Homecoming

It’s Caturday and yous all showed up to hear ‘bout ow homecomin’ and to see fotos didn’t yous? Well as yous know weez wuz so ‘cited to come home and get back to livin’ and let mommy unpack all da boxes and put away ow fings fur anudder 11 years or so. But as yous know by now, nuffin’ wiff this company be dat simple, wight? So weez checked outta da motel and dwove home. Then weez took da long way home and went into town and video taped ow town fur all those wunnewin’ how small it weally be. And then weez finally weached HOME!!! Weez kuldn’t wait. so mommy got us outta da caw and da camewa and headed fur da door.

Mommy unlocked da door and turned on da camewa and pushed da door open and………all ow hearts sank. Mommy turned off da camewa and pushed us on in da house and shut da scween door. Then hers unzipped da stwoller and weez boff jumped out and just stood there a minute lookin’ wound. Where do weez go? How do weez get there? Mommy went back to da caw and got da litter box and sat it in fwunt of da door and then turned on da camewa and stawted takin’ fotos. Nun of da furniture wuz where it wuz posed to be, and boxes wuz piled up in fwunt of evewyfin’ Then da first box mommy looked at in da dinin’ room wuz clothes fwum da walk in closet in da bedroom. So dat meant da boxes wuzn’t even in da wight rooms. Mommy kuldn’t see da dinin’ room table or da micwowave which shulda been on da counter top. But then mommy touched da counter top and it had a thin layer of paint on it fwum da painters spway paintin’ da pawtment. Mommy walked on fwu da pawtment and into da bedroom. Weez kuldn’t even get to da bed, and nun of da furnitire in there wuz where it wuz posed to be. And then on to da closet, there wuz da dirty clothes basket, on da top shelf. Complete wiff dirty clothes. On into da pawdee box/laundwy room. Da washer and dwyer wusn’t hooked up, and mommy kuldn’t even see da hooman pawdee box. But, all of ow toilet paper wuz gone. Okay, fings awe not lookin’ good.

Back to da kitchen and there be a new, much smaller fwidge. Mommy opened da door, and evewyfin’ fell out onto da floor. Next to da new smaller fwidge is a new range. It’s not plugged in. Wight in fwunt of da new smaller fwidge in fwunt of da food cabinets is mommys sewing table. In fwunt of da sink be 2 gawment boxes blocking mommy fwum da sink and only leavin’ a small space fur mommy to inch fwu and bend down to pick up all da stuff fwum da fwidge. Then mommy turns and sees da dinin’ room table, outta place and wiff a gatorade bottle on it. Weez not dwink gatorade. Mommy picked it up and it be leakin’. It had stwipped mommys antique dinin’ room table. Mommy backs outta da dinin’ room and spots a twash can wiff chili on da twash bag. They had used ow twash bags and ate in ow house and left their gawbage. Mommy looked down into da sack and there wuz foil ashtrays and cigawette butts. Mommy finds one of ow towels wiif excess caulk on it and soakin’ wet. Mommy turned and looked into da livin’ room, and there wuz da hutch up against a wall wiff boxes stacked up as tall as it, and a file cabinet pushed up against da fwunt of it. Fur suwe nuffin’ is where it’s posed to be. Weez just left a motel and came home to a place weez can’t even eat, sleep, sit, shower, or pee at.

Mommy gets on da fone and calls da VEEP. Him’s in a meetin’. So hers calls housin’ and welays all this to da housin’ peeps hoo say they will get ahold of sumpawdy and get back to mommy at da neighbors house cuz weez not got da phones hooked up. Fankfully mommy had taken a fone to da motel and left ow innewnet stuff wiff a neighbor so she bwought it back home and found a plug and got it hooked up so we kuld hav a fone. Finally Cayla da snoopervisor calls mommy and is shocked dat mommy dusn’t fink evewyfin’ be just purrfect. Yous got to be kiddin’ meez, wight? Mommy laid into her and told her all she had found so faw and all da fings hers kuldn’t get too, and Cayla stawted cwyin’ and sed, “We wanted to give you all this new stuff and make you happy.” Happy?? Bull!!! They downgwaded da fwidge, and as weez later learned a foo udder fings too. They left a mess cuz nopawdy cleaned up after themselves and they left twash evewywhere. Weez had paid da went on this pawtment fur da munff and hav a signed years lease. This wuz not sum place they wuz posed to be duin’ whatevew they wanted to in. Mommy went back outside, and looked over and saw ow laundwy soap and litter mat all sittin’ on da fwunt porch. Well da snoopervisor sed she wuld twy to get a hold of sum peeps to figger all this out but she wus suwe they left a paff to da bed and she fawt she had picked up and used a gawbage bag fwum under ow sink to fwo away evewyfin’. And so mommy looked under da sink, and evewyfin’ had been rummaged fwu and ow dish soap is missin’.

This is da entwance to da walk in closet and da foo fings yous can see in there be all dat’s there. Those boxes closest to mommy, be in da doorway and blockin’ putting anyfin’ there.

So finally housing called back and asked ifin mommy had heard anyfin’ and wunnewed why they didn’t weplace da vanity in da pawdee box room. Da top be covered in a tile of sowts and it has a bwoken awea dat exposes da pawticle board it’s made of, and is gwowin’ mold. Yous wanna know wha they did to it? They painted it. They weplaced da kitchen faucet even. There wuz nuffin’ wong wiff any of da fings they weplaced, and most be less than 4 years old. Da mold gwowin’ vanity…………it be ovew 25 years old. Well da soonest they wus gunna send anypawdy out wuz Caturday. Da maintenance man hoo nevew weplied to mommy when da a/c wuz floodin’ da place, is posed to be here to hook up da washer and dwyer, and hims posed to caulk da toilet, but dat baby toilet ain’t stayin, and mommy ain’t gunna hav da maint. man caulk sumfin’ dat needs to be weplaced ASAP!!!

Weez not know da extent of da damages till da furniture gets put away and mommy can stawt to unpack da boxes. Weez not know which stwanger handled evewyfin’ dat wus in da fwidge, but mommy sez hers feels so violated. Weez found yet anudder towel they used wiff dat caulkin’. They just kinda made themselves at home in ow pawtment. and da mangement nevew once fawt ‘bout hoo lived in this pawtment. Da toilet be a purrime example. This just be da highlights, there be faww too much to go into. Da mover posed to be here Sunday to move all this wound so weez can unpack and get back to livin’ and fightin’ diffewent fights. So ow homecomin’ wusn’t what weez had hoped fur but is paw fur da course as faw as this company is concerned.

Mommy sez sowwy it be blurry and to ignore hers big ghost white knee, it’s there to show dat da toilet not even come up to hers knee.

Till da nex time…………………Be Blest!!!

Comedy Amid The Stress

OMC what a day weez had. Well yous all fink based on yesfurdays posty dat weez be in da motel and ow cawpet is bein’ installed. Well as weez told yous afur, weez not be liaws and weez will always tell da twuff on meez bloggy to da bestest of ow ability. But when udder peeps be involved sumtimes da twuff we told turns out not to be cuz of da udder peeps. We awe still in ow pawtment and da cawpet’s not bein’ weplaced. But afur yous lose it, wait’ll yous hear ow update. Since weez shawin’ mowe update news (we hope not too many mowe) then me fawt me wuld shawe meez latest video wiff yous fur sum comic welief.

Ifin yous can’t see da video, click here to go to YouTube.

As we told yous yesfurday mommy had been workin’ on an email dat wuld lay down da law so to speak. Well hers got it witten and sent so they wuld all get it when they walked into da office. And then today, mommy stawted callin’ all da peeps hers kuld find. All da newspapers, t.v. stations, guvewnment agencies, etc.. Hers left message after message, and then wound 4 p.m. hers got a hold of da ADA (Americans wiff disablity peeps) Hers wuz havin a chat wiff hers ‘bout da situation when da fone stawted wingin’ and wingin’. So after mommy got off da fone she checked da voice mail and heard a kupple calls fwum Louis (da snoopervisors, snoopervisor) and a call fwum Cayla (da snoopervisor) So mommy called Cayla back as she be da only one dat left a nummew and da nummew weez had fur da management company sed weez had da wong nummer. So mommy calls Cayla and hers asked mommy (not vewy nicely) ifin hers wanted da pawtment painted. So mommy splained da paintin’ fing again, and Cayla sed, “let me call Louis and let him call you and discuss all this with you.”

So a foo minutes later Louis called mommy and sed dat hims wanted to fank mommy fur bein’ such a loyal tenant. And hims wanted to reward hers wiff a whole new pawtment. Hims wanted to paint and weplace da cawpets and da tiles and put cawpet where there’s cawpet and these (fake wood) planks where there be tiles. And they wuz gunna hire da movers to pack, move and store and then put back all of our stuff and put us up in our choice of motel fur da duwation. Hims sed hims wanted to do this to show mommy how much hims purreciated all da years of hers exemplary tenancy. (yeah wight, it’s cuz of hers fightin’ and callin’ ‘em on da cawpet <pawdun da pun> and sicin’ Housing on ‘em– altho’ mommy is an exemplary tenant) Mommy dusn’t cawe, hers just wants it dun. Weez lived here 11 years and da pawtment wusn’t painted, cleaned or wepaired when weez moved in, so weez do deserve it. Hims sed when we come home fwum da motel weez will come home to a bootyful fwesh new pawtment. OMC this guy shuld sell women’s shoes, or used caws.

Anyways, hims has da floorin’ peeps scheduled and da movers, and da motel bein’ weserved. Pendin’ on when da movers purrfur, weez will eevew be goin’ to da motel this weekend on Caturday or Sunday and comin’ home eevew Wednesday or Fursday of nex week. This time be no joke. Da Housin’ lady will be back in da office this Fursday and hers gunna wanna hav a purrogwess weport of case closed or da exact dates it will be dun so hers can come out and do an inspection. And of course mommy be dun purrlayin’ and accommodatin’ ‘em. So this time it weally be happenin’. Da nex update yous will hear (paws cwossed) will be us in da motel and then us wiff fotos of da “new pawtment”. Oh and at sum point weez will post an update dat mommy got a new chair to sit in. Even tho’ da cawpet’s gunna be new and clean, it’s still da floor and gunna be hawd on mommy so hers gunna hav to get a chair.

Anyways,weez needed to splain why weez not be in da motel and not gettin’ cawpet now and giv yous all da good news. Weez purreciate all of yous support, well wishes, purrs and purrayers. keep ‘em up as da job’s not ovew yet, but weez awe on da wight twack at this point. And they’ve gone back to da owiginal plan.

Meez fawt me wuld show yous a foto of how spoiled sis Lexi be. Weez hav da bestest mommy in da univewse. Mommy took this foto yefurday while makin’ ow dinner. As yous know Lexi be gettin’ on in years and hers gets along gweat since mommy put hers on da Barley Cat, but why wuld she jump up on sumfin’ ifin mommy kuld pick hers up and put hers where she wants to be. (she can get in da chair by hers selff, yous notice she be taller than da seat and she’s not even standin’ all da way stwaight. hehehe But she duz need help gettin’ up on sum of da fings in da house, specially da bed).

Did Sumpawdy Say New Carpet?

Well how awe yous all duin’ today? Suwe hope yous enjoyed yesfurday’s blog posty. Wusn’t Tennyson a gweat mancat? Meez suwe hopes yous all shawed hims so he can find hims furevew home soon. See weez wanted to do sumfin’ to help kitties and since mommy can no longer foster cuz of where weez live, and wiff all dat’s been goin’ on lately hers hasn’t been able to volunteer wiff da spay/neuter clinic, so weez ‘cided to shawe a kitty hoo needs a home evewy week. Weez weally ‘cited ‘bout this and hope yous awe too. Weez also wanna fank yous up fwunt fur shawin’ ‘em each week. Ifin weez all band tugedder and shawe fur each udder then maybe, just maybe weez can find a lot of kitties their furevew homes.

Now fur da yucky pawt of meez posty. An update ‘bout ow pawtment situation. So last week weez sent management an email and cc’d evewypawdy includin’ da Housin’ authowity and put them on notice dat this was an emergency and dat they wuz violatin’ mommys fair housin’ status cuz of hers disablity due to da condition of da pawtment and their lack of action. (they hav weplaced all floors in da next door pawtment where da flood originated, boof times; and da one on da udder side of it since this all began) We also suggested da fair market value of ow pawtment shuld be adjusted. Dat means they shuld be gettin’ less munny. Well, what’d’ya’ know, they called us back Furiday meownin’ and wanted to schedule sumfin’ fur this week. Thweaten thier munny and get sum action. But they wuz still wantin’ mommy to find hers own place to go and pay fur it, and pack and move evewyfin’ hers selff. Well mommy put hers foot down and sed NO. Course it helps dat mommy be sick cuz hers can’t do nuffin’ wight now even ifin hers wuld.

So today at almost 6:30 p.m. da snoopervisor calls and tells mommy they awe gunna be weplacin’ da cawpets on Wednesday and puttin’ us in a motel Tuesday night (tonight) fwu Fursday meownin’. And dat managers and maint. men awe gunna be movin’ our stuff. But dat they awen’t gunna weplace da tiles in da kitchen, dinin’ room, and pawdee box room. Oh No she did not say dat to mommy after puttin’ hers on hold fur so long. Well………mommy kep hers cool (as she wuz bein’ taped, altho they don’t know mommy knew it) and informed her dat da job wuld not be completed til da tiles wuz weplaced as well. Cuz there wuz water under neaff ‘em and it seeps out evewy once in a while and reeks of uwine and is most likely growin’ mold.

Da idiot snoopervisor asked mommy what hers meant by contaminated. Mommy had alweady spelled it out in da email hers sent, but hers told da snoopervisor again ‘bout da neighbors dog who used da floor fur hims pawdee and dat hims had worms and God only knows what else. And dat nopawdy evew cleaned da floors ovew there cuz they had intended to weplace them. So then hers tells mommy dat hers wuld need mommy to put in writin’ dat she be wefusin’ da cawpet. And mommy sed she wusn’t wefusin’ da cawpet she’s just sayin’ dat this isn’t ovew and da job isn’t complete (and dat mommy’s gunna stay on them like white on rice) until da tiles be weplaced. Mommy also told hers dat she went to da doctor and hims gav hers antibiotics and sed till mommy not be bweathin’ in those germs anymowe hers wuldn’t get well. Mommy also told da snoopervisor that when da floor peeps wuz here they came to weplace ALL da floors not just da cawpet, and evewypawdy wuz aware of dat fact and so wuz Rural Development (Housing). She told mommy she wuld hav to get back to hers Tuesday (today). so maybe while yous be weadin’ this weez be twyin’ to figgew out how to make suwe dat management duz what they awe supposed to.

Da local manager has hawassed mommy evew since hers took ovew wantin’ mommy to get rid of sum of hers fings. (weez do hav quite a bit, but weez not be hoarders and Housin’ has inspected and sed evewyfin’ is fine) And they awe always wantin’ to take fotos of ow fings and mommy won’t let them. So weez got to figger out a way to say in an email dat puts them on notice, dat even tho’ weez not be here, they still can’t take fotos of our fings due to ow wight to purrivacy, and dat they awe financially wesponsible fur all ow fings since they not be movers wiff insuwance fur these kinds of fings. Cuz as yous know, movers hav insuwance dat covers damages when they pack and move stuff. Yous might hav to pay a bit extwa, but they hav it. And since weez not wesponsible fur any of this, weez not payin’ nuffin and weez not signin’ nuffin’ da weleases them.

Well this isn’t zackly da posty weez had wanted to make today, but weez know yous all been followin’ ow situation and purrayin’, purrin’, and sendin’ well wishes ow way so weez knew yous wuld wanna know what be goin’ on. Fanks fur all yous suppowt and purrlease keep up da purrayers, weez not on da udder side of this yet. Ifin any of yous hav any ideas ‘bout da wordin’ weez shuld use, email us fur suwe. Weez wuld fur suwe purreciate dat. Unfortunately weez not had anyword fwum legal aid and da lady fwum housin’ is outta da office till Fursday, so no help there eevew.

Till da nex time………Be Blest!!!
