It sounds great! Congratulations! I hope you love it there.


Thanks. It'll be an interesting change, for sure. When I went to look at
it, I had a weird (but not at all unpleasant) college nostalgia. This
place is much quieter than the apartments I lived in during college,
though.

You're right about the window. My house has 2 sliding doors facing front,
and one facing the back, and the dogs love them. If I ever moved again, I
would have to take into account window arrangements -- which is not
something I had thought of before wrt the animals (but I like a lot of
windows and light myself).


When I got Harriet, I lived in a big Victorian house, with almost
floor-to-ceiling windows. The dogs *loved* looking out the windows. It's
something I didn't take into consideration when I moved here, and I've
regretted it. I leave the front door open as much as possible, so that
Harriet can sit and watch out the storm door, but it's not a perfect
solution.

In fact:

I think Miss NoseyPants will be very happy with the new place.


Our house overlooks a very busy street (walkers, runners, strollers, deer &
unicyclists oh my!). Our living room window area is big (roughly 6' h x 12'
w). The sill is about 10" from the floor and is just the right height for a
busy-body collie girl to keep up with her beauty sleep yet not miss a single
passer-by:

That is window placement perfection, for sure!
