  • Well, for this evening, I have managed to find a friend of a friend's floor to sleep on. After Friday, who knows!?

    Ahh ok hopefully you will find something before Friday then.

  • Wow, Lauren..I wish you the best of luck to find something quickly and troublefree.

  • Hope you find somewhere soon!

  • No worries guys!! I think it's all a part of being a student once more. =) I'm not too worried, well not yet at least. Thanks for all the well wishes.

    I do have one question, perhaps someone could enlighten me on..Is is terribly difficult to let a flat with a dog here in Scotland ? I never ran into much trouble in Switzerland and France, but I'm a little out of my element at the moment.

  • It just depends on the landlord or agent. Be honest with them and you should be okay. Some landlords just worry about mess etc but make it clear when you enquire.

  • I'm up in the far north (Shetland) if you ever venture this far on your travels :)

  • Checking in again.. you all are so marvelous for your well wishes! They are greatly appreciated.

    I'll be honest and say that things have not gone too smoothly. In fact my director of studies was so innapropriate at our meeting that I almost went home to San Francisco yesterday. It seems there has been a massive misunderstanding with University and I was placed in the wrong year. So there is some sorting out to do… add that with needing a flat - well you all can see there has been some serious stress.

    But, now I have a hotel, I think I'll just book it up for a few weeks so I can have some semblance of stability. So consider me available for rendez vous from here on out =)

  • Lauren, I am so sorry things have turned out so sour.
    I sure hope you find a solution soon and that your time in Scotland will be good time spent among friends.

  • Oh gosh Lauren things have not gone very smoothly for you have they:(
    I hope it will all sorted out very soon for you so you can relax a bit and enjoy your time in Edinburgh:D

    @lvoss: Not supporting Eukanuba/Iams but every link on that site is an internal one and they are obviously biased and pushing an animal rights agenda. Some of the copy is over the top but data appears solid. Our western culture seems entrenched in the belief other species do not experience pain nor do they have rich emotional lives.

    This was on the news tonight and Senator Dianne Feinstein is pushing a bill through to ban the use of BPA.

    I should add that Seti hurt his paw as soon as I started training. He was on "house arrest" for a month and the doctor told us that we were not to allow him to run or jump. Yeah right - like that's going to happen!!! Anyhow, Seti is all better but I wanted to add a little basenji tale to the story :)

    That is too cool!!! It is impossible to watch without smiling. (even though I found myself worrying for Bailey when he/she disappeared in the snow.) I think the dog is "Bailey the snow mole"! Thank you for sharing that morning smile with us. Pat
