Wow thanks DBXsoul - thanks for that! I'm sorry for the 'lengthy' post - I was trying to restrain myself! I haven't been able to speak much about this to anyone, and conversations with hubby are so brief!
I'm from Australia, and we have an adorable Bichon-Frise/Poodle cross. She is the light of our lives.

Hubby told me over the phone tonight that the rent is $60,000 australian a year! Is that right!??! That is insane money and something I can't my h...
It's not the size of the package that matters. It's how you use it. Care to elaborate? My husband is being offered a similar amount, and I'd like to know how to work this to our advantage. It is without question a great sum of money, but how far is it likely to go before it is wittled away with hug...
