.... cuz she just put a bid in to buy this for ME ....... oLlIe
See .... my doggy door is already there too.
Looks like a nice back yard for a little dog to run around in! All of us in Illinois will keep fingers and "paws" crossed for you!! :thumb:
Nice Ruth and Ollie! Let us know if you have the "winning" bid! Must be something in the air in looking at houses.....Dave and I saw a house that we fell in love with and we are seriously considering putting our place up for sale and building in the housing development that we like with the floor plan that we love. It would put us closer to the kids and has much better square footage for Dave's mobility. All one level with absolutely no steps which would be great for Sarge and Duggie and Dave and I. Dee
Wow looks like great place to run to your hearts content, Good luck getting it.
fingers crossed for you all....................and Ollie that looks like a great yard.

Perfect place for you and a little long dog! It's so neat tidy. I love flat yards, great fence too (and doggie door!) Fingers and paws crossed you and oLlIe get it!

Seriously???? WOW - looks wonderful !!! Tell us more !
WooooHooooo! I hope you get your price! What a yard! :hello2:
That looks really great. Here's hoping that everything comes together and you will get the place. Then we can really call you KING OLLIE! :xfinger: :xfinger: :xfinger:
Thanks for the good vibes. This is a short sale , so I might be in for a long wait. But I think I have just as much chance as anyone else.
Ollie and I walked around the neighborhood and met a smooth brindle boy named Remmy and saw a B&T too. Good sign !
Love it!! Hope you get it. What a yard, too!! :apls:
Fingers crossed for you 2! :xfinger: The wait must be excruciating. Really REALLY hoping you get it and then sell yours fast too. I think meeting another doxie is a good sign also! :thumb:
(LOL yeah Auntie Karen, right up there with cookin'! ) :grin:
Looks like a palace fit for a king! I say the doggie door, and meeting two other doxies is a sure sign that it is meant to be! Good luck!!!
The seller signed off on the bid ! now I have to wait for the ok from the bank for a short sale. PANIC mode.
We are still keeping fingers&paws crossed in Illinois for you! Will be praying! :pray:
Good Luck again.
Yeah!! How exciting Ruth! Keep us posted! :thumb:
We are hoping everything goes quickly and smoothly. Okay - nosy me - what room(s) is/are behind the three smaller windows? Nice backyard - it's so suitable for perimeter patrol.

The windows = bathroom in master bedroom, 1/2 bath, and laundry/utility room.
The first floor has open style livingroom, dinning, kitchen, master bedroom with bath, then 1/2 bath and laundry.
I swear .... I am just buying the yard for oLlIe .......
How exciting!!!!! Fingers crossed!
Great news!! At least one hurdle has been jumped. Hopefully the next one will be just as easy. You and Ollie are going to be so happy!!
:thumb: we're all thinking goooood thoughts down here.

When the kids were looking for a house last year (they started looking in January, found a house they really liked and it was a short sale. They put an offer in on it in January and heard absolutely nothing (they were the only bid) back. Their offer was even higher than the asking price. After waiting and waiting, they started to look again in March, found another house (that was not a short sale) in April and closed on that house by May 1. They pulled their offer on the first house.......short sales can be a pain and their responses in trying to find out what is happening is nothing! We wish you luck, Ruth!
I have always heard that the waiting is unbearable on a short sale....I hate that for you !!! :xfinger: that Friday you hear something !
Wishing luck with the house.
:xfinger: :xfinger: :xfinger: :pray: :xfinger: :xfinger: :xfinger:

YAHOODIES !!!
Very Very BERY kewl !!! Love it !! Huge Congrats for an awesome New Year prezzie !!! And hey, doggie doors are easy to put in !!!
The inspection was GREAT ................ nothing to worry about. .................. A WHOLE LOT OF PAINT...... and some new flooring.
YES!! :hello2: :hello2: :hello2:
Yea!!!!! Merry Christmas, Ollie!! And Ruth! It's always fun to buy a present for yourself, and this was a big one. The yard looks fantastic and that view from the deck is awesome. Ollie is going to love it and have a great way to use up some of his energy. So happy for both of you!!!
Schatzi says the only thing bad about that kind of fence is not being able to see who the voices belong to on the other side of it. It's okay, though, you can still bark and let them know you are there (and she does, believe me!).
Congratulations my sister has a glass door with a dog door in it she loves it. Glad you got the house I;m sure Ollie will love it.
