Awful news...

**dab_20** · 07-04-2006, 05:07 PM

I'm moving to SLC, Utah.

I'm soooo angry and I cried for such a long time today when my mom told me. I won't be able to see my dad barely ever, I'm so sad. We have to leave Sammy with my dad, because we will be moving in with my aunt. Her dog is blind and deaf and Sam is too hyper for him. I feel awful and guilty and sad all at the same time. Molli and Sam will miss each other so much and I'm afraid Sam will think we abandoned him. He will be able to come live with us once we get our own house. That may take months.

I don't know what to think right now. Just thought I'd tell you all. I might not be able to come on for a half a year. We are leaving in 4 weeks.

Gosh, I'm sorry you have to make such a transition that will not include your Dad or Sammy.

I hope that your mother will find a suitable home in short time. Why won't you be able to visit Pet Talk once you arrive at your Aunt's home?

Hugs to you!!!!

Because they don't have a computer and we won't be setting ours up until we have our own home.

Thanks.

I am so very sorry. I know how it feels to have your life turned upside down within moments by a few words. It will be hard, but you will get through it and find things that you really enjoy again. These kinds of things are never easy. You will feel pain and that's natural, don't feel bad about that. All your friends at PT will be waiting when you're able to get back on.

{{hugs}} to you.

Oh, I see.

Maybe that isn't something that has been " cast in stone"

Perhaps a few weeks after you get there, your Mother might agree to opening an account with another provider. Your Mother is also under some heavy stress as well. Sorry to learn of your dilema.

Do you know any one in Salt Lake city , Utah?, besides your Aunt?

Maybe there's a public library near your aunt's house where you can use the computers? Gary (catmandu) used to rely on library computers to visit PT. It won't make up for missing your dad and Sammy, but maybe you'll be able to keep in touch with PTers.

Oh, Danielle. I will miss you around PT so much. I have never moved and don't know what you are going through. At least, you'll be able to get Sam once you get your own house, and you will still have Molly. ((HUGS)) PM me if you EVER need to talk. Good luck. I can't wait to see you back on PT!

Just have to tell you that I LOVE those pictures of Sassy!!! Especially the one where she is wearing that scarf!!!! Thank-you !!!!! She is so sweet to look at.

As to moving, I had to move from my "little" home town, a long, long, long time ago. I was devastated!!! My parents moved out into the country, miles away. No more phone calls , as, long distance was quite clostly then.

I feel dab20's agony . I sure do wish her all the best. After reading the posts, I can see that she has some real close friends on Pet Talk. You people are very supportive . Your posts are nice!!!!

What a thing to experiance... I am so sorry for you. I can't even imagine what it must feel like to be in your situation.
Things will work out, though. I will miss seeing those two dogs of yours here on PT (and your other pets, also). And I'm sure Sammy will understand, just think of how happy he'll be once you do get settled into your new house in Utah.
(((hugs)))

Just my cousins who've already graduated. I was born there, and lived there until I was 5, but don't really remember any friends.

Thanks everyone for such comforting thoughts and words, I sure will miss you all.

EDIT: Just wondering... does the vet fax information about Molli and Sammy to their new vet? Should I tell our old vet that we are moving, but Sammy will be staying here for a couple months?

**Dorothy39** · 07-05-2006, 03:09 PM

I'm certain that your Vet will provide Molli and Sammy's records to your future Vet. You might call your Vet and explain the situation to find out what their procedures are.

How often to you communitcate with your older cousins? Do they live nearby? You have so much on your mind, I can tell. These are trying times for sure, and , too often uncontrollable when we are so young.

Keep your chin up Dab20, you will adjust, and when you get back online, in your new home,(hey, maybe in your Aunt's home)

come on back to Pet Talk and tell us all about Salt Lake City!!!! I've never been out West. So be sure to post some pictures!!!

We'll keep our light on for you!!!!
