Hi, I have two american spaniels that I 'adopted' at one year old and the other at five months old, as the original owners (from two different householdds) no longer wanted them due to behavioural issues that only became apparent once they matured - they came from pet shops in Dubai, that I don't think I am permitted to name. They had been sold by the pet shops as puppies with full &quot;pedigree&quot; paperwork and passports. On the inside of the passport is a date written in pencil that is 6 weeks less than the birth date in the passport - the vet told me the pencil mark typically shows the actual birth date and that they would have been vaccinated and brought in to Dubai 6 weeks before they were officially old enough. Aside from that, one became completely blind and had to have both eyes removed as he had primary glaucoma, retinal dysplasia, cataracts and chronic dry-eye in both eyes, and has matured to have fairly poor confirmation.The other has epilepsy and shows agression. I wouldn't buy a puppy from any pet shop - although I love them both to bits, it is upsetting and expensive when they inevitably start to show the signs of sickness and behavioural traits that come with irresponsible breeding. Although expensive, no pet shop could sell puppies at a profit at the price they do if they were sourced from reputable breeders. edited by ChilliChai on 21/01/2015 Hi im new to this forum, i joined a couple minutes ago after reading your post and i want to know how to contact you i need to talk regarding a puppy from a pet store, i dont know if im not being able to find how to pm you or if that option doesnt exist? :/ thanks and please do respond asap! Hi Pk92, Welcome to ExpatWoman.com! You're more than welcome to arrange to meet any other member from our forum at one of our weekly coffee mornings or at our next evening out, which is on October 7th! HTH EW Admin

Adoption in the UAE is possible and legal and not only for UAE nationals. But how complicated depends on your nationality and the nationality of the child to be adopted. There is a integrated medical center in Dubai that offers tons of adoption information and services such as home studies etc. let me know if you need their contact info (not sure if is allowed to post). Hi Goldensand, It is OK to post contact information if you are recommending a service. We do not allow personal details or companies to advertise on the forum. HTH EW Admin

I would love to meet up for coffee, if anyone fancies it. I wouldn't say I'm exactly shy but am when it comes to a bigger group lol Like previously said before, it's a bit hard to organise as you can't msg privately here. Not sure if it is allowed here but if we say we meet in particular place on a give day at given time and each of us holds something to be recognized, is it allowed? Hi ladies We urge our members to arrange to meet other members at our coffee mornings for the first time, and then you can take it from there :) any other efforts to arrange a meet-up via our forum will be removed, as per our forum rules: http://www.expatwoman.com/dubai/monthly_faqs_forum_rules_8392.aspx EW Admin

Thank you everyone. I am really frustrated to see attitude if the owner. I am not letting them enjoy my money, even though it's not a big amount. I have sent email to consumer rights, let's see what happens. @ Rawla, was your issue similar? It's so annoying to see how unethical businesses are flourishing in this country? @admin, Why can't we put business names in our complaints???? Other women should be aware to prevent any such damage to them. Hi smartee, As per our forum rules: - When making comments about companies or organisations, it is understood that sometimes they may be critical and/or negative. If someone is asking for a recommendation there is no need to post who you don't recommend- post about who you do. Please be respectful. Don't make accusations that are personal, unsubstantiated, unfounded, inflammatory, or slanderous. They will be deleted. - If you have a complaint or issue about or with a company or institution your first recourse should be to contact them directly and solve any issues that way. If you don't tell them about any issues that they have- how can they begin to fix them? Read the full rules here: http://www.expatwoman.com/dubai/monthly_faqs_forum_rules_8392.aspx Thanks in advance!

That helps me Adventurer. I'm currently writing my CV. I have a question. I've been a stay at home mom for 8 years. I have a degree in Education and only worked for a year in that profession. In retail for a couple years before that. Should I include my work experiences even though it's many many years ago lol. I guess if I don't I won't have anything to show.
