When we went househunting 8 years ago, what we were looking for was a great yard for our German Shepherd. We were perfectly happy in our condo, which was more of a villa than a condo. It had a private area in the front and a small grassy area in the rear. At the time we had three cats, but just had to have a German Shepherd. When we got this dog, it was cramped and we decided to go house hunting.
A primary factor in the hunt was a great yard. What we looked at either had a great house and inadequate yard, or the other way around. Our real estate agent was getting pretty tired of us. He kept hearing about the dog liking this or that. Finally after actually walking through 50+ homes we found a keeper. After a time, we got a second German Shepherd.
We have changed our lifestyle for our animals. When one needed extensive surgeries, we had to cut back on a lot of things just to afford the costs. We put off car purchases, and certain home renovations. We created dedicated times for all the animals so none get slighted.
So, for all you pet owners out there, how has a pet been an influence in your lives.
