We have some wonderful news
Yesterday we found a house, not an apartment, or part of a house that was being let, but a Villa
We are very excited about it. The small villa is more or less in the center of Tirana. It is just in our price range, has a great out door area for Jonathan to play, a bedroom, nursery for the babies, a guestroom/office, 2 bathrooms (no tub but two showers at least!), a small kitchen dinning room area and a nice covered patio where we can enjoy the cooler summer nights and spring time/autumn days. The owners are very nice people and experienced landlords. We will be inheriting a tortoise with the property… we hope that Londy and he/she/it will get along! Our contract starts on September 1st, so in the meantime we will be looking for the few items of furniture etc. that we will need to make it home and getting it ready to move into.
Regarding Londy, now that we have a house to live in that will accept the dog we will be trying to bring him over in November. There is a problem though… when out walking with Londy, Karen was pulled over and she broke her shoulder
This has meant that they will not be able to keep him until Doug comes to pick him up! Londy is currently in a kennel in Bel Air, MA. If anyone can give him temporary housing until November we would appreciate it! Otherwize we may have no option but to adopt him out. I know… you are thinking as I am… who would take a dog that has already broken one persons shoulder?! He is a good dog and as long as you are either a man or a strong and experienced dog handling female you and Londy would do just fine!
Thanks for the thoughts and prayers as we have gone through the house hunting process. We are VERY happy with what we have found and it has a lot of potential as a place where we can entertain friends and develop relationships with those in the surrounding area
