We have found a cute little cottage to rent that will allow Schatzie and me to live there. It's been a real challenge finding housing, so we are glad we can finally cross that one off our list.
Since we now have a roof over our head, mom was able to make our flight arrangements. We are driving to the west coast, so that way we will only have a 5 hour trip in our kennels.Tomorrow mom has to submit all of our necessary paper work and green papers to the State of Hawaii allowing us to be able to enter the state. It's a crazy amount of extra work to get furkids into the state but rest assured it's going to be well worth it.
Mom went shopping the other day for a couple of harnesses for me and Schatzie to use for the road portion of the trip. When she got home she had a bag of goodies and I love to snoop and guess what I found? Four, yes, I said four packages of these crazy purple boots or PAWZ--their official name!! Mom found them at Target on clearance and they were less than HALF the price that she finds at the local *petdumb* store!!
She said we got lots of boots, cuz in Hawaii they have lots of RED dirt and when that dirt gets wet it makes really messy red mud and on Kauai it RAINS a lot, so I am figuring that we will be wearing our boots frequently!! OH JOY!!
Four packs, really mom!!
see the box on the left....well it has most of our dog necessities in there, I personally checked to make sure mom got all the right stuff in there (ya even the boots:)
All this packing is exhausting...let me know if you need me okay mom!!

You can never have too many boots! lee and phod
ReplyDeleteOMD - Hawaiii? Have you talked to Sugar? She was there for a year. Packing is the toughest, but who an adventure!
ReplyDeletecongrats on getting a house to live in! yay!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you've found a place to call home! I know there's so much to do, and I've no doubt all the pieces will keep coming together as they seem to be!
ReplyDeleteYes to purple PAWZ. The red dirt absolutely made my mom nuts. It surely caused irritations on my skin. Swimming in the ocean made it feel better temporary. There were no PAWZ in Maui not sure in Kuai so you might want to buy more. Make sure all the papers are signed so the dogs can start the home quarantine time. Wish you the best. Golden Woofs
ReplyDeleteI bet it's all exhausting but think of the dream come true at the end!
ReplyDeleteGlad you found a place to call home. :)
ReplyDeleteBe safe!
It's okay gracie... the boots are worth it... it will be nice to have you all back in Hawaii again... I soooooo hope i get to see you! xoxoxo
ReplyDeleteIf you could see my face it would be lime green with envy. We spent 10 extraordinary days on Kauai last summer and I dream about going back to live for a year or two someday. It might be busy right now but will be awesome once you are there. Have you been there before? If not, tell your mom : Here's one tip: the northern end of the island is much rainier than the southern end. You can literally drive to nice weather by going south if you need sunshine! Tip #2 from a tourist: try the poke (beats sushi to heck and back) and shaved ice (get the kind with ice cream).
ReplyDeleteLucky you! Can't wait to hear about it!
Wow, how exciting! I had to fly almost 9 hours from Amsterdam to Chicago but we all survived...you will do fine. My sister has the same purple paws. She only wears one because of her arthritis issue and dragging her one paw. They work pretty well but her claws keep poking through after a few hours but that may be from her dragging the paw. Put some baby powder in them before you wear them. We got that tip from Sugar who wears them all the time. Think of all the beach time, you are one lucky dog!
ReplyDeleteso now you will look just like Sugar does in her purple boots that she wore in Hawaii and now in Chicago.... i do hope you will take an anxiety pill for that 5 hour flight... i will pray for your move and that flight...
ReplyDeleteYou will look great in those purple boots! Note to The Mom: let us know how the selection of personal items goes. We are planning a big move (2000km / 1242miles) and are already thinking about what is not going. No moving truck, only a van and a trailer.
ReplyDeleteAs others have said, the move you are planning will be fantastic once it's done! What an adventure!
Packing is exhausting but you'll have plenty of time to relax on the island.
ReplyDeletePurple booties, how can you not be thrilled about that? LOL
Oh my gosh, I remember that red mud when we visited Kauai! We encountered a lot of it on one hike and it was SLIPPERY!
ReplyDeleteI hope the packing and traveling goes well. Congrats on finding a cottage! A cottage in Kauai! Sounds so idyllic!
Aw, you'll be sporting a pair like Sugar now! Cute! Wow, what a huge undertaking! Sounds like you have it all under control though! Good luck!!
ReplyDeleteWow, purple PAWZ. You're going to be one stylish dog for sure! We should check our local Target to see if PAWZ are on clearance too.
ReplyDeleteSo happy you found a place. I'm sure you will get use to those boots, eventually.
ReplyDeleteKelsey
Have a safe trip! We look forward to hearing about your adventures in Hawaii.
ReplyDeleteSam
What an exciting new adventure for you all, best of luck!
