I just wanted to tell you that my husband was here a year before we decided to take our beloved chocolate lab to Qatar. Although he was an indoor dog, the summers here are brutal and it was tough on our dog.

I would recommend coming here and getting a "feel" for this place before bringing a dog. Perhaps, after seeing where you will be living and getting adjusted yourselves, you can decide whether to get your pooch. There is an adoption agency here and I'm sure that there are pets here that would love to be your new companion.

To get a better idea about deciding whether to bring a pet or not, you can go to the SEARCH button to read previous postings on this subject.

Much luck to you and your husband. Safe travels.
