Show me the Money!
How sad is it that the tiny, insignificant act of booking a room brings back fond travel memories. Once more, I wish to be independently wealthy so I can travel all over the place and take my friends with me...LOL!
I paid a whopping $244 to discover that Sammie, the dog, is about a year old and very healthy. And I haven't even had her fixed yet!?! Having an electronic fence installed would cost $750 so now I waffle over aesthetics versus economics. Of course, I have no idea what a chain link fence would cost but I suspect it would be less. A fence is a must, though, so a decision has to be made. I am sure that my income tax return will make it somewhat easier. Still, never having owned a dog, my practical side is aghast! All this cash for Little Orphan Mutt.
I did replace the heat pump today. While I am sure my electric bill will demonstrate a positive effect, it was no fun forking over the moolah. All of these issues make me really paranoid. As I am taking a shower in the morning, I tend to think, "wonder when the hot water heater is going to go?" While doing the dishes, I ponder whether the dishwasher going to make it much longer. It would seem that I am more of a fan of home improvement over home maintenance or else I'd be posting pics of the new heat pump.

You should post a pic of Sammie.

I will post a pic at some point. Cat and Dog keep their distance from one another. Sammie is afraid of her, though she doesn't know it.

And if prices are the same as when I looked a few years ago? The electric one will be cheaper than a chain link.
As for the pondering of impending homeowner doom? I do that all the time! It is apparently about to happen to me since I just spent the bulk of my savings on painting the house. (But it looks SO good!)

I am surprised to hear that electric is cheaper than chain link but someone else told me that as well. I love it that I now always have a walking partner.
