My BABIES!

So, I went and looked for a townhome/condo/apt today. I knew of 2 neighborhoods that would suit what I was searching for. It' s all about the location. Not that of which I would prefer to reside, but rather what area would save me more on gas money! I have put 110 dollars into gas money over the past 7 days!

Anyhow, I drove around the first community and did not find a single place for rent. About 20 places for sale, but I'm not in the position to buy right now. The second area produced 1 single place for rent. I called while parked in front and set up a time to check out the place...You see, I felt like if I didn't call asap, I would lose all opportunity.

I met up with the owner at 4. The exterior revealed nothing of the treasure inside. The place was gorgeous! It's a 2 bedroom 3.5 bath, with a fully finished basement. Coming in at over 1700 square feet. Pergo flooring, immaculate carpeting and paint job, not to mention a little fenced in yard with a Tuff Shed out back.

I was sold! My son was ecstatic as well. He would even have friends in the hood. I told the guy that I wanted to fill out an application and move in soon! He seemed to be happy to find a renter as well.

One of my last questions should have been my first. "What is your pet policy?"

"None, no pets at all!"

My heart sunk. I wanted to cry. Seriously. I wasn't too concerned about getting rid of Poppy, our 2-3 year old guinea pig. I was concerned about our kitties!!! I can't get rid of them...or can I? What would I be willing to sacrifice for the perfect location and price? I don't know. I'm in crisis mode right now...
