In addition, if you are re- quired-to be away from home during the period of adjustment to usé of the dog, VA also may pay for your meals and lodging during that time. Q.

This reason being that! it is “different” down here. You are dead right that truly it was different and for the last few years my wife and I enjoyed this little city for, several weeks each winter season. However it is fast losing its charm due to the many housing authorities, the increased population of the Navy, but mainly to the noises that abound.
