So, the big day has finally
arrived. You have gathered, sorted and
packed your belongings into a seemingly endless pile of boxes. You have protected your breakables and
expensive electronics. The kids have
been packed off to a relative or friend to free you up to move some of the
essentials in your own vehicle. It
should be smooth sailing from here, right?
Before you start giving your spouse or significant other a high five, allow
me to point out a few flies in the ointment that could mar an otherwise flawless
move.
Here Kitty, Kitty!

While you may have trundled
the kids off to a friend or relative for their sake and yours, did you think to
take care of the pets? Having a dog, cat
or bird at large, or lost somewhere in a sea of boxes is the last thing you
want when you are trying to execute a move.
Not only can they be a hazard to your moving crew, they can be in danger
themselves. Just think of what could
happen were the movers to trip over or step on your pet. What if your pet should get out of the house
while the move is underway? Having to
comb through the neighborhood for a pet on the loose could throw a monkey
wrench into your carefully laid moving plans.
A better bet would be to have a friend or neighbor take the pets until
after the move is complete. All parties
concerned will breathe a lot easier.
