big sigh of relief. the contractor just called and apologized for replacing the water line without my authorization and is now quoting me about $350 for materials and permits. It's still a little steep in my estimation, but way better than $900 and cheaper in the long term than lawyer fees and court expenses.
Zoe: First rule of battle, little one. Don't ever let 'em know where you are. Mal: Whoo-hoo! I'm right here! I'm right here! You want some of me? Yeah, you do! Come on! Come on! Aaah! Whoo-hoo! Zoe: Of course, there are other schools of thought...

Erin, what a relief. I'm sorry the guy has been so ridonkulous throughout this process.
Puppy likes carrots, I know. I have to ask, though...do you all think we should keep the name the rescue gave her (Posey von Pilsner...ha!) or rename her? Any ideas for names? Her personality is apparently mellow and sweet, so Posey does fit, but that's not the type of name I'd usually pick.

How well do puppies respond to name changes, if that's what she thinks her name is?

I like the name Posey.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
I really like the name Posey. I actually like the whole thing.
Steph, shall we take it to email?

My mom's new(ish) dog has had no problems adjusting to her new name. She was a stray when the rescue group put her with a foster family who named her Matilda, and Mom changed it to Millie, which she responds to with no problem.

I really like the Posey von Pilsner name.

Yeah, she's only 3.5 months old, so a name change wouldn't bother her. I do kind of agree that Posey von Pilsner is an awesome name, but I'm waiting to see what ND thinks. Thanks for the affirmation (and the tolerance of the carrots).

Our wings are not tired
I'm kinda partial to renaming her.
