Ok well I think after searching and searching, we've finally found a place. It's smaller than what we are use to, but its a house with a garage and it's in the area we wanted too. Nothing official yet, but it's looking good. We didn't want an apartment so it made hunting, especially because I have Charlie, very challenging.
Now, here's my question. While house hunting and so many people who wont except pets it made me think of something. Around my area a three bedroom goes in the price range of $2000 and up on average. I think it's ridiculous that people want you to pay that kind of rent and then tell you that you cannot have a pet. That's a lot of money every month not to be able to have the company you want there with you. I would just pass those places by, but some people do give up their pets when looking for a place because it's hard to find one that will let you. I don't know I just think it's wrong. I understand they don't want their house getting messed up and I would understand some sort of limitations, but to say you are not allowed, I feel is wrong when you are paying that kind of money. And to top it off, they almost always want a security deposit equal to and sometimes more than the first month rent price. It's irritating.
