Sorry I have been absent for a week ~Update~
Permalink  

My home internet service is down again for over a week and they don't expect it up and running until Monday. The joys of living on a little island, for another few weeks anyway. I went to look at that place on Tuesday and I have gone down 3 times to see this place, she finally let me in to see it and told me they will now not be taking my dog, because the people before me let their dog trash the place. So seriously I waited 3 weeks to get into this one and only place I could find that would take a big german shepherd. I am not happy and have to give up my 9 year old dog now! Ever since I left my exAH 2 years ago I feel like I have had to give up so much, 2 horses and a dog and cat and I kept 1 dog and 1 cat and my home with many material posessions. Now I have to lose my dog that I have had the longest and it hits me deep. I have no choice because I have a job where I am moving and gave notice to my jobs here and my landlord has new people coming in after me. My 14 year old is signed up for high school in the new place. I am excited about lots of things regarding this move, but this took the wind out from my sails. I do need to get away from my exAH and his parents, but I am feeling a bit pissed about how life just isn't fair at times!

I didn't take that place because I was so pissed and on the same day I found another place that was nicer, but cost the same and my 14 year old was excited becuase it was bigger than the other place and close to her high school. The place takes dogs, but get this not german shepherds, pit bulls, dobermans or rottweilers because of their insurance policy. So I have a lot coming at me and a big move and well I am trying to figure out how to do it all and give up my beloved pet. I have been walking around pretty pissy lately and with low energy. I know it will all work out in the long run, but in the short scope of things I am getting very frustrated. Then the internet going out for over a week and taking away a huge outlet for me, well it doesn't help. I know life could be much worse, but I am not happy about how some things are going right now. Sending you all love and support on your journey's!!!!

I can understand. I think its pretty mean of the landlord to opt out of what they promised you.  I did find a place that took my dogs in the end.

I had to board them with the ex A for a while though and that didn't go well.

I wouldn't jump to it just yet.  I certainly wouldn't take somewhere because I was desperate.  Things can be negotiated.

I've heard the insurance policy saga before.  I have two dogs and one cat and found a place.  I can't say it was easy. I know it won't be easy going on but I did it.  It is possible.

Maresie.

have you gone on cl and advertised for a home for you and your kids and dog?>

That is where I found the best tenants.

Maybe get a bunch of great refs on your dog, offer a big fee for him. I gave mine $400. They had it as a deposit I said NO you keep that for allowing my babies!

Is there someone who could keep it till you find a place he can be?

Just giving you ideas.

I know where you are! You are doing great. You don't have to be strong all the time either you know!

Losing internet is hard, been there. I always feel weird inside when its gone. Well many of our friends are in that wire! lol

Sending you hugs and hugs, wish I could help you move! deb

Oh, how I know what it is like to be without Internet. When I was, I kept telling myself it was a wonderful opportunity to practice "what is."

I also ask myself "What is the lesson(s)? I realize how difficult it is, especially when it comes to beloved animals. Trust, trust, trust your HP. Tell your negative thoughts to take a hike
