The Angeleno Girl becomes a Viennese Girl

Today it was really time that Daisy was going to get her Austrian Dog License. You have a period of 2 weeks in which you're supposed to register your dog. That period was almost over. I had checked on those regulations even before I started the entire relocation process. The rules state that the dog has to be registered where you spend the majority of your time. In my case that was my parents house. So I thought that should be a piece of cake. Well, not so quick!
Yesterday I submitted the online dog registration with the city of St. Poelten. I thought that they were going to process the papeerwork and send the dog tag along with the invoice for the registration. Well, that was a good plan...but didn't quite work out that way. A couple of hours lAter I got a phone call from the city telling me that they can't register the dog, since I'm officially registered in Vienna...therefore the dog needs to be registered there. I checked with the city of Vienna and I wasn't quit sure if I would make it in time. So the entire thing had ti wait till today.
I could have done the entire registration online, but that would have meant the city sends the dog tag and the invoice to my address in Vienn and I ha r to get it from there and then pay the invoice before the entire registration process is complete. On the other hand if I go personally to the 'MA 6', which does the dog licensing I can pay it there cash and take the dog tag with me right away. That just seemed to be the easier way. So I drove to Vienna, pRked in the Pstk & Ride in Wien-Huetteldorf, took the Subway and 1 Tram to 'MA 6' at the 'Magistratische Bezirksamt 6 & 7'. The cashier at the 'MA 6' directed me to the room next door where a clerk wrote down my information. Just my personal information, the dogs breed and the microchip number. I was pleasantly surprised that the city didn't require any import papers, although I had brought them with me just as a precaution. Then she handed me the dog tag and I paid the dog licensing fee of € 43.60 and I was done with the entire thing. Driving back and forth and dealing with the authorities was done in about 2 1/2 hours. The city clerks were friendly, very helpful and easy to deal with. That's definitely a A++ experience in my book!
