New camera and new house

Yoga on the new carpet

And yes she is standing of her own accord. She can stand from sitting all by herself, steps are a different story, she lets

loose the rooster trot, forwards and backwards and bouncing up and down.

As far as the new place, lots of cars fly by right outside our front door and our porch has a traffic cone on it, I guess

they deemed the rotten, broken wood a hazard. I'm sure the black plywood they put on top will hold us up for the time

being. I'm trying to figure out this landlord game, their motto seems to be "screw 'em". We signed a lease that said

our place had to be in immaculate condition when move out (i.e. the walls primed, the carpets professionally

steam cleaned, etc.) BUT when we moved in the door to our bedroom was falling off the hinges, there were lots

of holes and nails in the walls and splatters too!, they steam cleaned the carpet the day after we signed the

lease, there were spiders in every corner and dust lining all of the baseboards, there are even piles of leaves

in the windows, the toilet barely flushes, the water's barely warm and they had turned the gas to the stove off

so we had to wait over the weekend to eat any warm food.

Crazy landlords, crazy! I'm going to send them a letter with a little piece of my mind for sure. This is the third

management company I've had to rent from in Upstate New York and not one of them has been timely or

helpful or even fair. The last one, where I lived in Albany, I had to call them 6 times in a day when the ceiling

in my bathroom had caved in from water leaking through and there was water dripping

on my head when I was on the toilet, before they took me serious enough to send someone out to take a look at it.

Why they treat us like this when we pay them so much money hopefully I'll never understand.
