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

[wolflady]

Gosh, Gini, sorry to hear about your basement. What caused that? Annie is such a good girl! I hope she enjoys her tuna! Even though it's an annoying event, at least you had hot firemen to balance out the annoyance, eh?

**hugs**

[jazzcat]

Three cheers for Annie (and a few for those firemen too )!

[tatsxxx11]

Yay Annie!!! You're a hero, Annie!!! What a smart kitty! Bet that's the last time your mommy waves you off! And if you had to have a disaster gini, well, I guess it could have been worse! Those guys are pretty "hot," huh??? And there's just something about those truck! I am sorry though about the flooding. Hopefully the damage won't be too costly Extra hugs for you, Miss Annie!

[Tubby & Peanut's Mom]

Way to go Annie!!!

Gini, I sure hope no major damage was done, and here you were just getting dried out after all the rains this spring.

[Edwina's Secretary]

Oh Gini! Been there...done that....twice. What a good girl Annie was to call for you....

btw...Is That why so few houses in California have basements?????

[luvofallhorses]

Yay for Annie!! Make sure you give her some extra lovings for me and some extra treats!!

[RICHARD]

For some reason I thought that Annie had dialed 911...

I guess I should wear my glasses...


Good work Girlie!!!

Of course some of us have never seen Annie and think that Gini is pulling our leg...

------------------------

Ahem,

Notice, the the LAFD has a huge budget and they leave a pump doesn't work???

Sure........ f

Well, I just popped in quickly here to see if there were any updates. I guess she's busy mopping up and I suspect tomorrow will she'll be at it too.

My, my, what a day so far.

So this time three kitties had to be shut in my bedroom - and they are not happy.

There has been a stream of people coming through my home. Starting with 7 am - the plumber - GOD LOVE HIM............who has repaired everything.

The cause: The hose that runs from the hot or cold water pipe to the water heater blew. It blew in a way that had all of the water going upward towards the floor above.

I called my insurance agent/claims adjuster and he was here in 45 minutes. I couldn't believe it. He didn't leave until noon.

A team arrived that checked out everything damaged by water in my basement - cataloged it - removed it and it will be either restored - or I will be paid for its loss.

Another team arrived who checked on the water damage - and yes, the carpeting above the water heater is wet. They removed it and I now have
five huge fans and two dehumidifyers that I have to leave running for YIKES -FIVE DAYS!!

The ducts for my furnace are soaked with water (and are very old). There is asbestos on them - this house was built in 1912/13...........The furnace ducts will be replaced.

Another team will arrrive that will completely check out my furnace and see what damage has been done. If deemed necessary I will get a new furnace.

The last team left about a half hour ago -

Thanks for all of your kind wishes for Annie - she along with Rascal and Emma are checking out all of these fans - and they are not too happy.

I think it is about time for that tuna and extra catnip -

Me - if Thursdays was open, I would rush over there for a slushie!! Make that a double.

[Kfamr]

Good girl, Annie! I think she deserves some cat Greenies for that, has your crew tried them yet?

Woohoo for all of the people who've helped you today - thank gosh you haven't gotten and additional grief from people added on. Woohooo for firemen! It's awfully funny that I can't even hear the word or see it without thinking of PT now.

I'm not Richard so I can't make any promises, but i'm sure he'd have no problem rustling something up for ya....

(DONE!)

[Tubby & Peanut's Mom]

Oh my, Gini! Thank God for insurance - and Annie!

I know Thursdays isn't open yet, but I always carry around an emergency slushie - just in case - and this sounds like the perfect reason to break the glass on it. Unfortunately, when you break the glass on this emergency equipment, the alarm doesn't go off which means the firemen won't show up again....but then again, you're probably ready to have the house to yourself again after having so many people in and out all day.


Here you go, one green slushie to tide you over. I've got more of these emergency slushies available if one isn't enough.

[wolflady]

Yikes! What an ordeal! I'm really surprised at how quickly everyone acted. That's great. Do you have to empty the dehumidifiers, or are they large enough to whole 5 days worth of moisture?

Give those 3 orangies some lovin's for me!

I'll join you in having a slushie!!

**hugs**

[gini]

Deb, you are a life saver - a slushie exactly what I need right now.

Karen - the dehumidifiers have tubes that run to the kitchen sink.

And Debbie - thanks for using the word "alarm" because it reminded me that the adjuster told me to have the alarm company come out and test the alarm system for me - and the insurance would pay for the call. Amazing.

Also - they will pay for the increased electrical usage because of the fans running for five days. WHAT??

[shais_mom]

ww
you lucky........



lol
just kidding Mom - I wouldn't wish that on my worst enemy!!!
KUDOS AND HUGS TO ANNIE!!!

[just me]

Good Girl Annie :d
