Well, we found the cutest house today on the South end of town with a for lease sign in the yard. We called and it's an agent owned house, sounds very nice, with a finished basement and a big garage, but she was asking $700 a month, which right off the top is WAY TOO much for us to pay in rent. She also said it's a firm, "NO PETS", but she continued to say , "I understand , I really do because I have two golden retrievers at home. " Allen and I's thoughts on this were that she obviously doesn't understand at all. People's children can wreak more havoc on a house than a tiny house dog can. Allen said the golden retrievers must be the lady's husband's and not her own. It's going to probably be rough going for us to find a place that accepts pets, which is a shame. It's all because some people just let their dogs pee and poop all over the place and don't seem to care because they are renters. A handful of people ruin it for responsible dog owners like ourselves. Not to say Penny has never had an accident, but any time she has ever peed or pooped we immediately clean it up, and thoroughly. She is our family. We won't be moving at all if we cannot find a place that will accept her. It's a shame about the house in Palmyra being so far away because we showed Penny to the landlord and he didn't have a problem with her at all! I think we should just take her with us each time, lol, because who can say no to such a cute little dog! We still have a while to find something else though, our lease is up May 1st. So, pretty much we have a month and a half. If we are moving, we need to be in the new place before May 1st. If, and it's a loose if, because we definately need a little bit more room, but IF we stay we are going to buy one of those giant closet things from walmart and we are going to see if Scott will let us paint over these HORRIBLE wood panels in the living room. Yes, yes, we know, at one point in time the wood paneling was all the rage; but right now it makes me nauseous. I have tons of decorating ideas in my head. I wish that money wasn't an issue. Decorative things are rediculously expensive. Wal-mart has a commercial advertising throw pillows for $17 a piece!!!! UGH! I think we will be going with a modern "less is more" look. LOL! I don't know. I'm going to be painting the bookcase, coffee table, end table, and dresser so that they all look brand new, and we are going to just buy couch and loveseat covers. That means 6 less pieces of furniture we need to buy! When I'm done with them all, it will be like having a brand new living room set! :) I also would like to buy colored or decorated roller blinds for the windows. If anyone knows of any place locally that sells these, let me know. So far all I can find around here are white ones. They make them online where you can have any picture you want put on a roller blind, which is kind of neat! :)
