I'm moving to Northern California!

    … as soon as I can find a job, or my house sells - whichever comes first! Ondrej has switched positions and now has a job at UC Davis so I'm looking for work around Sacramento area or 1/2 hour radius.

    I think Tayda and Lenny will love the weather!

    I'm excited, but boy am I SICK of moving! I'm like Where's Waldo. My parents have lived in the same house for the last 32 years and I have moved 4 times in the last 2 years. Soon to be 5. I confuse them. Too bad I will have to leave my cushy CR job... I quite like it.

    So I will soon (hopefully) join the ranks of the NorCal B-owners! As things get closer I'll be putting feelers out there for good vet and pet sitter recommendations!

    If any Bforum members out there know of Mechanical Engineering positions or Medical Device positions in the Sacramento area - PM me!

    A lot of the lure course events take place near Sacramento too.

    My husband works for UCD and we both graduated from UCD. I live in Woodland, which is an easy 10 minute commute to Davis and about 20 minutes to Sacramento. Feel free to email me if you have any questions about the area.

    Thanks Ivoss! Ondrej is renting a room in the Stonegate community right now in Davis, but when I get out there we'll look for a place of our own! He was looking in Woodland also, but this place in Stonegate let him sign a 3 month lease so that seemed to be better for the situation…

    One thing that surprised me is he said that there are bikers everywhere but no one wears helmets! Yikes! I don't ride 10 feet w/o my helmet!

    Most of the professors wear helmets but most of the students don't. Stonegate is nice, have had friends that rented there.

    Very cool! :) My ex-vet (now retired) graduated from UC Davis and she took very good care of my first B…

    Even though we're not close to the UC Davis area, hopefully we'll get a chance to meet - maybe some B meetup a little south of there at some future time... (Perhaps Tayda and Lenny can get Cosmo to yodel :p)

    On another note, it's Dungeness Crab season here so if Ondrej likes seafood, he should get some at the grocery store (it's a very sweet crab)... :D

    I've made a lot of trips around Sacramento. There are a lot of nice areas there. The climate is a lot more temperate than CT. Good luck in The Golden State!

    Moving to Savannah

    @Andrew: Thanks for the well wishes!! And Nicki & Robyn; y'all won't even notice I'm gone, especially when we're sitting on the beach drinking mai tais :) We're in Savannah now. I needed to come down to look at properties in person for renting. I brought Callie & Lola with me because I thought it would be easier just to have them than to arrange getting them to the breeder to keep them while I was out of town for only 1 night. Not many Savannah hotels allow dogs, so we ended up in a really posh hotel called The Mansion on Forsyth. The entire staff is very sweet to the girls, greets them and pets them. My heart broke open & fell on the floor when we met a 3 year old in a stroller in the lobby. She obviously has a dog at home, and was very happy to meet Callie & Lola. She grabbed Callie's face and smooshed it around, and although it wasn't painful to Callie, I'm sure it was annoying. She just sat there and let the girl love all over her, very patiently and sweetly. Lola even let the little girl pet her a little, which is a HUGE deal for Lola!! She is so scared of kids & usually growls & gets a little defensive & hides behind me. I've been working with her by making sure every little kid we meet gives her treats & she gets praise, so I was so happy to see Lola have a positive reaction to a child. We got into the room & Callie & Lola instantly jumped on the fluffy king size bed (Callie is currently building a nest in the pillows; always where she goes when we get in a hotel). Then they ran to investigate the window. We're on the ground floor looking onto a fairly busy sidewalk & road, with lots to see. The window is only 2 feet off the ground, with a ledge big enough for them to sit on. I jumped in the shower & when I got out 20 minutes later, they were both staring out the window, mesmerized with all the activity outdoors. We got in a good walk in the square across the street from our hotel, and they have been so patient with all the crate time they've logged today (5 hours in the car, plus several hours while I was looking at apartments and then again when i went out for dinner & drinks). Its supposed to rain tomorrow, but if it doesn't we may meet up with some Ibizan friends, or maybe go to dog friendly Fort Pulaski & a dog friendly restaurant (apparently Savannah is VERY dog friendly!!! Yay!) I'm so glad I brought them with me. They really make the trip that much better, rather than more stressful. I have stayed at the Mansion before it is really a funky boutique hotel for being in an old southern city like Savannah. So if your there, I guess we won't see you at lure coursing practice tomorrow.

    Actually - I posted it on the Podengo group - lots of members in the area and looks like might be something from one of the hunt packs (or a golden GSD mix) Maybe one of them will bite.

    @JazzysMom: …but God and Rielly showed her who is really in control -- he was born almost exactly 24 hours before the scheduled C-section! hee hee I told her, 'Welcome to parenthood. Now you know exactly how much control you have over your life. " hee Now that is funny!;)
