House contract is dead :-(
 
Well, closing should have been today. I was so happy. My little girls were booked to leave 4th December (staying in the same kennel as quarantine. Know the owners well). Had to cancel. My flight on 10th First Class a freebee from AA due to points saved also cancelled. Put the majority of my fine stuff in consignment store. House looks like "******* sh***) to quote Dame Judy Dench in Philomena :0) what next????? Will clear my stuff out and go forward. My ex can deal with the rest as he wants go stay here. I am so sad and confused.
Sorry to be a constant whiner. Gotta get home before 70 to get my drivers licence. Stressed.....To say the least.

Afraid not....STARLA was due a rabies shot 6th Dec. The reason why to get them out before that date. I am very into natural medicine and prefer to have blood titer tests performed on my dogs rather that fill them up with destructive vaccines in order to make money for vets. Most of my dogs who have had a final vaccination at age 3.....still have strong titers five years later.
Anyway yesterday she had her second rabies shot of her little life. Dosed her with pediatric Benadryl beforehand and so no adverse reaction :-).
So we are free to rebook. Have to go through Northern Ireland Dept Agriculture again with new info to send to USDA VET in Austin.
If it wasn't the issue over my driver license application before my 70th birthday in January, I wouldn't be in such a panic.
I so appreciate everyone's support xxx

I'm not familiar with your 'story' but your post was so sad that I just wanted to send you a cyber hug and :fingerscrossed: that something is pulled out of the hat to ease things.

Thank you so much Perthhomeschool. Seriously I laugh at my daughter who was married in NYC in May and just turned 38 and is a lawyer. She still gets carded.....?I think it's the red hair and freckled nose ;-)
