And ya...Arctic water and penguins. Heh, heh, heh.<br /><br />And yapping chihuahuas - one of the better days in my life occurred when, after three years, two of these dogs who lived in the apartment below and barked endlessly, finally left with their owner when her relationship broke up. <br /><br />And yes, I think your mother should be searching out a different realtor.<br /><br />Ms Soupalphabet souphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11744905399607433764noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5123631695572626256.post-79331327889728396472015-07-31T00:13:03.444+01:002015-07-31T00:13:03.444+01:00Even though you are a dog person, you must feel li...Even though you are a dog person, you must feel like sinking the boot into those yapping dogs. My Mum also has her villa unit for sale. It has been on the market for nearly 7 weeks and she has only had 5 viewings. She is already worried so I don't know whether telling her of your Mum's lack of response after 4 months will make her feel better or more despaired. Good luck with getting through the photo scanning. It is a difficult task deciding which photos to keep as they all seem precious to us. Someone on Pinterest said to only keep the best photos that show the occasion for which they were taken, or that show the person at a certain age, then either give the rest to one of the photo's subject or to another family member. However if you are scanning most of them to be saved on a digital medium you can afford to be ruthless as there is a backup for future generations.JennieBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06470756350440304293noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5123631695572626256.post-26124492432703037412015-07-30T20:20:52.235+01:002015-07-30T20:20:52.235+01:00In all my life I've never ever been able to un...In all my life I've never ever been able to understand why someone would own a chihuahua other than to annoy everyone else. The scanning project scares me. I have photos collected from my mom and her three sisters. They span back to the depression (the photos and the sisters/mom)so there are tons. I keep telling myself they have historical value...my mom was 97 when she passed away and saw loads of history. Looking through them, they also have hysterical value.

There is a scale of some kind by which to rate them. At the top are those breeds who can "get" a command after only a couple of repetitions. At the bottom are those who might get it after fifty tries. Chihuahuas were in that group. So it's not your imagination - those little guys DON'T REMEMBER YOU!!!<br /><br />Your mom has a good helper for the picture culling. I find it hard to part with any pictures, but the stacks are taking up too much room. How many blurry duplicates of unidentifiable people does a person actually need?jenny_ohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15475480579733466963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5123631695572626256.post-50681258835098146482015-07-30T18:20:34.823+01:002015-07-30T18:20:34.823+01:00I had to laugh at your comparison to piranhas. my ...I had to laugh at your comparison to piranhas. my current battle with the little dog is about the jumping and nipping.ellen abbotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00535475792150335186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5123631695572626256.post-47548745056651789552015-07-30T16:35:01.853+01:002015-07-30T16:35:01.853+01:00Now that you've mentioned it, chihuahuas must ...Now that you've mentioned it, chihuahuas must be distantly related to piranhas.

And, along with everyone else here, I'm sure those dogs would drive me crazy too. <br />You've reminded me that I have a picture scanning project ahead of me too. I actually thinned the lot by quite a bit when I moved but now I need to scan what is left.

I stayed at my husband's aunt's house once, and they not only had three largish dogs who kept putting their paws on me and barking, they also had a little bird they let free in the house - a green thing, perhaps a parakeet? - and it shat everywhere! Including on the toilet seat.

Our house has been on the market since April as well and we've had three people come to look. I would be devastated if no one had come. We are changing realtors as I type, now whether or not it will make a difference remains to be seen. If I were her I would definitely look for another realtor. Can she get out of her contract with her present realtor?Lynnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05875008154587045790noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5123631695572626256.post-73900838274567109152015-07-30T11:34:42.188+01:002015-07-30T11:34:42.188+01:00I think a new set of eyes might help, at least I h...I think a new set of eyes might help, at least I hope so.
