Good news and owie news

[icewolf]

First, the good news. We saw the house today and it's very nice. Lives up to the hype, as it were. Unfortunately, we were one of about four parties who submitted rental applications just this morning. It's MY house! How dare they apply to live in MY house?! More good news, we explained about Darcy (10 years old, front declawed, and neutered) and the owner was cool. One of the other people who applied has two intact-in-all-senses-of-the-word which he sounded less than entranced with. (I can't imagine what claws would do to a hardwood floor *shudder*.) Even more good news, he's already started checking our references. So everybody think good thoughts.

The owie news: while exploring the neighborhood on foot, I stepped off a curb and sprained my ankle pretty badly. I'm in an air-cast for four weeks and I have a prescription for really good drugs. The good news that a couple of people from the neighborhood helped me up and stayed with me while torberg got the car.

And now there are people here, and I'm going to go shoot things to feel better. (I love Deadlands!)

Are we talking about dogs or cats?

If Cats, there isn't a lot they're going to do to hardwood.

Dogs won't do much either, if their nails are properly trimmed and the floor is maintained.

I have to agree. The cats we had growing up did an awful lot of slipping/sliding/scrabbling sideways on the hardwood floors, but I never did see any visible damage from them.

I think it's fair to say you've officially earned and are thus solely (with Tor, that is) entitled to the house. Sorry about your accident, absorb these good thoughts, and feel better soon!

Ow! I hope you heal quickly! I sprained my ankle last fall and it was NO FUN AT ALL.

Ouch! I remember spraining an ankle as a child, in Italy; it was scary and painful enough to be among my earliest childhood memories. Rest and recover well.
