Kind of F#$ked

[csgray]

I think the single most frustrating experience I've ever had was the long drawn out and illogical process of closing on our house here, so I do understand your frustration. Try to just keep taking deep breaths and focus on the fact that in 6 months you will be in your new home and this will all seem like a bad dream.

I know it would be hard to do, but I would put the dogs in a good boarding facility with daily visits, put my stuff in storage, and find an affordable short term place in Hilo or Puna for the duration. Then you will have a safe place for you, your stuff, and your dogs.

I know if it was us, the dogs would be the biggest concern since they are "dependent members of the family" who can't take care of themselves.
