After we found the acreage the first order of business was to get the land fully fenced.  We had a great guy and his kids do it.  That is a lot of fence. 

Second we needed to get a zoning variance. 

Even with the fencing and zoning, Debbie had to foster my two new Greys for about 12 weeks.  I donated extra when we were able to pick them up to thank her and help the Foster parents with food for the extra time they had to keep them.
