We should have gotten her yesterday, Saturday the 7th, Mama.. Reason we didn't was because when they deliver her, they wanna do a home inspection to make sure the fences and gates and stuff are escape proof and to just get a general overview of where she'll be living.. We've been trying to get new carpet installed since April.. We finally had an installation date for Friday July 6, so I spent two days clearing everything out of the rooms and closets.. the house is now a complete disaster..
So, Friday morning the installers cancel the installation (some family emergency) and say they'll come for sure to do it Saturday morning at 9am - with a Monday "backup date, just in case to be sure".. I'm pissed, because we're living in empty rooms with stuff stacked to the ceiling in hallways and kitchen and dining room.. I agree to Saturday.. Saturday morning they cancel again (the installer says he's been sick all week and still isn't over it - what a lie!) and say Wednesday is the next open date.. at that point, I tell them to forget it and I'm headed to Lowes to cancel the whole deal and get a refund.. We've been trying to get this carpet we bought at Lowes installed since April 22nd.. So, I march into Lowes and, despite their best efforts, cancel the order and get a full refund.. we went carpet shopping yesterday and settled on a locally owned store, picked out carpet, set up a measure date on Monday and an Install date next Friday..
So, what's that got to do with a Beagle? We couldn't have a rescue organization do a home inspection with empty rooms and stuff piled ceiling high everywhere.. the house look like a bomb went off in it right now.. I drug one chair into the living room and hooked cable back up and that's it.. So, not only did we waste 3 months with Lowes free carpet installation if you buy the carpet there deal, we also had to postpone betting our new dog by 9 days.. Now, if the other local installers cancel on us next Friday, we'll just hafta figure something out because we're not canceling getting the dog next Sunday...
Moral of the story: You get what you pay for.. Lowe's (where I spend a lot of my life) hires the WORST contractors around for their installs.. we wasted 3 months trying to utilize their free carpet installation scam.. don't fall for it...
