Sable Becoming Involved in My Business

SABLE - I never had a relationship with a kitty before. GrandPam had one, Cinder, for 22 years and we learned how to ignore each other. I have always been a dog person. She knew not to come in my space, including my side of the bed. We had always put her in the basement at night. In her later years, on moving in our Nissen Building 18th floor apartment, there was no basement. I agreed for her to remain free and she took to sleeping wrapped around Pam’s head but would never cross the center line of our bed. We also had a Lhasa Apso who lived to be 14 years old. He slept in a bed, on the floor, beside of me. When Cinder became senile, could barely walk, would howl all night like she was lost, couldn’t step in the litter box, and began invading my space thinking I was Pam, we had to put her down. For four years I was able to dodge having a replacement so we were pet-less and I was actually enjoying Pam not having those responsibilities. Honestly, I prefer being her only pet. Then our good friends and neighbors on the mountains cat had a litter and I couldn’t resist Pam‘s desire for one. Sable entered our home and life. This was drastically different from the first day at 8 weeks old. We bonded and that bond has grown for almost two years. 

If you occupy my space you must be productive. Sable is efficient at sleeping, destroying things, causing general havoc, hunting chipmunks (ground squirrels to the mountain folk) mice, moles, birds, baby rabbits, hates dogs and is intrigued with deer and bears. I am working on a marketing campaign for my home inspection business, am considering an animal and assigned Sable the task of that selection. If all goes well she will make her announcement next week and explain her choice. Stay tuned, this could get interesting. Allowing her some involvement in my business could be dangerous.

Sable’s Assignment - Find a Company Mascot

Have you ever seen a Unicorn? Is it possible you have and didn’t realize it? 

Sable’s home on her mountain

Last week Sable was assigned a task, find an animal mascot which best represents one of this blog sponsors Chris D. Hilton and Associates Home/Building Inspections. She has access to the side of her mountain and the adjacent Cherokee National Forest. There are populations of many animals including, but far from limited to, bears, deer, mountain lions, bobcats, rattlesnakes, chipmunks, squirrels, skunks, raccoons, opossums, field mice, every variety and size of bird one can imagine from eagles down and on and on. You would think it would be an easy task.

Upon her return she advises that she couldn’t find a single animal which clearly represents the company. She advised that she talked with the fairies 🧚‍♀️ hiding in the massive rock formation on the ridge line and requested their assistance explaining the company like this:

“The company isn’t like other companies, is rare and highly valued by its clients and the agents who recommend them. Their performance is stellar inspecting every home as if their children were the buyers and their grandchildren would occupy the home. They provide extras over and above the home inspection and report adding value in excess of their inspection fee. This includes various warranty coverages, a buyback guarantee, keeping the agents they work with in front of their clients multiple times a month, for free, FOREVER, conducting per-listing inspections for sellers, actually assisting the listing agent selling their listings.”

The fairies response “There is no such animal in the real world and only one in the mystical world which comes near fitting what you seek. Return tomorrow and we will arrange for you to meet one.”

Returning on the next day the fairies explain that the mystical animal since it was first named of lore around the 1200s has gone on to represent “a person or thing that is rare and highly valued,” whether that’s a billion-dollar start up or that special someone in your life. You will find one, with her child, on your return home. Indeed on return home Mama April and her Baby Angel were on the living room rug in Sable’s Winston-Salem home.

Yes, only a mystical Unicorn is capable of clearly representing, as a mascot, for Chris D. Hilton and Associates Home/Building Inspection. 

Well Sable, it appears a Unicorn it will be. Will they be able to stay with us? Only if I agree to share my deli roast Beef, chicken, cabbage, litter box and you agree to return them to their mountain every four days. I think we can arrange that. Does their poop sparkle?

Icing on the Cake

Many of you requested more of the Adventures of Sable shared on Chris’s FaceBook page. Decided to connect that with the adventures we share about our Mountain Home, Home Inspections and Pam’s Real Estate Adventures in one place on this new Blog. Now Sable, April and Angel are exhausted and need a nap.

Or was Sable only dreaming? It isn’t possible that Unicorns, or such a home inspection company, could possibly be real. Could they?
