Animal Control and No Job


So we get back from vacation and while we were gone our very good friends watched our animals at our house. They have dogs, used to have horses, overall very good for our "zoo." But some old mean people in our subdivision (we have alot of old people here and in my experince most of them are mean) called animal control saying that our horses were not being taken care of. The history on this is that when we moved into the subdivision the covenants allow 3 horses per lot (we only have 2 at this time) BUT we were the first people here to have horses so this made some of these old people mad (even though some of them were the ones that wrote the covenants). So they are trying anything to get the horses out and one of them actually yelled at us and told us their property values were going to go down because of the horses, never mind the really expensive house we built or the barn... So anyway animal control comes to visit us, which little do the old mean people know, we know the people at animal control rather well because for their fundraisers we go to and take our dogs, last time we had the Clowns microchiped, we had dog food they wouldn't eat so we donated it to them, the animal control guy knows us and likes us. So it was not big deal he came out and we visited for a while and he said he got the feeling it was a group of people, but legally couldn't tell us who, he also said if it wasn't illegal to not check out every report he wouldn't have come at all because he knows us. I have a pretty good idea of who was behind this, but its annoying because for the last 6 months or so everything has been pretty quiet but someone thought since we were gone maybe they could get rid of the horses...

The next great piece of new I got was that the job offer that I took was no longer "available." They actually offered me the job, I accept it , turned down another job, then they called the other day and said that the girl they had was working out fine instead, But that they would keep my name and number like I would go back and work for them now.....So I'm back at square one with no job!!!!!

Where I come from the rich people had horse farms. Why the heck would they bring down the value? People can be really stupid!

Boy, no job even after I gave that stellar reference! Yes- Christy is wonderful with people (ie- as long as they aren't stupid, drive slow, ask questions, or tell her what to do). Yes- Christy loves kids (ie- loves to cut in front of them in line at Disney). Yes- Christy has great communication skills (ie- she has a very extensive and colorful vocabulary).
Love ya girl!
