Ugh, finding a house is so hard. We thought we'd be living in our current house for about two more years and even possibly buying it (this was discussed and brought up by the land lady), which would have been perfect, so being kind of blindsided has just been awful. We were trying to stay in this area of the city since everything we do is over here, but it's impossibly hard to find anywhere right now. So many apartments and main levels and basement suites, but barely any full houses and barely any that allow dogs unless we can pay a crazy high rent per month. :-(
It's not like we're going to be homeless. Which is great, but our options aren't that great either. So far we have: moving into a main level with no storage for the same price we're paying now for an entire house, moving into my mom's boyfriend's house which would leave my brother and I in the basement which pretty much would suck an be awkward (living with the bf) and be super lonely plus I can't see living there with dogs very easily, or me moving into my Doberman breeder's house for a short time (which would be really stressful). I wish I could just afford to take my two dogs and move out on my own, but I can't right now.
I wish we could just find somewhere dog friendly in a good area so that my brother and I wouldn't have to commute two hours for school and work and also something affordable.
What I wish the most is that our land lady/'friend' wasn't just thinking about herself and her woes and that she stuck to the original plan. She doesn't even need this house. She's one lady, with no dogs currently, doesn't need the size of the house, the transit access or anything around there that we need. I get that she has the right to have her house back if she really wants it, but the way she went about it (that I won't go into) is just wrong and selfish.
