Yes, the doggies have presented a problem as most communities allow only 2, some none. We fully understand their reasons. We did get a positive response from our current #1 this afternoon, so feeling very hopeful. They have several homes that would be very comfortable for us and accommodate our DS's needs. We would stay here in TN and go to Plan B before we would even consider rehoming any of the babies.
Agree on the gates at the SPs but call before the closing time, tell them you'll be arriving about such and such time and they'll give you the code. Easy.
Hoping by fall (or maybe sooner) we'll be checking in here with a FL residence. Fingers crossed, please.
