Well . . you may remember my husband lost his government contract after more than 20 yrs as a Flight Simulator tech. and has been out of work for over 2 months now. We had an offier in Ohio a while back but have been holding out for a local position as I have always lived in Georgia with daughters, grandkids and elderly mother here also . . and nursing job of 21 yrs. But he got a second call for a position in Ohio and had no choice but to accept. He will be leaving May 1st and if our house sells as we are praying it will, Sami, Carley and I will be leaving to join him the end of June.
I have had 3 days of crying and feel quite dehydrated . . frightened . . angry . . etc. Now that I have had a little grief time . . I feel a wee bit better. This is a high snow state and we literally get NO snow here ever. So this will be a hugh challenge for me as I own very few long sleeve blouses and 1 coat . . we never need them! My daughters are in shambles . . but being very supportive on the exterior for me . . bless them.
Sami and Carley both hate the extreme heat of summers here . . their black coats just absorb the heat and they always choose shady areas in the yard and avoid the blazzing sun as much as possible. They have never seen snow but I am anticipating they will adapt much better than me!! Sami is a very poor car traveler and drools and vomits if in a car more than 20 minutes. I will visit the vet and ask for recommendations about this as it is an 8 to 10 hr drive. We plan to fold down the back seat of my car and crate them separately but have them together with me. I DRED this drive and am thinking the vet will recommend sedation of some sort. I have thought about not feeding him before we leave . . this will be a LONG fast for him and would love any recommendations anyone would have. I hate for him to be sedated and sick at the same time . . and we will make every 2 hr stops . . so I would really like for him to be alert enough to pee or poo . . HELP
