It was a 'no pets' rental, but my MIL knows EVERYONE (very small town) and my wife grew up here....so we got some special benefits! We have a total of 3 dogs plus the 6 parrots....so it really was a challenge! All but one of the parrots is small, though, and none are destructive at all. Grim got housebroken JUST as we moved (thank you for small favors!!) so that was great! The old gal is fully dependable as long as she isn't left too long, and the pug can hold it as long as Grim can. The only downside is that if any damage is done, then it would be bad for my MIL. We did pay an extra deposit for the pets, though. My MIL was able to go transfer the electric, gas, and water into my wife's name for us, so that was good, too. We were without internet for over a week, though. I'm disappointed that the new Ultimate Leash I got Grim ended up in a box somewhere. That I need to find very soon. I also need to get his new large kennel inside. His old one is really getting too small quickly. I've just been so sick that I can't go dig it out. It's really heavy, too. Tomorrow night when my wife gets off work that's the first thing to be done... get the big kennel in the house. I really, really love my boy. I still can't wait to see him when I get up, and hate to put him to bed.

He's becoming so grow up and handsome! Glad the move is mostly done and that you hopefully won't have to stay in that house for too long.

He's a gorgeous boy No wonder you're proud of him!!

It sounds like he makes you so happy, it's really nice reading your posts and how much you enjoy having him - he's a lucky dog!

good luck with the new house. i hope you feel
better soon. i hate moving. when i move i make
sure there's plenty of help (10 people minimal).
i always have an even number of people to help
because you need 2 people, 4 people for an item.
i label the boxes so they can be put in the appropriate
rooms. you can put things away later but you don't
have to search for things. your dog settled in nicely
and learned a new behaviour, he lets himself out.
i wouldn't be surprised if he tries to let himself in.

Thank you Mooch and Carriesue! I do enjoy having him each and every day!

doggiedad- don't I know it!! Going to the ER today to hopefully get the rest of my illness under control. Our last move we had a bunch of help. This time I didn't handle it. We only had 2 people for the first Uhaul move, then we had no one. NOT pretty! I guess boxes weren't labeled, and the bedroom boxes that were didn't get put in there because our furniture took up nearly the whole room. I moved a LOT as a kid, so I knew how to do it right, but couldn't help. I gave instructions, but they weren't followed. I got a lot of apologies from my wife, but we're going to be digging things out for a long time now.
