bad news

We found out today that we lost another flat because they won't allow a dog! This one is a little more complicated than the last - too hard to explain on the blog. We have to be out of our current flat on the 9th, so Andy is out right now trying to see what's available to rent. I would be with him, but I'm feeling sick, and am not up to the multiple mile trek that will be involved in going to the estate agencies in the area begging for a place that will take a dog. This has been a very frustrating experience for me. All I can think when things go wrong here is that I want to leave and go back to Seattle. This clearly isn't an option - we wouldn't have a place to live there either - but it's always my first reaction. It doesn't help that I'm not feeling 100% at the moment. I'm not sure what we'll do if we don't find a place by the 9th, our current landlord would probably let us stay here. I don't think she's rented out the flat yet, but that would probably mean we're locked in until the end of May. I don't know if I can live in this flat until then, but our options are very limited at this point. I hear people commenting all the time about how the "English love their dogs", I guess they just mean that the English love their own dogs, but not other people's dogs.....

She's so cute and she doesn't bark that much!!
