It is almost 2:30 am on Monday and mum cannot sleep. She has woken me up and gotten me off my nice comfy recliner so that we can post here!!! I tried to tell her I was too tired but it did not seem to bother her. This leads into the story of our excitement (not) on my Sunday morning walk. I may have mentioned that they have dug up my doggy park here so we have to think of some other way for me to do my business. On Saturday morning walking alongside the wash was fine. Mum thought that the path on the other side of the wash looked a little better, so sunday that was where we went. Everything was fine and I did my business so she made a U-turn and guess what? The chair got stuck in the stones which were bigger than the other part of the path. Mum absolutely could not get the chair moving, and she realized that she did not have her phone with her!!!! I should mention here that there was a fence with lots of houses on one side of us and apartments across from us!!!! So mum started yelling "HELP". This went on for about 15 minutes until finally someone came. She had a phone so she called 911 and waited with me till the fire truck arrive with 3 hefty firemen!!! They got the chair unstuck and followed us along a better part of the path so make sure we did not get stuck again before we reached a pavement!!!! So, a walk that should have taken about 10-15 minutes took over an hour -- needless to say we will not go along there. We finally got home around 9-15 and the newspaper had not been delivered. She called the number we have and the mechanical milly took the info and said the paper would be delivered. It did not arrive till around noon! Mum gave me a Frosty Paws for being such a good girl during all this!!!
On another subject, I may have mentioned that when mum was in the hospital last year and I went to with Jen (another long story which I may repeat some time), she took my Service Dog vest (among other things) and although mum begged her to return that plus the other stuff and she always had an excuse why she could not make it. Mum was on the phone with one of her nieces in England that she had not spoken to in some time. While they were catching up mum mentioned about the cost of replacing the vest and Debbie asked mum for her address and said she would send the money so she could get me a new one!!!! At least SOMETHING nice came out of!!!!
As I mentioned is now 2:45 am and I am going back to sleep !!!!!

MUM IS REALLY PO'D
Uncle Vic has really been p&*&&^ mum off. Yesterday he called her (and woke her up) at 5 am because his internet had been shut off cos he had a past due amount. Mum was finally able to do it by phone (why he could not do it by phone -- he was able to call mum) and got the amount paid.
today he just called cos he could not use his e-mail to contact someone, and he wanted her to look it up. He really did not have enuf info for her to do it, and so he started yelling and calling her names -- she ended up hanging up on him!!!!!!! She has not had enuf caffeine today cos her Keurig was not working properly -- it seems to work for a couple of weeks and then *kaput*. She spent about a half hour with Keurig and had to stand to do what the rep told her, so her back was really hurting -- so were her hands cos of what they wanted her to do! It finally started working again -- hope she doesn't have any more problems with it!!!!! Can our blogger buddies end her some good wishes so she feels better about things?????? When she went to take me out this morning the door from t he hallway to the outside was jammed!!!! We had to walk all the way to the end of the building to get out (and back in). Also, my doggy park is not accessible right now!!!! They are putting a Verizon cell tower in and so they are taking up some parking spaces!!!! In order to replace these parking spots they are moving the dog park!!!! I don't envy the people who are digging up the dog park cos it probably smells to high heaven because of all the pee mails and poops there!! LOL Anyway, mum called the office and they said that it would take a couple of weeks before it will be available for my use!!!! Mum told the office that (as they know) mum is not able to pick up my poops so hopefully there will not be complaints about it!!! When she was out yesterday she noticed a couple of areas that I might be able to use -- hope I find some interesting pee mails there!!!
So, as you can see, I need lots of luv from all my buddies for my mum!!!
(now the kitties are chasing each other all over the place, too)

OMD -- POOR AMBER DA WEENIE AND MAX (HER BRUDDER)
I finally got mum to do this post. If Frankie and Ernie were still running their law office efficiently (!) this would be a perfect case for them. Amber and Max's mum and my mum were on the phone the other evening when their mum got home from work and in the background we could hear Max howling and barking. Turns out it was waaaaaaay past their dinner time, and their mum and my mum were too busy yakking it up for them to get their dinner. Thank Dog my mum feeds me in the morning when we get home from my walk. Although yesterday I did not get my walk!!!!! It was raining allllll day, and mum has to be careful about getting the joystick on her wheelchair (plus other parts of it) wet and also she I afraid of melting in the rain -- LOL
On Wednesday Luna finally had her stitches out and so no longer has to wear her cone of shame. She is one very happy kitty without the cone. However, when mum got off the van coming home, it was raining quite hard, so she was not very happy about that!!! I did get a walk and a bit of a run in the dog park here this morning, but it was in between rain showers, and although mum had promised me another walk, we couldn't go 'cos of the rain the rest of the day!!!!
Well, mum has told me this is as long a post as we are gonna do today, so

JUST BITS AND PIECES
Well, not a heck of a lot going on here. Luna still has her cone on and is not very happy about it. She is having her stitch out this week. Mum said she is going to call and see if she can take the cone off!
Mum got me some Frost Paws -- yum!!! She will give me one if I have been really good -- but usually when she goes out and leaves me to take care of the kitties!! Discovered we have new neighbors across the hall -- They are Mormon missionaries an move every 6 months or so. First time since I have lived here (just over a year) that we have males!!!! My next door neighbors are also moving within the next week or so. Mum and I are not very happy about that!!! Not too happy about the location they are going to -- also they are moving to a third floor apt with no lift!!! She has been practicing going up and down stairs -- we wish her good luck!!!! The last apartment mum had before moving from Cleveland Ohio was a third floor walkup. She was quite a bit younger and not handicapped, but was REALLY glad when she moved out of there!!
Our upstairs neighbors are also sposed to be moving. They are the ones who bang on the floor whenever I bark when mum takes me out early in the morning. Mum has also received 3 letters from Animal Control about my barking. The leasing manager is really POd at THEM, not at me or mum!!
*Sigh* Oh well, he trials and tribulations of living on the ground floor in an apartment building!!
As I say, not much going on here so I don't want to bore you!!!! So I will say

THIS 'N THAT
Phew, mum had trouble getting to this page!!!!! No pics today -- hopefsully next time.
Anyhoo this past couple of weeks have been kinda hectic for mum -- between her doctor's appointments and getting Sapphire and Luna spayed. They were both s'posed to have been spayed at the same time last week, but the carrier mum put Luna in disintegrated twice and after the second time she hid and mum couldn't find her so she just took in Sapphire. It was a veerry loooong day for mum. The van picked her up around 5:45 am and did not get her home til almost 3 pm. The place where she took her was about 15 miles from here, and there were several other people that the van picked up and dropped off. Mum had not slept well cos she was afraid of oversleeping!!! Anyway, when she go there, she had to wait out in the cold for a while -- that is a major problem when using the paratransit -- if she doesn't arrange for the van to get her there early, then she can get there late. Also, they can make her wait (they give her a 30 minute pickup window) but if she is late, they will leave without her (although this past Monday morning, she overslept and was woken up by the telephone with her "courtesy call" -- which is 5 minutes before pickup -- she then had to rush around to get dressed and out in time -- but she got out there in time. Of course I did not get my walk or get fed -- she had just enuf time to give me a marrow bone treat) Anyway, the place where the kitties got spayed is a non-profit and gets grants for people who are on fixed incomes like mum. They agreed that Luna would still come under the graft when she came in yesterday, thank goodness. Mum had taken stuff to keep her occupied, but it was still a long day. She was able to go to McDomald's for breakfast while waiting. Sapphire was wearing a cone of shame when mum brought her home so she could not manage to eat from her regular bowl so mum put some in a small bowl and held it inside the cone for her!!! Same thing for water. This week, Luna managed to slip out of the cone in the carrier on the way home and again this morning!!!!!! However, she has managed to eat from the regular cat food bowl. They told mum that Luna had to have a couple of stitches, so she has to wear the cone longer and come in again in two weeks!!!!!! Mum is not looking forward to ANOTHER trip there!! At least sapphy is not yowling or meowing any more -- when she was in heat it was horrendous and also, mum said that she made a racked while on the van -- in BOTH directions!! Fortunately the other passengers did not mind. Turns out that Luna was in heat when mum took her in!!!! But mum said she did not make a peep while on the van!! Sapphy isn't making any noise now, which is a great relief.
Our "darling" (NOT) upstairs neighbors have really been banging on the floor (our ceiling) in the mornings when I bark from excitement when mum is getting ready to go out. Out of courtesy to them she has been trying to take me out later; however, she has received TWO notices from Animal Control that they have received complaints about my barking. Everyone around us has been woken up by their noise, and mum is afraid that the light fixtures will fall -- we already have had to have smoke detectors replaced because of the vibrations!!!! Mum saw the leasing manager the other day and he told her that the upstairs monsters are being kicked out!!!! Apparently everyone has been complaining that THEY are making so much noise that they are waking everyone up -- no one except them have complained about me. I should mention that the only tmes I bark is in the morning when mum is getting ready to take me out and (as I am s'posed to) when anyone comes to the door!!!! ****Sigh*****
Mum does not have such a hectic week next week so hopefully we will be able to get some pics taken and posted.
Am gonna go now cos mum says this is long enuf!!!
