OK Seriously Am I on Candid Camera???

[Suzann, Rosey & Bandit]

Okay, so I have been on DK for about 2 months now, and I LOVE it, but ever since my life has been CRAZY...  From rescuing(the good part) to Bandit being sick (the very bad part) to dog sitting RUBY (the WTD part) I mean the last few weeks...whooaa can you say REALITY TV??  So here is the next episode(s) Yesterday I get a call from doggie daycare, the first day they have been back since Bandit's illness, and Bandit had been whining and crying really loud and then he wouldn't stop shaking.  So I tear out of work at 3 and pick him up, come home, both doods go to sleep and then I get a text that Ruby's mom is back in the hospital, they need me to feed Ruby let her out, but don't worry about taking her.  So I text all evening back and forth with them and our dogsitter  that Bandit is sick, don't think it's a good idea for Ruby to stay over, so I arrange for our dogsitter to stay overnight at their house a plan came together no biggie.  So I go to work...then I get a text that Ruby's mom is being induced so I need to take her to the Bed & Biscuit to stay.  So over my lunch I pick Ruby up at daycare, drive her to the bed & biscuit and go back to work.  At 2:30 my phone rings and it is my neighbor saying something is wrong at your house, there is water coming out of your garage.  All I can think is OMG Rosey and Bandit the are home!  There is a flood and they are in their room in the basement!  So I high tail it, running out of the office, drive REALLY fast home, thinking my babies are drowning or swimming or jumping onto everything to avoid the water, actually Rosey probably would like and indoor pool:)...  So I get home and sure enough there is a HUGE amount of water seeping from the garage I open it and it is RAINING in my garage.  I fly threw the doors and see my furry little monsters, THEY ARE FINE!!! Thankyou Thankyou Thankyou!!!  So I fly upstairs and in the master bath under the sink the hot water valve broke and water had been gushing for HOURS.  There was a 1/2 inch of standing water in our bedroom, the bathroom drawers were full of water, water water EVERYWHERE.  So my neighbor came over, our house is 100 years old and with a boiler system and I have no clue how to shut off the main water, Called DH and he told me.. Water OFF!  So then I called insurance, the SERVICE and guys were here all afternoon and into the evening. Over 1500 gallons of water they sucked up so far!   All the dry wall has to come out of the garage, they have pulled up our carpet in the BR and are trying to dry it, all of our BR furniture is in the family room, they will have to rip out all the tile and the vanity in the master bedroom... And that is all I know so far... So if you all are really watching out there, get some more popcorn and a drink, because I think we have a full season ahead of us!!!  Anyone want to sign up for commercials???

Thankyou DK, I needed some excitement in my life:)

OMG what an ordeal!! I agree with Cheryl - WINE!!! You also might call your water company and let them know what happened. You may get a whopping bill for all that water but some water companies have an emergency clause and will cut you some slack on your bill.

Wine is a done deal. Called the water company hopefully they will oblige!

WOW - what can I say? Your luck has been horrible. I will bet the peeing on the bed episode seems like small potatoes now! Hopefully everything will turn for the better now. Good luck!

Well, sort of, at least I have a SERVICE to clean this up! Although I do have loads of things to go thru and a long list of damaged items to make. I need to teach Rosey how to type:)
