Dog? What dog?

i had a hellish day today on the real estate front. i went to the apartment for the inspection. it turns out that the sellers didn't know that my moving in was contingent on mac being welcome. it also was revealed that the by-laws limit dogs in the condo to one dog under 25 lb per condo. the by-laws also forbid children under 14 (of which there are many in the complex). the realtors had a fight over who had dropped the ball. luckily the sellers are smart and competent people and we negotiated directly. they found the vice president of the homeowners' association who has two dogs and another member of the HOA who has a large dog. i might not get the assurance in writing, but if i talk with these two and feel reassured, that will be enough for me.
