Disappointing News

We found out today that we are not going to get the log cabin. We are very disappointed. Mama and Daddy visited it again yesterday and they told us all about the yard and how many dog toys were left behind. We were not surprised when our agent called and told us that our offer was rejected. We expected that to happen, but we planned on making another offer. The reason it was rejected is because the bank has decided to fix up the house with new flooring, paint and an appliance or two. They will let us buy it for the same price they are offering now, but we have NO say in any of the flooring, paint or appliances. We don't even know if the appliances will be new. We wanted to be put hardwood floors in most of it and Daddy says not having a say on anything is unacceptable. Why do they want to do all that work when they can sell it to us minus the cost of that work? We don't understand it at all. We are very disappointed right now. Daddy said we may make one more offer to them and then let it go. Our agent said they were pretty set on doing the work, so it's probably a waste of our time. There are no other houses that we are interested in right now. Mama said as much as she liked that house, she had a feeling that it wasn't going to work out. She is really sad and now we are sad, too. The right house is out there. We just have to find it.

We went to the park today and walked through the campground. It's not the same park by our old house. It's another one that we have camped at though. It was a little chilly, but we had fun.

We are supposed to get a major storm starting tomorrow. Monday is supposed to be light freezing rain. Tuesday is heavy freezing rain with maybe thunder freezing rain and then Wednesday, it's supposed to snow. They are predicting 6"-15" of snow. YIKES! Mama is nervous about all the ice.

Mama said I should tell everyone that even though she is eating Chinese food and pizza, I am only getting a bite or two. I still have to eat dog food. I don't think it's fair, but Mama says life isn't fair.
