One of the major downsides of traveling for such an extended period of time is being away from those you love.
If you know me well, you know that there are two very special girls in my life – Gaby and Kate. These dogs are divas. These dogs are spoiled. These dogs are a very big part of the Cromer family.
Eleven days ago we had to say goodbye to them. They are currently on summer vacation at my parent’s house in Tennessee. (Thank you so much, Dad and Mom.) However, that vacation could turn into an extended vacation.
NORTHchurch is graciously providing us with temporary housing when we move until we sell our house. What a blessing not to be burdened with having to pay two mortgages. The idea is that we will have the opportunity to sell our house and also have plenty of time to find a house in Oklahoma that we really like without rushing either process.
However, there is one major downside. Our girls – Gaby and Kate – will not be able to come to Oklahoma with us when we move. The temporary, transitional housing does not allow for dogs. So the girls will have to stay in Tennessee until two things happen: 1. we must sell our house in Texas and 2. we must buy a house in Oklahoma.
Basically, I am really missing these two beautiful divas…
The girls miss you guys, too. They’re being really good. They love to go outside (Kate loves chasing squirrels) and they really love Dad. They get so excited when he comes home from work. We’ll take really good care of them. Dad got them some new treats today–Loving Pets Gourmet All Natural Premium Duck Filets–from Tractor Supply (it’s kind of like duck jerky). And he got them some more rawhide bones. They are so funny. They don’t like to share. Kate is always stealing Gaby’s rawhide bones, even when they have the same kind. They’re just like 2 small children who don’t like to share. But we love them anyway. They send you and Heather a big slobbery kiss.
I don’t think I could go that long w/o my fur kids. Let’s hope you hurry up and sell your house.
