....without a dog, until today. We swung by Petsmart after lunch (my girlfriend likes to look at the puppies and kittens out for adoption) and this little gal stuck out to me. I had zero intentions of getting a dog soon, but after spending 2 hours in the store trying to decide, I ended up taking Amber home. Not 100% sure what she is, but my guess is some kind of lab/bird dog mix. She is pretty small, 6 months old and only 35 lbs, plus she has small paws, but thats ok since I am in an apartment right now.
Unfortunately, her and the cat get along ok.
About 2 seconds after I told Beth she is not going to get on the furniture:

I thought that at first too, but she has some big old ears. I've never seen a pit mix with giant ears, lol.
I went to go pay my pet deposit today, and unfortunately the smart woman that works in the office wasn't there and I had to talk to the retarded 24 year old girl with a GA Southern marketing degree with an ego the size of Bibb County. The pet fee is $200 nonrefundable per animal plus $100 refundable, so I told her I felt like I was being scammed since I have helped manage investment properties before and I know that cleaning fees don't double if you have one animal or two. I told her it was nothing against her personally, she didn't write the rules, I am just not the type of person to sit there an take it when I think something is blatantly immoral. I also told her it wasn't fair that I would have to pay as much as someone with a terrible dog if I have a "damn good dog".
She told me she was personally offended because I said I felt like I was being scammed and she wouldn't stand for profanity in her office. WTF? The pussification of American continues. Since when is damn profanity in that context, its not like I damned her to hell? If she gets offended when someone knocks your company's business practices (that you didn't come up with) she needs to find a job where she doesn't have to deal with customers ever. I've had people call my company thieves to my face over several hundred thousand dollars and I didn't take offense because I knew he wasn't really attacking me. If you get your panties in a bunch over getting called a scammer over $200 of pointless charges, you need to find a new career.

Good looking dog there Jimbo.

I know your pain with the pet deposit.
When I was looking to move in with my girlfriend a few months ago it was going to cost me around $900 for first months rent, $900 for deposit. Then on top of that I have a dog and she has two, most places wanted a minimum of $300 per dog plus another $100 a month after that!
:bs)
3K just to move into a place I don't own is flat dumb.
So I beat the system and bought a house. Cost me $1500 out of pocket plus about $1500 in appliances at the scratch and dent store. And my mortgage is comparable to the rent I would have paid.
Btw, I love owning my own home.
-
I hear ya on that, I would love to buy a house instead of pissing away rent money every month, I just don't know where/if I will be moving after I graduate so there is no point yet.
-
Actually, if I know what I know now I would still be renting and just pay the crap out of my debt! House payments are alot more than rent. Just get a house without any debt. ;)
-
I guess that was my advantage starting off.
The only thing I owed any money on was my GTI.
But that was traded for the Jeep with smaller payments/ less upkeep.
Being without debt is a wonderful place to be.
