Admin post: Well friends... you did it. We're getting a yard! And a house. With ramps and an accessible shower. And dog space! Homes like these are rare. Like finding a needle in a haystack. And the housing market is hot so we made an offer and it was accepted. It's over our pre-approved amount so we needed to come up with the rest as cash. And thanks to you, we've done it. Anything extra will go to the few extra modifications we need to make (there's a couple of rooms that will have no doors so I fit and it would be nice to widen them, and we need a stove with front knobs so I don't light myself on fire, and one interior ramp) and stuff like window blinds instead of sheets. 😊 And maybe those things that go in cupboards that make it so you can pull the stuff out and all the dry goods won't have to live on the cupboard. And eventually get the laundry set up on the mainfloor. But it's functional while that stuff happens. I can get in and out and use the bathroom! We've been looking for awhile and this just hit the market Thursday evening. We're going into it with @HeyPistol and his dad. There's plenty of room for everyone and we need someone to shovel snow. Splitting the mortgage and utilities makes it feasible but coming up with my portion of the down payment was going to be a challenge. You folks really came through. I don't even have the words to express my gratitude right now. I'm kind of in a state of disbelief. Chesnyy is going to have a place to run around, even in the winter. Inevitably she can get a younger, bigger brother. And we can plant a raspberry bush in Kuno's honor as he loved it when we found bushes in the alley and could pick a few. I'll keep you all update during the process. This is so exciting. And kind of scary. But no more worrying about the elevator not working. No more worrying about having to move to another city to find a place to rent if my landlord sells. An easy option for winter pottybreaks. The chance to even start a little dog training business from home. All the stuff I never really thought possible is now right there. ❤️ All I can say is thank you for helping us through this journey. I've been on a bit of a self pity trip since Kuno's passing. Now I need to get my butt in gear and start rolling into the future and being the best me I can.
