Moving
Your Families Pets
As anyone who has ever moved
can attest, the clock moves twice as fast as your moving
date approaches. Hours become minutes and days become
hours. Worst yet huge boxes become smaller and
possessions seem to multiply in the night.
The only way to get a
handle on a move is to plan a strategy, make a list and
budget huge amounts of time in advance to get the job
done properly.
Use the following suggestions as a guideline to help:
Arrange:
- Bank: Transfer funds,
arrange check-cashing in new city
- Insurance: Notify new
location for coverage: Life, health, fire, auto.
- Automobile
registration: Transfer of car title registration is
necessary; also driver's license; emissions test;
motor club membership.
- Utility Companies:
Gas, light, water, telephone, perhaps fuel; get refund
of any deposits made; arrange for immediate service in
new town.
- Route Services:
Laundry, paper, mild delivery, changeover of services
- School Records; Ask
for copies of transfer of children's records.
- Medical, Dental; Ask
Doctor and Dentist for referrals; transfer needed
- Prescription Histories
prescriptions, eyeglasses, x-rays.
- Church Club: Transfer
memberships, get letter of introduction.
- Pets: Ask about
regulations for licenses, vaccinations, tags, etc.
Don't forget to:
- Empty freezer, plan
use of foods
- Defrost
freezer-refrigerator, Place charcoal to dispel odors
- Have appliances
serviced for moving
- Obtain birth records
and baptism records of all children
- Clean rugs or clothing
before moving; have them moving wrapped
- Check with your Moving
Counselor regarding insurance coverage, packing and
unpacking labor, arrival day, various shipping papers,
method and tie of expected payment
- Plan for special care
needs of infants.
And on moving day...
- Carry currency,
jewelry, documents yourself; or use registered mail.
- Plan for transporting
pets; they are poor traveling companions if unhappy
- Carry traveler's
checks for quick available funds.
- Let close friend or
relative know route and schedule you will travel,
including overnight stops; use as a message
headquarters.
- Double check closets,
drawers, shelves to be sure they are empty.
- Leave all old keys
needed by new tenant or owner with agent or Realtor.
