House Hunting Et Al

Still house hunting. The little maplewood house I love so much might be getting a makeover for me in anticipation that I will buy it from a general contractor.  I'm excited about it but still looking for a house in the interim.  Who knows if the numbers will work for me.  My price break is not a good one, there is a lot of "crap" out there. Ill kept foreclosures, poor neighborhoods and older homes without current updates (like air conditioning).

I really want to have my own piece of the american dream.

Thankfully on another note, Linus the rosebud seems to have stopped eating his own poop. Small blessings for progress even though he is still wrapped up as tight as a new bud on the bush.  Baby steps.  He is looking better, spine not so clearly visible but beginning to take an unformed sausage shape.  He did come up onto the porch on his own twice this week when I went back inside and actually took a nap on the door mat.  He is also getting better crashing down the stairs (maybe, it's probably my aid).

The muzzle punching the bowl also seems to have stopped and that's probably because I have stopped trying to hand feed him or hold the bowl. He is definitely more comfortable if I am several feet away.  He jerks if I touch him while he's eating and touching his head will cause him to bolt from the bowl altogether.
