Moving soon & hating relatives.
14 years ago
So almost 8yrs ago Zid and I moved to RI because his relatives paid 1/2 down on a house for us. We moved from Cali (where my family is) back to where Zid was from like 3500mi away. We were under the impression the house was OURS (seeing as how they told us it was). I moved there with 4 dogs, tho lost a couple after being there 7mos. I lost another back in 2006 which left me with my last remaining dog who is now 11.5yrs.
So being that my only dog is 11.5yrs old I decided I wanted to get back into dog showing and lure coursing which meant that it was time to get a new pup. I've had my new pup and he's now 5 1/2 mos. I didn't bother telling them since I know they are not doggie people and it's our house so why do I need to?
Well about 2-3 wks ago they found out about my new pup. We get screamed at for about 45mins over the phone. A couple days later she claims 'I don't like staying mad so please come over so we can discuss this dog situation'. So Kat and I go over and leave Zid at home with the dogs. She tells me she doesn't understand why anyone would need more than 1 dog (all her dogs were back yard decorations not allowed in the house. She is OCD about cleanliness).
So after not really getting anywhere with them in this discussion, they say we can all compromise on you having 2 dogs MAX. You can't have another till Shiner dies and you're not allowed to breed dogs. Oh and if you use your dog at stud he MUST leave the house to be bred, you can't allow any females to come to him.
I'm like WTF?! Who are you to decide how I can or can't live my life in a house you promised was OURS?! Dogs are some of the few bright spots in my life. Dog showing and dog activities was what I was happy doing, but hadn't been able to do for almost 8yrs since moving to RI. Now since Kat is with us that has changed and I'm able to start doing what I loved again.
So...FUCK YOU RELATIVES!!!!! We're moving to TX ASAP. Already started packing. Just need to finish packing and finish the repair work Kat had started on the house. Hoping to be out of here maybe in June sometime?

Overall TX has many, many more opportunities for us. I can have whatever dogs I want, breed if I choose ect. Also in Austin not to far away, Zid has a Lymphedema center (Very few docs in this area know how to treat him.) and also in Austin there are more than a handful of Transgender therapists! I'll be able to get help finally and start my road to transition
In a way it's a blessing, but it sucks having to leave family with feelings like this.
Otherwise all sounds for the better honestly for ya'll!
