Nabed by the customs beagle

We are in New Zealand this week and our postings have been a bit slow as we have had some limited access. When we arrived in the Auckland airport over the weekend we had two food bags with us that needed to be consolidated before we went through customs to get rid of the contra ban meats, chesses and fruits. Most airport give you an option to dispose of the dreaded contra ban items before going to get your luggage but either we didn't see it or that isn't an option in Auckland. Once past the first screening and while waiting for our baggage, I heard someone yelling "Sit, Kwiss, good girl." And a lot more use of the name Kwis. I started looking around cause it sounded like my name but no, it was a customs beagle dog going crazy over our two food bags. We had to show the food to the customs lady and the declaration card and she took the suspect meat, cheeses and fruits. Then Kwis, the sniffing beagle spent some time sniffing around Rachel's bag. Rachel was food free but her bag was used to carry the food a few days before so the customs lady said, "oh, ok she must just smell like meat then." Good times in the Auckland airport.
