For those of you who don't know, Mom and Mommy own another house in the area - a place they called home for over 9 years. They took me to that house once, but we were on a mission, so I didn't get to sniff around much. My brother Digby lived there - that's the house where Mom and Mommy brought him home to when he joined Prinnie and our family.
In early fall, Mom and Mommy decided to sell that house (after our tenants moved out) so that we could eventually get a swimming pool here. I don't know what all the fuss about a new pool is, but I think it might help curb the cursing mom does all summer long. Somehow she thinks that if we have a pool, the weather won't be so hot. Pawrents!!
Anyhow, the housing market here has been abysmal. Houses like ours that would have sold before even hitting the MLS are staying on the market for months. That happened with our "other" house. With the holidays fast approaching, and folks buckling down for the season, there were no offers, and barely a few showings. Getting past the holidays was key. Right as we rang in the new year, offers started coming in. Mom and Mommy decided to accept the 2nd offer in January. They told me that means we will be giving the house to another couple in hopes they will love it and take care of it as my pawrents did.
That also means that Mom and Mommy are charging full steam ahead with plans for this pool they keep talking about. They said they are actually gonna pay some guy to come in with a big truck thingy and dig a huge hole in the ground. Seriously? They're going to pay someone to do what I can do?? OMD! (Oh my Dog!)
As we wrap this up, I'm helping Mom and Mommy say goodbye to their first California home....Bye, Bye you wild canary! Thanks for taking such good care of my family!
