Me Advise?
It sometimes amazes me that people want to speak with me, even more so when they seek my advice. But then, friends are not any people.
And so it was that JM, a young friend studying in Canada, said hello online and proceeded to ask me what to do about her new apartment which doesn’t allow pets, at least not the type she has. Her lease begins in July and she thinks she may have to break it if the property manager doesn’t reconsider not letting her pets in.
We chatted about what to do, the main plan, back-up, etc. At the end of which, she said “If I were to talk to my dad, he’d just say get rid of the chinchillas!”
Maybe that’s an advantage of being single and on my own, and not having to deal with kids 24/7/365, which gives me the distance to be able to help?
She still hasn’t been able to reach the property manager yet, a very busy woman who wasn’t in the office all day today (JM’s time).
Among my suggestions – send over pictures of her pets, or bring them along to meet the property manager! But apparently, chinchillas don’t like travelling.
Oh well. Hope it all goes your way, JM. If not, remember the back-up plan!
