I got divorced earlier this year and have been in the process of buying a house for a few months. I finally settled on a tear-down/rebuild project. I just found out I close in one week! That means River and Mal will finally be back with me (they've been staying with my ex who loves them and watches them while I travel anyway).
Here are the things I've had the builder change because of my dogs:
-Fence the whole yard, not a postage stamp size potty pad
-Light fixtures had shades on them. I'm sorry, have you SEEN the way Newf hair accumulates on a lamp shade?
-Paint needs a glossier finish. Why? I have to be able to wash the drool off it...
-Back stairs need to be wider. My two knuckleheads like to go up and down at the same time!
-Harder floors. Impenetrable, preferably. Should have just had them leave the concrete
And the last change that has cemented my rep as crazy dog lady? The master bathroom door needs to swing out not in. It was blocking the bathtub and if River can't guard my bathtime she would just break down the door anyway!
