Well, we are boxing up and will be moving to our new house on Friday.
A couple of things are running through my mind right now.
First, I am so happy that we'll finally have a nice big house and big fenced yard for them to enjoy. I can't wait for them to see it.
However, a couple of bad things are running through my head, mainly about Guinness. This neighborhood we are moving into is the one where he came from. We got him from a couple we are friends with who live one street over from the new house. Their neighborhood is famous for people getting evicted and leaving their dogs to run stray, mostly because they know our friends will rescue strays. Guinness was stray for two months before she rescued him. I guess I'm just worried that it will bother him to be back in the old neighborhood.
Also, something else came to my attention. We are packing boxes and stacking them to get ready for the move. Guinness has been hiding in his crate and I thought it was because of the noise the packing tape dispenser makes. Then Brian said "Honey, he's probably worried that we are going to leave him behind. That's what those previous idiot owners did to him." Just the thought of that breaks my heart.
We are kenneling them on the day of the move with their vet. They have nice new boarding facilities and both dogs REALLY like going to that vet. (Bailey acts like she's going to Disneyworld everytime we go there).
Has anybody else had problems with their pets being upset because of moving? I just wish I could make Guinness understand that we will NEVER UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES leave him behind.
