Yes, but I live in a small flat with no back yard (except the beach down the road). My tenancy agreement says no pets and I cannot afford to live in a house where I can have pets. I have looked around but cannot find anything close to my budget. The best (dump of a house) is over $100 more a week than I currently pay so I will stay put without a beloved friend.

For those with physical pain issues; does the weather affect your body?
