t-4d: Vamos a Buenos Aires

Today was moving day. We were moving from Córdoba to Buenos Aires (700 km) using the services of Hipomóvil - Transporte de Mascotas. Usually they transport pets from one Argentine city to the next. But we paid for an exclusive driver who did not only take La Gina, but all three of us together with all the luggage. We actually had so much luggage with us, that we needed about 1h to get everything inside and on top of the Kangoo.

Anyway,  all the stuff fit in (or on top of) the Kangoo. Gina was super nervous and more than stressed. It was not very easy to handle her. Generally speaking she has a tendency to keep her whole pack with her. She does not really like it,  if someone is leaving. That makes packing the car a little tough,  because of course P. and I have to go back and forth separately. So we had a hard time holding Gina back from following either P. or myself.

Finally we left. Gina was still very nervous. She couldn't stay in her bag, but had to sit in my lap to look out of the window. But after reaching the highway,  she was getting pretty calm. She went to her bag and just rested. Every 2hrs we were taking a break, walking her. But due to all the stress she was not able to accept any food or water.


We arrived safe and sound after driving for about 10hrs. Gina was super excited to get off the car and walk the streets of Buenos Aires. We were basically tired. On our return Gina was finally able to drink and she drank a lot. But due to all the excitement and stress she apparently was not able to control her bodily functions anymore. So all the water she just drank reappeared as a rather big lake in the middle of the hallway. I was not too angry with though. She suffered a lot and actually behaved very good.

So here we are in Buenos Aires.
