One of my best friends just got married, and she and her husband are moving up to Maine to take over his parents' 300 acre sheep farm. They're leaving in October, and I'm bummed and going to miss them, BUT.
We've been talking extensively about me moving out there with them when their house is built, probably a year and a half or so from now. Their new house is going to be pretty spacious with a few extra bedrooms on the second floor. It's gorgeous country, the very northeast tip of Maine, basically on the Canadian border.
But the best part is: SPACE! For DOGS! We've been talking about training/competing/showing dogs together for years, and this is like... the absolute ideal situation for that to happen.
I'm so excited about the possibilities. My life's dream has basically been to move to Vermont, have land, have dogs. So it's pretty much a dream come true - I can substitute Maine for Vermont no problem
