Well, my husband gets out of the military in November. With his GI bill he's going to UTI to finish up getting certified as a mechanic. So guess where we will be moving.... Houston :) My husbands hometown is Houston, I've only been there 3 times maybe. So our truck is PACKED again! We have Ringo, 2 dogs, 1 cat, 1 snake and the newest addition Peanut, my husband, my son, and me o_O thats a packed truck!

Ringo has never been in the truck before so I'm making a smake travel cage for him thats going to be 16x16x24in or I might have to find a nice box. The snake is going into a critter keeper container. Peanut... will I'm a little stumped on what to do about Peanut. Peanut is a 3y/o beardie, he rode home with us on my shoulder all the way home with no issues, so might just let him stay out.

Dogs.... well, my 6 month old German Shepherd isnt very interested in the car rides. We have her large wire crate that she may have to go into. Think we will start working with her now so she can get use it the truck ride. My little dog loves car rides so I dont have to worry about that. Now my cat... well when we moved here we had a cat carrier but since then my son lost the door and shes really too big for that crate o_O

Oh and I almost forgot about the roaches. Idk what to do with them! Anyways I'm bringing Ringos new cage, the snake tank and if we can fit it Peanuts tank. Of course our clothes, dog crates, tv (hubby wants to bring it). Is there anything else I should bring along for Ringo?
 
After thinking about it I'm going to end up getting one of those dog seatbelts. And also thinking about putting Peanut in a box as well so he doesnt get hurt
 
Think hubby wants to move close to UTI school ground if possible. But looking for a house thats not too expensive and MUST allow pets. Or I may not be able to move down there with him. =(
 
Welcome to TEXAS!!!!!!! How long is the drive? Maybe pack him as if you was shipping him in the mail? Maybe he would sleep the whole way?
 
Im so a softie and probably going to spoil my animals. But I'm looking at those soft sided pet carriers to put Ringo in one and Mr. Freckles in the other. Is this a good idea or I'm I just being crazy?
 
Reaching the 1 month to go mark =) I'm real happy about stayin with our family til we find a place but guess its going to have to work out.
 
Starting to pack things up tomorrow. Have a large closet box set aside for all of Ringo's plants. Have another set aside for the lights, supplements, etc. My husband think that Ringos cage will fit in the back of the truck so crossing fingers. Have another thin box to the side that I was going to divide to hopefully put them both in. If I cant divide I'll just get another box.
 
Hope everything has gone smoothly for all the critters! My boyfriend went to UTI in Houston about 3 years ago, learned a lot! :)
 
Well hubby wants to do the full 10 hours to Houston on Monday. Laundry and putting stuff away tomorrow. Fun!

Also I'm up to meeting anyone in and around Houston area whenever we get there. Always nice to meet new friends! :)
