This week’s Arlington Pet of the Week is Hudson, a rescue dog. He enjoys riding in the car with his owners, particularly if they’re heading to an outdoor festival. But sometimes he just wants to chill out at home in a big pile of pillows.
Here’s a little more from Hudson’s point of view, as translated by his owner, Dayna:

Q. My fiancé and I are in the market to buy our first home. We currently rent in Arlington and are wondering how we should go about looking for a home from a timing perspective. Is it better to shop a few months before your lease is up so there is a clean break? If we buy a house and have six months left on our lease, what is the best way to get out of it? What are the best times of year to buy? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I picked a hell of a day to get food poisoning this week — right before my birthday. Not that I’m a big birthday guy, mind you: I try to avoid people finding out about it, keep things low-key. Still, I was determined to open a couple special beers in my “cellar” (aka my basement fridge) and as your intrepid Beermonger felt a responsibility to do so. At least that’s what I told myself.

Q. I saw one of those real estate TV shows the other day where the buyers were allowed to live in the house for several days before they completed the purchase. It was a great way to test drive the house if you will. Is it possible to arrange this on a purchase in the Arlington area?
