Thanks G. My dog is small so he shouldn't be a problem. Depends on how antsy landlords are really. The biggest issue is finding a place that fits my budget that also allows pets. Should be a fun time *groan*
As for the holiday, I'm still looking forward to it being in the rearview mirror more than when I'm actually there but I have managed to sort things out to the point where I can enjoy my time there without any guilt about spending.
