Ok so I have some great news... and so, well not so great news.
So let me start w/ the good news:
Chris and I have officially been approved for a house. No doubt about it, no ifs. It's for sure.
Just too bad we couldn't move in right away. I think we might set up an appointment w/ Angie at the leasing office and see what's up. We've talked to the realitor we're working with about how much she wants for us to break our lease. Aimee said that it's not unusual to pay to break a lease, unless there isn't any other apartments and they can move someone right in. But other words it's not uncommon, the only uncommon thing is the $500 re-decorating fee. She said that she's never heard of such a thing.. and so on. So I think we're going to go sit down w/her or something and see what we can do. Otherwise we're stuck here till Halloween when we can buy the house and move in. Which isn't any problem.. we can get our bills down... but we really are just ready to move into a house of our own.
::Sigh:: Bad news...
I got to go at 3 w/ my mom to take my childhood dog into the vet.
This is hard.
We're probably going to have to put her down, and I'm going to have to be the one to make that decision.
Winnie's probably 13 or 14, if not older. She's the dog that I took into fourth grade for like show and tell. She's the one that use to always protect me when I was sleeping at night. She's the one that my dad would beat for no reason. She's the one that I would ride over in a little backpack w/ her head sticking out to my grandma's. And now... I'm going to have to be the one to tell my mom that it's her time and she needs to go to a better place w/ no more pain.
She was a good dog, even though she use to always pee in my bedroom, eat everyone's underwear, and when she had a broken leg eat half of a chocolate bar from Spain that had liquor in it... but she was a good dog.
I just feel horrible for my mom cause now she's not going to have anyone at the house to welcome her home.
The worst part... tomorrow's my mom's birthday... and she has to go put her dog down the day before.
She just thinks it's one of Winnie's spells or something... but Winnie's old, and hasn't been into the vet in a long time and she can't even get up and walk anymore w/out it hurting her.
I guess what happened was after everyone left yesterday my mom went to let Winnie out of the back room and to do laundry. When my mom was stepping over her Winnie didn't move, and usually she'll move out of the way. Well this time she didn't. So my mom gave her a treat and she still didn't move... and if you knew Winnie... she freakin loves her treats. So my mom said that she sat down and was talking and petting her and she was just like pushing her self around on the floor. Mom said that she picked her up to see if she'd walk and I guess Win took a couple steps and went down again. Then when I was still talking to mom she said that somehow Winnie got to where the entrance way is and is laying there on her side...mom told me that she didn't know if she was breathing or anything.. but then I heard her call for Win and I guess she looked up or something... I don't want to go and do this w/her. Kristine was the one who set up the app and is going to pay for w/e mom wants to do... but mom just thinks she's ok and the vet can fix her up... But Kris and I know the vets going to want to put her down and I'm going to have to be the back bone.
So yea... I'm really lucky today.
Oh and I have to take my car back out to Labadie to get it fixed w/money I don't have. So I'm doing great, got approved, have to put down a dog that I love, and I have to go pay for my car to get fixed w/ no money.
What else can happen today?
