It ' s understandable why a landlord doesn ' t want to deal with that . But it also is one of the reasons why renting is not a reasonable longterm solution . You ' re paying a shit load of money to squat in somebody else ' s home . I just want a damn dog . As a child I ' d be told me that I could have one when I was an adult , and I still can ' t , when up until recently I was paying almost half my salary on rent . <| sep |> Don ' t you dare repeat a validrelevant point that was made by someone else on the internettel days ago in a separate discussion . You dirty , proletarian ! <| sep |> Just a thought , but why don ' t you ask a pediatrician for an interview ? They would be one of the first readily available professionals that I would contact if I had to interview someone about immunizations .
