Default house hunting (semi-OT)

i went out with the real estate agent yesterday, saw some pretty cool
houses. here are the highlights:

first house: a Kuvasz came ambling up to greet us as we came up the drive.
i offered my hand and he was quite the gentleman, with tail wags and much
leaning. the owner proudly told us that the dog had never once been inside
the house. poor guy. i petted and hugged him as we walked around the
grounds. the house was ok, but i really liked the dog.

second house: the neighbors had corgis. i can't remember anything about
the house.

third house: this is the one. we found a billboard sized "bush/cheney"
sign in the shed out back so it's now known as the republican house. it's
amazing indoors, has all the amenities (wood stove in master suite, and hot
tub on deck!), and is on 2 acres. mostly fenced, with natural woods and
gravel paths, a small garden and green house, a shed, and a couple of neat
log gates on the paths. pretty sure the dogs would love it.
the neighbors have several Aussies.

fourth house: we heard pitiful barking and whining from the back. two
shorn cockers, in separate kennels. the poor dears, it was only about 35
degrees (F) out there. they were absolutely starving for affection (yes, i
gave them pets through their cages). the house wasn't memorable.

fifth house: the pink house. very nice interior, and a stunningly
landscaped back yard and deck. two acres, one for livestock (they had
alpacas) and one for the dogs (grass and pea gravel). this house is second
on the list. it was a bit too pricey for the interior quality, but we'll
keep it in mind. in the driveway, we were greeted by a BC (or mix thereof)
puppy, who was all wiggles and licks and love. the SO had to drag me away
from that one, i was ready to take her home with me! i think she lives at
the neighbor's.

sixth house: new construction, very nice house, huge (3000 sf including
basement). smallish ( 3/4 acre) yard and near a major road. would have to
put up a serious fence on the street side. very nice, as it's brand new and
all. would have to do all landscaping ourselves. didn't see any dogs or
fences in the neighborhood. it was kind of close to neighbors (but on a
corner, so only on one side). very nice new neighborhood, so i'll have to
check for rules banning pit bulls.

last house. log home. i was looking forward to this one until we got
there. it's in serious disrepair, with mold in the pantry and warped
floors. obviously recently flooded. there was a malamute in the SUV in the
drive, but no one was home. i didn't pet the Mal. :-(

anyway, going to look at a few more this week. it's weird how the houses
all blend together, but i can remember which dog lived where.

oh, my real estate agent shows and very occasionally breeds Shar Peis. her
5 y/o champion female has a litter on the way, due in three weeks. we have
an invite to come play with the pups. i can't wait, Shar Pei puppies are
insanely cute!

It really sounds as if the Republican house needs to be
liberated.

that's exactly what we thought. you should have seen us when we stumbled
upon that sign. it was literally as big as the entire wall of the shed (the
shed housed a small john deer tractor, to give you an idea of size). when
we found the ammunition reloader upstairs in the "hobby room", with all the
NRA stickers on the shelving, it kind of cemented it for us.

i have a feeling liberation is near...

Cool! Hope it works out.

P.S. Around here, "small" yard constitutes a 3000+ sq. ft. house on a
..07 acre lot.
