Our house is supposedly 1,100 square feet. That's what the papers said when we bought it. However, in comparing it to my friends houses and their square footage, I really think that's a mistake and it's actually bigger. It's a four bedroom house. But, who knows. I know it's way too big for DH and I, now that the kids all moved out. When we had three teenagers, it was fine. But now we don't use the upstairs and the guest room at all, ever. And all the dogs are always within 4 square feet of us anyway.
I don't know how big our yard is. It's divided up a lot. There is the front yard, no dogs allowed. Then there is the dog's yard, which is basically dirt now. And the run for the boarding kennel. And the parking lot for the business, and wasted space where we park extra cars. So, it probably was a huge yard at one time, now it's all chopped up.
"We give dogs the time we can spare, the space we can spare and the love we can spare. And in return, dogs give us their all. It's the best deal man has ever made" - M. Facklam
"We are raised to honor all the wrong explorers and discoverers - thieves planting flags, murderers carrying crosses. Let us at last praise the colonizers of dreams."- P.S. Beagle
"All that is gold does not glitter, Not all those who wander are lost; The old that is strong does not wither, Deep roots are not reached by the frost. From the ashes a fire shall be woken, A light from the shadows shall spring; Renewed shall be blade that was broken, The crownless again shall be king." - J.R.R. Tolkien
