I like it!
The front door ornament...
Making sure they did it well...
My mom had two "interesting" days.
Our new internet service is provided by a phone company. Knowing that this one works pretty good, my mom went to cancell the "old" one that we get through a cable company.
She had paid for a year of service. When she told them she wanted to cancell it and to transfer the amount paid to our cable tv service, they told her it was not possible. Why? Because the payment had been applied to the internet service. "It is no longer in use..." "It does not matter..." She asked to talk with their supervisor... He was not there... "Someone else to talk about that..." "Nobody..." End of the story??? "You will not get your money back..." "You are robbers".... "Maybe we are".... "I am going to sue you"... "Do it... those things don't work here". Then they asked my mom why she wanted to cancell the service... "Because it is the worst".... Oh, yes we have heard that"
She left that place bitting her tongue to not say HBO words!

Then, she went to the postal office to buy the stamps for my Christmas Cards.
A fact: Torreon has a population of 1 million of persons and there is only one postal office. "I need stamps for 120 cards that are going to different countries." "Which countries?" "These, these and these". "We don't have that many stamps" "Whaaat?" "We will have them in 2 weeks" "Whaaat?"
She went to the next town... No luck. She went to the next next town.... a very small one... where finally she found the soooo wanted stamps!
Last night, my cards were ready to be sent!
Last night, my cards were ready to be sent!
Today morning... my mom went to work. At 9am my grandpa called her to say that the phone was not working. My mom thought.... "This must be a joke!"
She does not care about phone at home. She never uses it. But... the internet works with a phone line... My mom did not know if she wanted to laugh or to cry! She made the report thinking how many days it could take for them to check it. 10 minutes later she called my grandpa (to his cell phone) to tell him that it was reported and... guess what?? The "phoneman" was already here to fix it! My mom could not believe it.... Here you can get used to bad services and this one is really good!
I am so glad everything is in order here and now we can have a nice weekend!
I hope yours is very nice too!

Your tree looks beautiful all lit up. I hope you find many presents under it on Christmas. So frustrating with the awful cable company! Your mom is right-they are robbers. Hope she can speak to someone who can straighten it out for her.
Your friend,

Customer services stinks here too!!!
But, I know that tree made your momma smile!! It's beautiful!!

Your poor mommy had a bad day yesterday. We have more post offices here but we too DREAD going to them this time of year.
I hope mom was able to get all the internet and phone working again.

The Christmas tree looks great... all it needs now is to fill it with presents.
The customer service sucks huh! Your mom was really patient though... luckily the subsequent service was prompt else we'll miss you.
Licks, hero
Hi Lorenza,
Your tree is very very purdy!
Those cable companies are not very nice to their customers. Our mom has been fighting with ours cause they took two payments out of her checking account this month and won't give one back. Robbers is right!!
Have a terrific weekend!
Waggles,
Bijou
You did an outstanding job decorating!
And you are so fast with your Christmas cards. We just got ours done and hope we can send them soon. Did you get enough stamps?

Your momma sure had some obstacles to overcome! We have a small post office and always find that they are out of things, too.
So happy that your tree is up - so furry PURRty! We see that you were a very good snooper-visor.
Everything is sure happy and beautiful for you Lorenza, me and my sister Dollar sure is glad you making sure they did it well on the Xmas tree.

Hi Lorenza
Your tree is very beautiful.
Too bad your mom had to deal with a rude company. They are robbers.
Love Ruby & Penny
Lorenza, I hope your mom can find someone to straighten that mess out! How frustrating!
Just read your adoption story - It's a great one! And we LOOOOVE your baby pictures! You look so tiny!

Those cable people are robbers everywhere, glad that you found your stamps. Your tree and door are just beautiful. Now that all the problems are taken care of, you can sit back and enjoy. Love your jammies!
Your pals, Maisie and Morgan
One million people and only one post office? Crazy. I am glad your mum got the internet going again though.
I agree, two very interesting days. I am so glad the new phone company responds quickly. I love your Christmas tree! It is almost as beautiful as you are, Lorenza. I also like your shirt.
Snuggles,
Twix
PS: I have an award for you.
That is just terribe, I would keep calling everyday until the evil cable co finds the supervisor! How rotten and rude!
At least your Mum gets to look at your beatuifully decorated tree! It sure is BIG and PRETTY!
Way to go on the Xmas Cards, my Mom just said, oh my, I forgot about that!
Hugs, Tessa
We like your tree. You did a great job of snoopervising, Lorenza.
We think those people are crooks too! We're glad you have a new company, one that actually shows up.
One post office for all those people?
The tree is beautiful, Lorenza. Mom is still trying to find the colored twine but she may just have to order it online. Next year we will get them done.
So sorry your poor Mom has to deal with such idiots there. Hope Santa brings lots of presents for you to have under your tree.
Woos, the OP Pack
WOW, that was terrible.
I don't like to have days like those!
I hope tomorrow is much better!
Yikes! That's a lot of weird stuff! But at least the tree is up and it looks GORGEOUS! I like the wreath on the front door, too!
Are those your pajamas? You look so cute!
Love,
Ammy
What a day! At least it ended with a happy ending AND a beautiful Christmas tree! And, Lorenza, we can't go without saying ... your ears are so shiny and silky and pretty in a couple of those pictures of you under the tree. We'll love to sniff 'em and moma would like to stroke 'em. You are such a pretty girl. Just like A+A, we would gladly be your adoptive wirey family!
Love
Jake and Fergi xxoo
Your tree is beautiful!!!!
Glad you got your stamps... we too have issues with our internet provider... annoying!

The decorations are beautiful!n You all did a great job! :)
I'm sorry your mom had such a bad day, but it all worked out in the end!
Mochi
Oh my goodness, how frustrating for your mum Lorenza. I'm so glad she was able to get the stamps. Who would have thought a post office might run out of stamps. I mean it's not like Christmas is a surprise, we all know it's set for December 25!!!!

Hi Lorenza!
Wow, what an ordeal, your Christmas tree looks pretty though.
We would like to give you an award to, you can get it at our blog.
Hi ya Lorenza! Love that door wreath!
Really sorry about all the hassles! My mom had a similar internet/phone situation a while back. It was so agrivating. She couldn't work from home, no phone nor internet...and the resolution to the problem seemed to be WAY TOO SLOW. Grrrrrrrrrr.
But, glad to see you! Sounds like stamps and phone problems are resolved at this point.
Hugs and snaggle-tooth kisses,

Lorenza
First- you look lovely in your pajamas. Second.. I LOVE your tree. I just want to stare and sing Christmas songs. Third- that is ridiculous about the internet company and stamps... Mom probably was censored from HBO too!

Awwww I am so sorry to hear about the bad service...not good.
Love the tree Lorenza , you did a wooferful job on it!!

My momma is laughing along with your mom because she is one tough customer for sure. I would not want to cross her path.
Our internet service place has bullet proof glass! I think I know why because they can make the people go cracker dog.
Your tree is magnificent.
Slobbers,

Oh Lorenza, your Christmas decoration is just AWESOME! I especially love your ornament. Last year we only had a tiny christmas tree in the Clinic. This year, because they are spending Christmas with me, the Animal Doctor promised to put one up in our house.
Im sorry that your Mom had to go through something like that with the internet company. I hate bad service too!

Ay cuántos problemas en la vida... Pero los adornos navideños te han quedado de maravilla.
Princesita... estaba seguro que el árbol iba a quedar "superchuli". Y el adorno de la puerta también está genial.
La verdad es que no sabÃa si reir o llorar por todas las penurias que tuvo que pasar mami, sin sellos de ciudad en ciudad, sin que le devuelvan el dinero por un servicio no prestado, sin teléfono (pero solo un ratito)... al final decidà reir porque la vida es bella y muy corta para agobiarnos por pequeñas cosas que nosotros engrandecemos...
Un abrazo a tu famillia bipeda y muchos lametones para ti.

My Jeannie hates technical stuff like this, I hope your Mum gets it all sorted soonest.
Sorry I have been missing in action, family stuff and lots of rain have not been helpful to a dog blogger.

oh and your tree and decorations are so beautiful.

Waouw your Christmas tree is beautiful !!!!!
Lorenza....you realy deserve a nice and cool week-end with you Mom....take care of her !
Kisses, Faya
Lorenza,

A tua mama teve um dia difÃcil!
Fico contente que ela encontrou os selos e a internet está funcionando!
A árvore de natal ficou linda! E você está linda com seus pijamas!
Tenha uma boa noite!

Those Internet companies can be so horrible!
At least your tree looks amazing!
Sonic
Your tree looks beautiful, Lorenza! And mom MADE all your ornaments?? Wow! We too find post offices to be very frustrating places, so you are not alone. And no one ever likes to deal with the cable company, so tell your mom not to feel too bad. I think all the people who get fired from the post office must get jobs at the cable company!
Snorts-
Brutus the Frenchie
We *love* your tree! Unfortunately, we NEVER get to put up a tree around here because of the kitties...they would just use it as entertainment and all the ornaments would fall off and break...boo.
Glad the phone service was so good. that is awful about the stamps but glad you found them.
I can't believe that cable company, what jerks! It is good that it ended up good and that you have found a reliable company for your internet.
