Okay, as most of you know, we're a military family and we're due to change stations here soon. We dont have official orders yet so i dont have an exact move date. I am however panicking because as much as we want to buy a house so we dont have to deal with all the BS of a landlord telling us one thing and then turning around and telling us another and i refuse to give up my dogs and my cats because some idiot gets control happy. I am dying to own our own house. But...
I am coming to the conclusion that at this point in time, renting would probably be a plan right now. I hate apartments. I never want to live in another apartment as long as i live. Not to mention, walking dogs to go to the bathroom with two kids.... no. Not an option. I dont like living in a box surrounded by people who can hear everything through the wall. Not my cup of tea. I'm freaking out because at this point in time, i am seriously considering getting a loan to buy a big honking motorhome and living in that for the next 4-5 years just so i have the control. I have no desire to live on base housing where we are going. the rules and requirements they have ridiculous and obnoxious. I hate renting or being on base housing because they can just up and decide whenever to come in uninvited. I have enough issues with people who try to break in or cause trouble because they have nothing better to do. I'm seriously panicking because what we need, we probably cant afford right now and renting is a PITA because of the ignorance of breed restrictions and well... we all know GSDs are on the list 99.9% of the time. And if they're NOT on the list, there is naturally a weight restriction which again is another bogus excuse. I cant do stairs very well because of back problems and a knee issue. The back problems i've had since middle school and the knee problem since i was 17. neither of which are getting any better because of my weight issue. I'm working on losing weight but its tough with everything going on. I wish the time would just hurry up and pass simply for the fact we can buy a house back home and live there and not have to move again. I'm freaking out, which knowing me, will only get worse the closer it gets to move time. I moved out at 18, 3 days after i graduated high school because of the stupid rules my parents tried to enforce. I hate living places that other people decide what i have in my home. if i want a freaking mean as heck junkyard dog, nobody should be able to tell me otherwise as long as i handle my dog safely and properly. I understand animals cause damage. So do kids. But you dont see people charging kid rent! Or a kid deposit! or restricting kids (except in old folks communities which i think is also stupid because those people cant have their grandkids visit them). I'm a responsible person. If my animals are destructive, i pay for the damages and often fix the damages myself if possible.
I am just so stressed out about this and so many other things. We have to have a roof over our head. My inlaws cant and wont take our pets for us until we can find a place that will allow us to have them.
If anyone knows of any PET FRIENDLY NON APARTMENT rentals that arent ignorant about dog breeds and weight restrictions in Maryland near patuxent River naval air station or someone reliable that can help us out when the time comes, please let me know. i would greatly appreciate it.
