I know what you mean. I was in a really tight spot about 15 years ago and I had to let teeth rot in my head so that I could pay for an operation for my dog!You made me smile. We spent months looking for a new place to rent recently (that would allow multiple pets; we have four) because we were essentially being kicked out of our last rental (for no reason; the landlady has something wrong with her mind ..........and heart), but even a priest told us to get rid of some of the pets, but my husband said, "Well, which ones should we pick over the others? They're ALL part of the family. We've had them for years and years." The priest had no answer. (And with buckets of prayer, we did finally find a home for all of us).
Been there.
When I lost my house, I tried to get into “Over 55 Active Adult” housing.
But they only would allow pets under 20 pounds, and Lynn-Dah is much bigger than that. One leasing agent even suggested that I euthanize Lynn-Dah so I could qualify for their stripped, shabby, leaky doublewide.
At that point I told them where they could put their BINGO, Shuffleboard and Line-Dancing (and the Doublewide too!).
There are places, even in the Sunshine State, where the sun don’t shine.
