when we plan on leaving, yes Kelsie - I'll be there. I heard my sister in the background say.."Now I have to go buy 2 more gifts." When I read you had gotten your AP approved I was so thrilled...I literally yelled at Nick "KELLY GOT HER AP!
