What was your motivation for moving?
We were looking for an area more centrally located for our dog show endeavors and enough room to build a foster kennel. Some of our main requirements were affordability, seasons, a quiet community and rural zoning. We found all that and a new home base for PawtyExpress in Corbin.
What do you like about Eastern KY?
If I only had to list one thing I would say the views, luckily I'm not limited. I'm a very outdoorsy person and enjoy hunting, fishing, camping etc. Eastern KY has so much public land it's amazing. We travel a good bit and it's nice to be close to the I75 corridor and still be remote enough to have a mini farm/foster kennel.
Corbin is also known for moonbows and we are building Samson's Legacy a Moonbow Bridge. This will be a part of our puppy therapy for people experiencing catastrophic pet loss. The moonbow was an inspiration for us since losing Samson and Aella was our darkest hour.
Last but not least the weather and seasons were a big part of the changes we were making. I'm a Florida native so having a pretty fall and snowy winter are enjoyable to me.
Was our program helpful during the process? How so?
Yes, Latasha had some great resources for us.
What advice would you give to someone looking to relocate to Eastern KY?
Do your homework and visit a few times. It's not hard to find affordable property but make sure you know what to expect before you buy.
