XP: OT: Short Notice Move to Maryland
My husband found out yesterday that his work wants him to move to Maryland to Ft. Meade. They want us there in a month but we are pushing for at least two months to ten weeks. We are thinking of the Bowie area since I will probably find something in DC. Frantically trying to get the house in sell condition. We just finished our basement last week so all of the other rooms are packed with everything from the basement.
Any advice on Dr.'s in the Bowie area for general practioner and bariatric would be great. We have Tricare since my husband is retired military. Also, if anyone knows of a good kennel in the area that would be wonderful! I don't think we could close on a in that short of a time and I have two German shepherds. We found a real estate agent there....just not one here yet.
Thank you for your help!

Unfortunately, I do not know about physicians in the area. I don't know how far you would be from John Hopkins, but I know they have a great bariatric program. I would recommend my surgeon but I am in North East, MD so I went to Delaware.
As for the kennel, I might be able to put you in contact with a local kennel club who would have some recommendations. I show Goldens and travel through out the tri-state area. I will message you with some contacts!
Wow! You have quite a lot on your plate! One day at a time and it will all get done and work out!

Lisa,
Most of the Bariatric surgeons closest to Bowie are in the Baltimore area. Personally, I would recommend any of the surgeons at Johns Hopkins. Michael Schweitzer is my surgeon.
On the kennel front, I've been using Dogwood Acres Pet Resort in Davidsonville, MD for my boxers for the past 10 years. They are a little pricey but well worth it. Once you get into the area, schedule a visit to their facilities for a tour. I think you'll be impressed. Davidsonville is very close to Bowie.
Good Luck!

I would consider renting first. There are lots of areas to consider as far as purchasing goes and you would be well advised to take your time with a purchase. Get into the area, find your job and then research into what is available that appeals to you. In Md. closing costs are high and you won't want to do them twice. Also the rescue group foster plan sounds like a real winner. It would put your dogs into a home that likes your breed of dogs as opposed to a kennel that is going to (out of necessity) have to house them in a less desirable situation. Although the move is coming fast you can take it slow.
Thank you Alice. Since the government is moving us for my husband's job, they are paying the closing costs and we want to take advantage of that perk so we are looking for a house. Plus I heard how bad the rental market is there from some of the military I worked with who tried and tried for rentals. Thank you and have a great Sunday.
