Ask the BellHunters

Hello, I'm Dawn Hunter-Bellwether...er, formerly Dawn Bellwether if you didn't recognize the added surname. And before you ask, yes 'that' Dawn Bellwether. Ex-Assistant Mayor, Ex-Mayor, Ex-Criminal Mastermind (Reformed thank you very much), City Savior, Controversial Author, and Predator/Prey relationship advocate. I'm also, as you probably guess by the hyphenated last name, married, and happily so to my mate Vernon Hunter, a gray wolf. I'm also a mother to three wonderful pups, something I never thought I'd ever have the chance to be! But, lamb sakes, I've gushed enough about myself here without explaining exactly what this blog is for. You see, after the release of my book “Predator Seeking Prey”, our little family started to get a lot of public attention again, and with it came a lot of question from curious mammals and other pred/prey couples from all over Animalia. My best friend and mate Vernon thought it would be a good idea to deal with these questions directly by opening a sort of blog/forum and taking those questions about our lives directly. Since then, I'd like to say our little blog has been quite successful, with even members of our family and friend circle pitching in and taking a few questions as well. So with all that said., please feel free to Ask Away!


Oh, and also, feel free to check our old location for previous asks until we can get a better archive system in place!

Week 3.5 Still Here

 So positives, I have new glasses, and I have my car back. So there's two massive steps in the right direction. Thankfully a lot of things managed to align at once one Wednesday allowing me to get my new glasses and car on the same day, negating the risk having to drive my car back from Boston without my frames. I've also managed to get back some of my and my mother important identifying information, and crucial cards that will allow us to get by.

That said, after all is said and done, we're still at the hotel. Our apartment search has been largely fruitless. On the one hand, we can take some solace in the fact that many of the tenants are still in the same boat as we are, as the market has been difficult for a while. However, the mounting pressure to find a place before the town stops covering hotel expenses is starting to obscure that.

Interest in helping out from the town has continued to taper off rapidly, with the resource folks down to next to 'zero contact' in days, and with no substantial help in finding us apartments despite the big show three weeks back promising to help all of us ex-tenants over the weeks and months we may need to relocate. They told us they were outlining plans that would see us all from the hotel to our new front doors, promised us. But now that public attention is fading they seem to be increasingly ignoring the lot of us.

I've also been diligently taking itemization for insurance purposes which...has been an emotional roller-coaster. Especially now that I've arrived at itemizing the losses for my bedroom/office. I also intend to touch base with a lawyer tomorrow in order to pursue a legal case against the management of our previous home. And as you can imagine, I probably shouldn't go into any further detail on that for the time being.

If worst comes to worse, we will have to relocated to Montana and live with my brother for a while. It's sort of the emergency last resort, should we be completely unable to find a place at all. But I'm going to try as best I can to keep us here in New Hampshire until we are absolutely out of options.

So yeah...still at the hotel, still looking to leave. I....miss my home. We both do...The apartment may not have been a stellar one, but my Mom and I made the place a respectable home. I feel petty complaining about the hotel. It's not bad. It's really decent. But it's just...it's uncomfortable. Alien. And while I generally had trouble sleeping already, it's even harder to do in this transitory space, with the uncertainty looming over our heads.

This will probably be the last time I link the Gofundme. I already feel bad enough as it is having had it up in the first place, even if it was my brother that started it on our behalf. That said, again I want to thank everyone, every artist, every friend, every fan, every patreon, every single one of you, from the bottom of my heart for spreading the word and helping in any way you could. Whether it was emotional support, solidarity, financial assistance, gifts, or all of those things combined it's really helped keep me from completely losing it in this....really difficult time. I love you all, my gratitude is eternal.

Love,

WastedTime
