You wouldn’t know it if you live in the Northeast right now, but Spring has sprung. If you’re like most people, the Vernal Equinox triggers a primal urge to get out of the cave and shake off the cabin fever that the long, cold winter has brought.  It has also been known to elicit the time-tested tradition known as spring cleaning.

Unless you are something of a hoarder, spring cleaning is the time of year to begin sprucing up the place and lightening the load.  It usually starts by bringing out the rake to tidy up the yard the broom to sweep out the garage and the mop and bucket to begin the task of sponging off the patio.

A few weeks ago, I devoted an entire blog to helping people with cats learn how to deal with their feline friends during a move.  This week I thought I’d look at the other side of the equation.  Did you know that there are more than 90 million dogs in the US?  Unlike cats, which are more independent and less likely to heed your every wish, dogs are more than happy to follow your commands, provided they are properly trained.  That being said, dogs, as opposed to cats, are pack animals.  This means that they have a well-defined concept of territory, not to mention who is the top dog.  When you pack up and move your family from one location to another, this has a tendency to throw your dog’s sense of self out of whack.

Being a professional mover means not only helping clients move their most precious possessions, but it also means helping them protect these possessions as well.  As I have pointed out in previous blogs, the secrets to getting your stuff from Point A to Point B without mishap boils down to how well they were packed.  In the past, I have shown you how to pack everything from glassware and art objects to fish tanks and electronics.  When it comes to value, nothing is worth more by the pound than jewelry.  That being said, you would be amazed at how little most people know about packing these precious possessions for a move.
