Annie is a hero - I called the Fire Dept.!!

HOORAY FOR ANNIE!!! But Gini

how did that happen? Was it a major underground pipe leak? FOUR FEET

Hardly a broken water heater. Is the water company responsible for any damage costs? Or is this all too early? Oh dear, thank goodness for dear Annie.

Oh Gini, what a mess!

I'm glad Annie managed to wake you up, she sure is a hero!! She deverses her tuna and lots of extra treats and cuddles too.

Give he some scritchies and headbumpies from Fister and me!

I hope you'll have all that water pumped out soon, and the damage isn't too big. What caused it?

Sending you hugs and good thoughts.

Having the firebrigade visit under these circumstances sure would've been funnier! .... I take it none of these were there?

Oh my Gini, Annie really is a hero! How clever of her to come to you and tell you about the water

! It could have been a lot worse. Do you know yet what caused the flooding? I hope you don't have to much damage...

Oh, I know: maybe Annie got worried because all the catfood is stored in the basement

9 Firemen??? Wow, you were spoiled, Gini! I think the fire brigade remembered that famous BBQ-party from last summer; so they all came, hoping to get one more of those delicious slushies from Richard, and see all those "happy" women again....

Just kidding

. I am glad you were able to thank them for all the hard work they do!

Oh Gini, how awful! So how long did you have all your taps running to produce four feet of water in the basement then? Did any of the firemen recognise you?

**Laura's Babies** · 10-04-2005, 10:28 AM

Our own PT hero! WAY TO GO ANNIE! I still say these little creatures of God are a whole lot smarter than people give them credit for. She KNEW something was wrong and Mommie needed to get up and take care of it and it was her job to wake you up! Smart Girl!!

I am like everybody else... what broke that flooded your basement?

**elizabethann** · 10-04-2005, 10:31 AM

Wow. Annie really is a hero. Perhaps she knew all the cute firefighters were going to show up for Mommy?

**slick** · 10-04-2005, 10:32 AM

OMD Gini, firemen or no firemen....this is NO laughing matter. Four feet of water to me spells out a broken water main somewhere. You said your house was the lowest on the block so I'm wondering of the source of the problem is a few houses away?????

My dear friend...if I could I would jump on the first plane down there and help you clean up. This is the last thing you need right now with winter coming up. I sure hope that water heater is "salvageable". If not, won't your insurance company cover the cost of a new one?? Is someone from the city coming out to investigate?

Annie, I just knew you were one special kitty. Purrs and headbumpies to you for waking up your meowmie.

Edit: you know the funny thing is...at about 5am I woke up and immediately thought about you. It wasn't my gut feeling that something was wrong..it's just that you came to my mind. I didn't think much of it but couldn't get back to sleep to logged on to PT. Here I was browsing while you were up to your waist in water.....

Was just thinking of something else.....not that it's a good thing, but better your house than your office. Four ft of water out there and you'd be done.

**momoffuzzyfaces** · 10-04-2005, 01:25 PM

Good Golly!!!

I'm so glad you and the fur kids are ok!!!

What a thing to wake up to. My cat kids think Annie should have tuna, catnip and other special treats for at least a week!!!

We all send {{HUGS}} to you and special {{{HUGS}}} for Annie!
(Chester wants to know if she's single?)

**Logan** · 10-04-2005, 02:00 PM

Good job, Annie!!!

Gini, I hope your mess will be straightened out soon. So sorry you had to deal with this now, but not sorry for those wonderful firemen you HAD to call!!!

Logan

**AmberLee** · 10-04-2005, 02:52 PM

Wow, Gini, I'm glad you are okay. What a shock to wake up to... 3 LOUD cheers for Annie, what a heroine.

When you get a chance, I too am eager for more details. Is it stopped now? What caused it? Are the cats okay now? How's your wiring, not affected, I hope! Precisely how cute were the firemen? (oops, how did THAT question sneak in here?)

**Ginger's Mom** · 10-04-2005, 03:21 PM

Yay for Annie. I have a feeling she knew it meant the firemen would have to be called. That is why she was so persistant

. Seriously, I am glad to hear that Annie was able to realize it was a problem only a meowmie could fix. Hey it's a good thing the firemen already knew how to get to your house. Lots of Tuna and kisses for her.
