Piss and Shit

My husband grew up in houses his father built and paid for in cash. My parents never bought a house, I mostly lived in apartments. For our wedding gifts we asked for money so we could build up a down payment.
My husband became obsessed with buying a house soon after he got his great job. I was very skeptical. I thought we needed 20% down. Not so it turns out. I let him do all the looking since I was convinced we were a very long way from purchasing. It took awhile before I could be convinced to go look at places. I was very scared of getting attached to a house then learning we couldn't buy it because we didn't have the money after all. Well, that has happened but so has a myriad of other things. Buying a house is whack and I am here now to chronicle our adventures nearly 2 years after starting this process.
I just want to let it be known: There are way too many houses out there with animal feces in them. That's right. I am going to say that, oh, ALL the houses we have looked at, roughly 40 or more, have ALL had some sort of dog shit, cat piss, rabbit funk and blood in them. WTF people! WTF!!!!! James, my husband, and I have looked at houses all over the price range. They all have this animal fiasco. It's disgusting and sadly no longer a surprise. Currently we are in the process of buying a short sale (which is anything but short) and we were so pumped this house didn't have that problem. As we go back to work out logistics we have sadly seen it happen. A few times we drove to the house just to check it out. Both times we have seen this cute little white dog yapping it up, alone. We went the other day into the house with our agent and the dog was gone. In our favorite room, a huge reason we picked this house, it reeked of piss and there was a green towel by the door. Soaking up dog pee. I wanted to scream. The owner accepted our offer, it's OURS. She has her own place. She is leaving her dog, at our place alone, for hours, to pee in the house. Why can't she keep the dog at her own place? How is she leaving it for so long? Why is it inside? We may walk away from this one. It's starting to show problems. For starters it's going to need new carpeting. Secondly and thankfully the appraiser came before he was asked and found some expensive problems. We are trying to see if we can work them out but for me, it's the pee.
