We went to a TESOL information night last night. It pretty much confirmed what we knew and had already researched. We still think China is the best option for us and the only thing stopping us is what to do with our dogs. I just cannot bring myself to leave them behind - but the alternative, to take them, seems purely selfish. Is it okay to put them through a 7 hour + flight only to be placed in quarantine and I can barely imagine how difficult it will be to bring them back into Australia. And it's one thing to say it's just the dogs stopping us but there are soooo many other factors we just can't put into place. We know the only option is to sell our current house, but what if it sells really quickly or really slowly or not at all? Do we buy another house here, or a townhouse so we have something to come back to. Do we buy a house to allow for if we still have the dogs or the more affordable option of a townhouse that would rule out the possibility of keeping the dogs? Do we leave the house fully furnished and rent it that way so we have something to come back to or unfurnished which is generally the easier option? Do we sell everything and use the money for right now or put it in storage so that we have everything when we return? And what if we don't return - do we have to come back just to sort out our furniture? Do we start the training now so that we are ready to go but face the possibility of never going and having wasted all that money, or wait till we are ready and packed to go but then be stuck here trying to finish the training courses? And why didn't we think of this option 3 years ago - before we built a house and got Jedi and Pepper? Then we could have gone over, had our experience, THEN come back, built a house and got our dogs....
