Pam,

Actually my pets are the first consideration in anything
I do in life. I lived in an apartment after my divorce and
they had a LB limit regulation on pets. 35 lbs was the
largest your dog could be.I began looking for a house to
rent(fenced yard) when it became apparent that Buddy
was going to be a big dog. I later bought the house that
I had rented because I found Momma Kitty & kittens and
became so attached to her.She had lived as a outside cat
all her life & I knew moving her to a new territory would be
more than she could handle. Guess you could say she and
Buddy helped me choose my new house.
