I am overwhelmed by everyone's kindness - thank you!!!
We have a few friends with stables, and also outbuildings, all have said they will try and help with the dogs if need be. I am hoping it will not come to that, and we can find somewhere to rent with a stable maybe ..... The big GSD used to live in our cellar at the old hosue, and he loved his own little room, so even a cellar would suit him!!!
We have been looking at properties for sale today, and its amazing that in some areas, houses with land are half what they are here. I am afraid the TB has unsettled me, and I doubt I would want to stay here now. I would worry all the time about TB tests etc.
Not got a date yet for the auction, but I reckon it could be June. My brother will put a high reserve on it, so there is the strong possibility it may not sell .....but of course, someone from the town who just wants a house and to keep a couple of horses, may not mind the TB.
We will have to wait and see .....in the meantime I will keep an eye out for suitable properties.
