I have some very good news!

That certainly is good news for you and your lady Kona, ...still, pity about the dogs.
Maybe you could put an ad in the local paper (if you have one) saying "Free to good home" for the dogs, then, if someone takes them, you could arrange to visit them occasionally if they were nearby.

....just a thought.

Good news is always...uhm...good. I know how hard it is finding an apartment...I am currently looking for one myself. It's always either the right price with the wrong place or right place with the wrong price. Anyways...good luck with all that and everything else.

That is Good News Kona, your lucky to have such an understanding Landlord. It is too bad about your dog's though. Hope you have a smooth and uneventful moving experience. Good Luck

Good luck Kona, great to hear you can leave some troubles fall from your shoulder

gratz

Congratz! That has to be a huge weight lifted off your shoulders.

Life will only get better, just when you think things couldn't get any worse, suddenly they get better The best of luck Kona

Great News

Strange how things are never as dire as expected......life goes on...

Glad to hear that Kona

Glad things are looking up Kona. Hope your path continues to be bright.
still keeping ya'll in my prayers.

Good to hear you are getting things going.

first of all thank you all for your support.

But at this point we are having alot of second thoughts.

if money wasn't the issue we would just choose a nice place to live and be done with it. After all, we had $2000 dollars in our pockets when we moved here. We will barely have $900 when we move to a new place.

Several problems have arisen. We REALLY do not want to get rid of our dog Chance. We have had Chance since she was 7 weeks old and have grown to love her and we both think that life would be far different without her. To different to even think about getting rid of her.

But really what choice do we have?

A few other things bothered me last night as I tried to lay down to sleep. The place we wanted has stairs that ae long and narrow. my girlfriend is a big girl, over 300 lbs (not her fault, genetic) and she has back problems since she was young. Strirs hurt her. And i am not sure the shower is big enough for her.

And the studio is right across from a scholl. I don't hate kids I just do not get along with them very well.

And all of our stuff will not fit in the small apartment so off to storage we go.

Damn I hate this crap. Why can't life be simple? >

Nothin' is simple Kona. Keep the old chin up, something will work out. Finding a place that will take your dog is going to be tougher for sure but Chance is part of the family isn't he?

Keep on!

Hang in there Kona I am sure something will work out for you and your Family....Pets are Family too...

Kona,

Two things to try.....

1. Check with Real Estate companies....some handle rental units, apts. duplexes, houses, etc. for private citizens with less rigid rules vs. rental complexes that are more rigid with rules.

2. Check with the State Health and Human Services. You may not qualify for low income/assisted housing, but they can steer you in the direction of landlords that will rent to people having some financial difficulties.

Good Luck

(although I know there is more to life than the Internet.)

nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo! its not true, its just not true


good luck kona and i hope everything turns out right. *seriously*

life's melodramtic sometimes. ain't it kona.

you just never know how things will work out, but it all feels like a play and you have to hope the play ends good.

Kona........I said it last night when i put up Helen's skin that "i was not deeply religous" - but i will say a little prayer tonight for you, your girlfriend and Chance.......we are all routing for you and try keep your chin up.

I would never move into an apartment where dogs are not allowed. People who don't like dogs are subhuman.

Then again, I still have to move out.

Good luck on your search, konamon.

Kona, Keep your chin-up and your eyes glued to the classified section of your local Newspaper. You still have some time to be a bit choosy about where you're going to live.

Best of luck!

All the places that I have lived have "apartment search" places.  The apartments pay these places to find tenants.  you go in, tell them what you can afford, and what you need, and they find it for you.  Some apartments are in complexes, others are private rentals.  You just have to put a little work into it.  You have two months- start now.  Nothing goods comes to those who just sit on their hands and let life lead them around. 

My husband and I moved out of our first apartment because they changed their dog rules (it was by pounds, then they changed it to number of pets).  We paid an early termination fee, but we didn't care.  Our pets are part of our family.
