Pets
Pets are OK. Will cost to get the thing over here but if it keeps the wife happy... Happy wife, happy life.
We have a feline in a villa but I know a number of couples with K-9's in low and high rise apartments.
There was never a furrowed eyebrow in the interview when it came to what the family consisted of, which included the damn cat.
From the get-go I told them what I wanted and although I had to wait a bit for it, I got just what was asked for.
Although I'm sure the thing would like to !!!!! in my shoe and tear my flight bag to shreds, it makes "her" happy to have "it" here, and that makes a huge difference in the home life.
Hope this helps.
