This place could work.
Bottom half of a big old house. Big front porch. Garage! Basement! The kitchen is nasty, but they are going to replace the counters. Quiet, shady street. I could ride a bike to work, its so close. Once I factor in utilities, tv, cable, insurance.... $1100/ month? I spend $600/ mo on gas. That should drop to maybe $200.... I'll save $120 on tolls..... My demo allowance will be $400 Thats $920.... I think I will do this. Probably .

 She had been having arrhythmia every day for four days. Now in the new place, nothing for the last two. And it's been nothing but change: new smells, boxes covering every spot of space, new layout... but it's the same old bed, same old owner, just figuring out where to pee. She has labored breathing sometimes, which is new, but that's what the Lasix is for and extra doses of it keep her comfortable. I'm really glad that at least she will have had at least a little time at the new place. |

I let her out thinking she had to poo, but instead she headed right down the hill to the trail in the woods.
Since she's deaf I can't call her. I have to follow her so she doesn't go too far.  She is loving this entirely new set of smells. Even all the floors are different. I wonder what she is learning.

So glad she's interested and exploring! Nice to see the pics.
As long as she has you everything in her world is good. Hope you're also doing okay - at long last things are done, right?

I don't know if it's just the rebound from all the work I put in for the last few days, but tonight, I feel *great* about this.
Downsizing means my biggest problem now is trying to sort through the 50 boxes filling the 3 rooms on ground level. It really means I've done what I should have done years ago: find a little unique space and make it my own. I know you know what I mean!! |

I do. Reminds me of a part in St Elmos's Fire, where the rich girl gets her own little apartment and says (paraphrase): i made a peanut butter sandwich, and it was my peanut butter, and my bread... (something like that.) Pearl is doing doggy things...so cute. |

I'm so glad things are better for the both of you and now you can relax and settle which is the fun part.

Happy for you Tony. Sounds like all the work has been worth it. The stress removal is probably incalculable. Good for you.
