I have so many things happening in my life... If anybody is interested, here is a quick update on me and my bunny We moved to Houston at the end of June! My mother came in April to St. Louis and stayed with us and watched my love. Then the two of them went to Turkey at the end of June so I could move and get settled in Houston. It has been very hard not having him here but knowing and seeing how happy he is and how well he is cared for makes me very happy. He will be there until the end of the year but I will be visiting soon. It is obviously not very ideal but I am happy with the decision since he gets so much attention from all of my family, he is learning so much, and he has lots of people around him that care about him all the time. My nephew who is almost 3 is like a big brother to him. He was having lots of issues with throwing up (sometimes 2-3 times a day) and the 1.5 months or so that he has been there, he has thrown up only once One of the best things about Houston is a direct flight to Istanbul

Better you than me. I grew up there. The weather didn't bother me growing up (I thought that it was normal feeling like you just got out of a shower when you were outside). Now I couldn't go back.

Thanks for updating us, Bunnysmom. I've been wondering how you both have been. I think you made a wise choice to send Bunny to live with your family for a little while. You need some time to regroup and get settled. Your pregnancy and delivery and subsequent divorce were all traumatic and a little time to process it all will go a long way. As someone who also had a premature child, but lacked the extended family to turn to for support, I envy but admire your situation. December -- and Bunny -- will be here before you know it!!! Start looking for high quality day care NOW -- well, actually, yesterday.

It is awesome to go back in february when it is 70s and gorgeous as opposed to the bleak wintry mess in chicago.

Glad you are getting settled and your little bunny is having fun with his Grandparents. I hope you get settled in Houston and the next phase of your life goes well.

Ahhh I just wrote a response and hit the wrong button! The weather is hot and humid but so was St. Louis. At least here they have no tornadoes. Yes they have hurricanes but they are much rare and you get a week notice. Yes I am from Turkey. I trust my parents with everything, especially with my son. I know they are doing a much better job than any daycare. He gets the one-on-one attention he really needs to catch up. He has done excellent so far. I started looking at daycares. Apparently wait lists are almost non-existent here so the daycares look at me like I have two-heads when I visit them to get information for at least 6 months later. He is getting so spoiled He has the full attention of not only both of my parents, but also other extended family and even neighbors. They are currently at my parents' summer house by the Mediterrenean. He loves the sea! He does not want to get out I think I shall rename myself as fish'smom The townhouse... I had 1 buyer, she waited and waited and got tired of waiting so she changed her mind. Luckily i had a backup offer at the same time, which was a better one anyway. And the guy is willing to wait, very determined. He is getting an excellent deal so he should be patient The sale seems to go along ok so far. 2nd mortgage agreed, now comes the 1st. I am going back in september for 2 weeks. Then again at the end of december to come back with him and my mom. I may do another trip around thansgiving (gotta love the direct flight)

I hate to say it, bit there are absolutely tornadoes in houston- they are actually relatively common. I once had a tree limb blown through my bedroom window as a tornado passed over. We had so many tornado warnings that they never really phased us. They don't tend to do mass amounts of destruction... but there are still tornadoes. I hope you enjoy the city! My family still lives there so I visit a couple of times a year. Sometimes I miss it

I heard some people say there are tornadoes. But I have been here about 1.5 months now and some of this hot and humid weather we had would have been most definitely a tornado or severe thunderstorms in St. Louis. I have not felt scared yet, let's just say
I am going out and trying to meet people and it has been fun so far.

that hot humid weather goes from May-Oct. that's just normal LOL Hurricane season is coming up so you'll start seeing tornado warnings. But I wouldn't be scared, like I said, they usually don't level the city or anything. they aren't BIG tornadoes.
What area of the city are you living?

I am in Katy, which I don't really like because I am too far from everything but close enough to the office. I may move towards the Galleria area next year but only if I can find a house/townhouse with a fenced in yard that is reasonable.

I live in the Houston area. The weather here is enough to make me crazy. I don't even bother with my hair half the time because what's the point? It's going to be huge either way. Oh well, the higher the hair, the closer to god.

Goldentx... I saw in another thread that you have a great place to kennel your dogs. Where is it located? For my trip in september, I found someone through rover.com to house/pet sit in my home. But I dont know how that will go so I am always looking for a good kennel that is not too expensive (if possible). I wanted to PM you but couldn't find the message button, can we still PM people?

AH- yeah, katy is a bit far west and Katy Mills mall went downhill pretty fast. I was born in Houston proper but grew up in the suburbs, Humble/Kingwood area. Good luck and I hope you end up in a great location.

I am not just in Katy but in North Katy! I have a good friend that lives in West University Place. She has a daughter a little younger than my son so I would like them to socialize but will be hard when i am so far away. At least I love the house I am in

Yes, you can still PM people, bunnysmom. Just click on the poster's name, and look at the top right of the screen that produces. Third from the left is "Send Message".

But I dont know how that will go so I am always looking for a good kennel that is not too expensive (if possible). I wanted to PM you but couldn't find the message button, can we still PM people? The place I go to only takes certain breeds. If I remember correctly, it isn't one you have. PM me your breed(s) and I will be happy to share. Otherwise, I've heard good things about J-Canine, which is out in Rosenburg (not too bad a drive from Katy down 99, then 59). I haven't personally been out there but I plan on checking them out for a back up plan. Several neighbors take their dogs there so that they aren't just kenneled the whole time, but also get play time. If you are looking for straight kennel let me know and I can get some recommendations. Also, being in Katy, you are close to at least two dog parks with water (Bear Creek and Millie Bush), which is great if you have high energy dogs that need to burn some off. www.houstonpettalk.com/resources/dog-parks/

Thank you, I will check them out. I have mutts, one lab mix and one german shepherd mix. I also have a cat so I am hoping this sitter works out.
