I like cats and I wish I could have at least one but landlord sez no bueno to pets of any sort. I even asked once if I could get a parakeet and the answer was still no bueno.
His rationale was that if someone gets a pet of any sort then some dumbass would want a big ass dog unsuitable for an apartment and use that as a justification. I get it.
A big ass dog like this? Totally
not suitable for an apartment. The enclosed outdoor space is 1000 square feet.

The fallen post along with the gate attached to it, is the result of the dog going repeatedly up to get a better view of whatever intruders might be invading our territory.
Nothing gets close without our knowledge.
Deck construction is attributed to the previous owner.
Extending the deck is a current project in the renovations, ahead of working on my lab space.
The railing and stairs to be built will be greatly improved by the renovations.
It never ends, as the deck work is necessary to access the hot tub, which SWMBO insists must be operational before I commence any renovations in the bathroom.
(more on that later...)
