and looks like I'm taking my early (and forced) retirement in PDX suburb. Found a place in Troutdale area. Happy Valley of Portland area was very nice but to be happy, you need truckloads of Ben Franklin. Not having worked for Blackwater, the last part didn't happen.

We are flying up to PDX on Wed. Aug 25 and have a lookie at several houses. This is my second visit.

Like Beth, I have animals... slightly larger scale though... How to move 10 cats, 2 dawgs and 3 pet chicken. Thinking of renting a small RV... Both of us are bit un-nerved about driving a big thing and not to mention of 2 days of hard drive. Dogs are least of the worries. Not sure about the cats. and three chicken??? what to do??? And once I get there, I have so many things to do, how am I going to get their coop and chicken run all set up?? ugghh!!! And like Beth, about the vets...

Have any suggestions on transporting my big family? I guess we are going to have to sedate our cats but I'm not sure if that is safe for two days straight. worry worry... they are my babies you know.

I haven't moved in 15 years so not so sure where to start... Hate to admit but I'm stressed!

Thoughts on how to move the animals? or move in general...
Troutdale, gateway to the Gorge! It's a great area.

Let me email my neighbor, who has many animals. She may have some knowledge.
