House Hunting

DH and I want to get out of renting as soon as possible so we have been looking around at houses and getting loan quotes. We found an amazing house here in San Angelo but unfortunately we don't qualify for enough to buy it. DH has about $50,000 in student loans and even though they are in non repayment they are counting towards his income to debt ratio and brings down his loan quote to about $50,000. The house we like so much is priced at $89,900. It is a large house on 3 plots with a nice sized back yard. Unfortunately we won't be getting the house unless the sellers get desperate enough to drop the price in half. :o) They did however have an aspect of the house that we could take with us.

The owners, we found out, moved to San Antonio and left their elderly Chow Chow behind. They said he was too old to travel, but I think he just needs a hair cut. He moves around really well; I think his hair is just matted enough that he can't move around well enough. Once we have the space for him I plan on asking the family if we can adopt him. I'm gonna take him in immediately to my vet to have him immunized and to get his matted hair shaved off and check him for "hot spots" that Chows tend to get. They tend to get these "hot spots" when their fur is matted and dirt can't escape and rubs against the skin. I am so tempted to go pick him up today but I would hate to take him away from his nice sized yard and bring him to our apartment with a small backyard area.
