The world just s**** on my chest

Well, our chests, me and robreed.

If you know me and you haven't heard the source of that line, let me know some time and I'll fill you in.

Anyway, at the moment I don't even want to write all that much about it because I don't know how much of a problem it's going to turn out to be and if I'll get in legal trouble talking about it but...

We were supposed to be doing a lot of moving in to our new place this weekend, even though we have till the end of the month to be out of our place on Beacon Hill. Just nice to try to do it quickly etc. and at least have enough stuff there to start living out of there and just come back here to get the last few things.

Anyway, Friday afternoon I picked up our keys and welcome packet. Friday after work Rob and I walked over, it was the first time he had seen it in person. The walk went pretty quick and he got to see all over the building, we rode the old school elevator, checked out everything in the apartment itself, went down to the basement to see the laundry room, etc.

So we were feeling kind of OK about it and talking about what to put where etc. Then late late that night Rob was reading through our welcome packet and found a page folded up and stuffed way down in the back behind other papers in the folder and it was a set of Pet Rules for the property.

First rule? Dogs can't weigh over 50 lbs.

Oops. First of all, we never saw these rules before, they weren't included in our lease or along with our lease when we signed it in February. Secondly, Billy weighs about 75 pounds. And I specifically cleared that with the realtor.

So all weekend we've been going crazy trying to figure out how to handle it, what to say, etc., on Monday when the management office opens back up. Obviously we can't just go ahead and move in as things are now, as we'd apparently be in violation of building rules. But I don't know what will end up happening so this is the part where I have to say I'll tell you the rest later.

Suffice it to say, I will be down at that management office as soon as it opens tomorrow and something will be happening.

Really?

Thanks, very nice of you.

First, check my

Amazon.com wishlist

and there's no need to worry that I already have it or won't use it.

Tip: Check around for better pricing. Amazon's pricing is usually good, but not always the best available.

A quick Froogle search can't hurt.
