Re: Decent salary

OK, I'll bite! My fathers old joke (1950 - 60's vintage) went along the lines of:

Guy having a social chat with his boss at a BBQ with a few beers, subject somehow get around to Sudbury......

Guy: Sudbury?? Only two things come out of Sudbury - hookers and hockey players!
Boss: My wife comes from Sudbury!!
Guy: What team does she play for?

Seriously - I would got for Peterborough every time. Close enough to the country and within sensible distance of civilisation (Toronto, Ottawa or Kingston).

to be honest I have not thought of leash walking since my mutts in the park are off the leash most of the time. Will have to direct that question to people on the ground there in Peterborough and Sudbury.
Thanks again for your help

people often walk their dogs off leash in the countryside around Peterborough. They usually call them and leash them when they see another dog.. depending where youbendbuo living you may have enough land to walk them on your property.

message me if you have any questions about the area. I love 30 minutes from Peterborough

Dogs

All dogs must be leashed and under control when leaving your property.
You must have the ability to keep your dog under control to avoid unwanted contact with other people or animals.
Dogs living on rural properties of 0.5 hectares (1.2 acres) or more can run free if they remain on the owner’s private property.

The lower offer sounds better but I don't know if we would be able to live a normal life on it.
Any ideas?
Thanks

Hi there, I've lived in Peterborough for 8 years. It's not without its faults (where is?) but generally we think it's a great place to live. As others have mentioned, proximity to Toronto, Ottawa, and some great countryside are major plusses. Please feel free to PM me for any specifics about neighbourhoods etc.
Oh and 120K PA here should be ample for a comfortable lifestyle.
