After our neighbours let us know they do not want a fence whilst they sell their house, everything came to a halt. There was nothing to do. Quotes expired, talking to fencing contractors became a pointless exercise, and looking for a little hairy friend on the internet also became pointless. Our holidays, which we had hoped would be spent landscaping the back yard after the fence was erected, turned into a sloth-fest. Extreme summer heat and lack of airconditioning in our house forced us to seek refuge in shopping malls and cinemas. If we weren't escaping the heat we just blobbed around like a couple of sacks of potatoes. Having a canine mate would have forced us to be active. It has been a disappointing vacation.
Meanwhile, the neighbours have had tradesmen in their house beautifying it for the sale ... whenever that may be! We do not know when they will put the property on the market, but it had better be soon. They are certainly not telling us a damn thing. And, to rub salt into the wound, they have gone away on holiday for two weeks!!!! I will be very old and even greyer than I already am before we get a dog! Ho hum.
