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!!!

MUM'S GONNA SEE IF SHE CAN POST A PHOTO and GOBBLE GOBBLE GOBBLE
Hrmph -- mum was unable to get any pics to download. I am gonna HAVE to insist that she go to Geek Squad.
We had a little bit of excitement (not!!) here the other morning. I think we mentioned how our upstairs neighbor bangs on her floor (our ceiling) when I bark as mum is getting ready to take me out in the morning. Well, on Tuesday morning, they banged so hard we thought the ceiling was going to come down. Next thing we knew, as mum was opening the front door, there was yelling and screaming in the hallway. It was our upstairs neighbors yelling and screaming at mum about my barking. Now, you have to realize that these women must each weigh double what mum does, and she's no lightweight (sorry mum -- not) and it turns out they are the people who have the new truck that mum very nicely asked a couple of weeks ago to please be sure to leave her room to get the wheelchair through. When they finished yelling a screaing and using HBO words at mum they slammed the door from the hallway so hard it could not be opened!!!! Some other neighbors a couple of apartments down had heard the ruckus and come out and I went to talk to them. Mum's and my knees were still shaking about it all!!!! This couple also told us that they had been told that I attacked a lot of other dogs here. Mum immediately knew who was spreading that rumor!!! There is a woman here with a little dog that had lived in the complex mum and I lived in for a couple of months last year. I had gotten out once and chased a few small dogs but did not injure anyone. Every time we see this woman, if she has her dog she picks it up and walks in the opposite direction; if mum sees her when she does NOT have her dog, she STILL walks in the opposite direction!!!!! Anyway, when the leasing office here opened, mum called and spoke to the manager. He was extremely nice and said that he would look into it. Fortunately, he did not make any disparaging comments about me!!! Mum also heard from our next door neighbor that a LOT of other people (and not just from our hallway) had also heard these women yelling at mum and had contacted the office!!!! This morning there was just a small banging on the ceiling when mum was getting ready to take me out. Mum has threatened to put a muzzle on me when she is getting ready so that I wont bark. I am not very happy about that!!!
Anyway, mum has been watching some programs about the Battle of Britain, etc., and I have gotten on her case (again) that she needs to write some of her memories of that time in the UK. She said that he will tomorrow.
Mum has said that she does not really wanna do any more typing tonight so ......

MUM CAN'T SLEEP SO SHE HAS DECIDED TO DICTATE TO ME:
I am not to sure if I will stay awake for long, so may have to pass this over!! to mum!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Mum here: Okay Cookie, I will take pity on you, even though it I only 12"30 am -- and even though you hae been sleeping most of the day. BTW, Cookie, thanks for letting me sleep later the last couple of mornings. We only hae one problem in the mornings; while I am getting my jacket and shoes on and getting the chair ready to go -- Cookie barks constantly. (Cookie here: that's just cos I am so glad you are getting up n=and taking me out!} Unfortunately the people upstairs do not enjoy her "singing" and pound on the floor -- which, of course makes her bark more.!!!!!
I went to see the doctor on Friday and got a clean bill of health (thank goodness). But because I like to run errands when I go to the doctor's office, it makes for a long day!!
I am going to have to go the Geek Squad to find out to post pictures, again
Well, this was a quickie update to let everyone up on what we are doing
