So we just moved a few weeks ago. Some of you may remember when I was having problems with my neighbor before. They hated animals and moved in a couple of years after we did. We have 3 horses, 3 goats, the 5 dogs, and a cat. Well long story short, he got us in trouble for not having enough acreage for our horses, and we had no idea that we didnt because our realtor told us he did his homework when we were buying the house and we were fine. So we find another house, just get moved in (well, at least half way so far) and I call today to get the process going on my kennel license. I had called before hand and they had said that we would be fine, we are in the country, not in city limits, and it was all good. Today I call, and they said we need 10 acres!!! We have 5 1/2, 2 leased from the neighbor for the horses. I cannot unbuy my house. I cannot get a kennel license. 4 of my 5 dogs are staying with my mom until I could get things figured out, but my neighbors here
were unhappy when they found out we have 3 horses and 5 dogs, even though they have a large dog and a horse. I am just so unhappy right now. I have been trying to be so positive with this change, but it has been one thing after another. How do I choose between my dogs?? I have had Cleo, Joe, and Lola the longest. Then Diesel and Lily. Cleo is the most attached to me, Lola is totally hooked on dh. Joe I think would prefer to be an only dog. He doesn't play much with the others, and gets jealous easily. My grandma has his brother, and my aunt always rants on how she wants one just like him. So there is a possibility. Then there is the 2 yorkies. Keeping Cleo and Lola, I could only keep one of them. On top of the fact that I LOVE them, I also got them to breed as well. I am thinking I could find another home for Diesel, and have a contract that I could still use him to breed? I don't know, I am just so upset by this right now. Already we have had the basement flood from a burst pipe, the garbage disposal went out, and the pesky neighbors that seemed like they were sent from heaven when we first met them turned out to be quite the opposite.
It just seems like everything is against us right now. In fact, I was so upset yesterday because I had made a deposit in my checking account the day before, and because it was after 2, it didn't post until the next day, and everything that went through that day overdrafted, over $300 in fees!!! My bank has never done that! And I have a house payment next week, electric bill, and 6 kids to feed! I went to the bank, and the lady was understanding that helped me, and even took a copy of my receipt that I got at the bank that stated that my account was in good standing when I made the deposit, but whoever was higher above her would not approve it to reverse the fees. I don't even know how I drove home through the tears.
I am just having one of those days where I just want to run away. I don't mean from my family, I want to take them with me and just run, but that won't help. And I would never really do it. I am just so overwhelmed with unpacked boxes, no room to put anything, the basement needs to finished for more bedrooms asap, all that money being taken from my account, and now needing to rehome 2 of my dogs.
I seriously need a lot of prayer to get through this. It just feels like the world is falling out from under me.
