Best Apt EVER!

The Brenton and I have lived in two apts while in our married lives...the first one was "ok" The second one "FANTASTIC"

and it started great and ended great...why you ask??

Well during the last 10 months we have had a giant rat living with us

Here is said Rat:


Her Name is Chloe, but she also goes by Chlovie, Chlo Chlo, Rat, Ru and Rufis, I have even dropped a couple Rufio's

Now this 3 yr old terror has been the best training for parenthood that I could think of...she is demanding, whiny, stubborn, mischievous, she is a garbage eater, and I have to ask her 3 times before she will do anything

One of her many talents was sticking her fat face through our metal blinds to watch us as we would walk away to our car. It was always fun to hear our blinds rattle against the window, and then turn around to see half of a lab up in them.. Which resulted in our blinds looking like



For a while we were able to repair them, bend them back and all was well, but she didn't like that too much, so she bit them, and then bit the string that pulls them up so they had to be replaced

Well funny thing is, both of these windows are not a normal measurement so you can't just go to the local hardware shop and pick up new blinds.

So The Brenton and I had come to terms with this and just figured they would take it out of our deposit. So Brenton has a walk through yesterday morning, but the guy showed up about an hour late. Apparently he was in a good mood that morning, and said the only thing he could see that was an issue..the blinds..(apparently he didn't look at the carpet or the walls because those were nasty!)

He starts to write down the order form for the blinds and says

"Well I was an hour late, don't worry about the blinds"

Hooray, we get our Deposit Back!!

VERY good fortune! I hate to think about how much money our pup has cost us in eatten goods: books, dvds, & cds, a few shoes (but never a whole pair), my friend's signed out-of-print Mallrats DVD... When we had 2 'rats', they went through a phase of licking holes in the walls. Grr... Now the Lillie-dog gets kenneled when we're not home. :)
