Here’s a few pics and videos of Chase.
The Tale of Chase and His Half-a-Ball: A Long-Haired German Shepherd Love Story
There are dog lovers, and then there are staunch “my-dogs-are-my-co-pilots, my-shadow, my-ride-or-dies” type of dog lovers. My wife and I? Definitely the latter. And it all began with Chase, our Long-Haired German Shepherd born on 25th January 2023; a majestic and fluffy, fiercely loyal, and ridiculously stubborn dog with one very peculiar obsession: his prized possession, half-a-ball.
The Ball that Never Dies
Chase adored a particular toy above all others: a red ball. But let’s make no mistake—this is not a ball, and once it even ceased to exist. A long time ago, it did, and in fact Chase loved to fetch it—round, smooth and completely undamaged. However, now? Well, now it resembles an object of interest that has been subjected to a brutal archaeological dig. It overflows with bite marks, is disfigured beyond recognition, is in need of surgery, and quite frankly, had physics not intervened, would have ceased to exist by now.
As dutiful dog guardians, we engaged in speculative thinking. Why do we not attempt to acquire a new ball for him? Or, alternatively, how about two dozen brand new red balls that are identical to the first one? Since it was clear to us that the only issue was his lack of options. Makes sense, right?
No, not at all.
When Chase came out to play, he was greeted by several pristine new balls. Instead of running towards them like a sane dog, he sniffed them thoroughly and walked away as if he had just seen the antichrist. He didn’t even bother touching the fresh balls because at the end of the day, all he wanted was his half-ball. His one true love, the ball most people would disassociate with, is a half-chewed, nearly unrecognizable, blended piece of rubber that is coated with slobber. No other ball comes close to it.
Meet Skylar and Floppy: The Sister Duo
At this point, I am sure you have also deduced that Chase is our favorite dog in the family. For reasons that I am sure will be explained later, we can’t be normal people and leave him all by himself, hence, we got him two sisters. Now Chase was born on January 25, 2023, and so were his new sisters, making him a year older than the two. We surely love a good symmetric story.
Floppy most accurately describes the look of confusion, her ears thrown in different directions, give her a quirky, cartonish look style that can be also described as outright unique. Together with Skyler, who serves as the more excitement-driven dog, they have singlehandedly changed Chase’s life for the better, but the worst for Chase’s owners. The sweetest part? The lovely, heart-melting chaos they create while together.
The Three Musketeers (And Their Chauffeur—Me)
These three are a tight-knit group, and it is amusing to note that they would take my job if given the chance. They sit in the front row of the car when we go for rides together, which is a must. It gets pretty crowded because Chase assumes the shotgun role, while Skylar and Floppy scrunch up at the back like two misbehaved toddlers on a family trip.
As I am idling at stoplights, Chase scans the pedestrians and judges every single person’s life decisions while Sklyar and Floppy use the chance to bark at random objects. It is hard to get any gas without an event happening either. Whenever I leave the car unattended, all three dogs treat me like I am abandoning them and press their noses on the window as I step away until I come back.
The Ball Conspiracy Continues
With the arrival of two new sisters, one would assume that Chase would loosen up over the ball. Chase doesn’t share, nor does he seem inclined to. Everyone is baffled along with Skylar and Floppy because they are unaware of his bizarre dedication to the mangled ball. Those two other dogs would much rather chase the new red balls, which frustrates Chase to no end as he sits and perpetually observes the younger dogs, shaking his head in disbelief.
Now and then, Floppy makes an attempt to capture Chase’s half-ball to try understanding the excitement surrounding it, which is always an awful decision. Chase always gets it back with all the fervor of a person who is safeguarding the final piece of pizza at a party.
Life with The Trio
Our lives now center around three enormous, cute, spoiled, and incredibly funny dogs. Some bone of contention includes but is not limited to:
✅ Chase still not accepting the fact that his ball is not a ball anymore.
✅ Skylar being the main culprit of mischief.
✅ Floppy attempting to act like a baffled potato.
✅ All of them fighting for a ride in the car as if the car belongs to them.
We would not want it any other way.
So, if you ever spot a car zooming past with three extravagant Long Haired German Shepherds- one inconspicuously gripping a half-ball in his mouth while the other two stare in perplexment- you now have an idea as to who we are.
And if by chance you have a chewed up, barely recognizable red ball that is too damaged for any normal person to use, then to you Chase may just consider you his best pal.
P.S. Your guess is as good as mine on how we can convince Chase to replace the beloved trinket he keeps with a brand new, whole red ball. It’s safe to assume that whatever he has will remain. 🐾

wanted to inquire about an issue I’m experiencing with my DU approval. Guy changed jobs after 4 plus years. In May and July changed again. Back at original job. had initially received DU approval, but after adding a modular home to the equation, there seems to be a problem. He does not have a lot of credit, so I assume needed to add tradelines.
The DU findings state:
- “This case is ineligible because the loan amount of $168,875 exceeds the FHA maximum loan calculation of $160,190.” *
Could you please clarify what steps I can take to address this issue or how we can adjust the loan amount or any other factors that may be affecting my eligibility? I appreciate your assistance in resolving this matter.
Thank you for your time and help.

It’s a real shame how people and corporations treat the elderly in 2024. These people have worked their entire lives and supported and raised families. If it weren’t for them, we would have nothing. Yet they are being discarded once they have been sucked dry of all their money, even when having a lifetime contract to live in a senior living facility.

Kamala Harris is the nation’s biggest laughing stock. Kamala Harris is hands down the biggest jackass. Her accent imitation makes her become the dumbest Global idiot, including for the DEMOCRATS. Kamala Harris is such a FAKE. It is also alleged Kamala Harris is a severe alcoholic—more on this rambling idiot Kamala Harris. The incompetent Kamala Harris is a major embarrassment and disgrace. She’s one disgusting, unlikeable, lying, uncreditable, flip-flopping, mentally deranged subhuman blizzard piece of shit.

What is the current state of our economy? Has Bidenomics helped our economy like Kamala Harris keeps on saying? Did the United States have a soft landing like Janet Yellen and Jerome Powell said? Democrats are saying we dodged a bullet because of the Biden Administration. The unemployment numbers came in at 4.2%. Are the unemployment numbers real or not accurate? Inflation numbers are at 3% but that number is not correct if you shop for goods and services. Mortgage rates went from 2.5% in 2019 to 7.5%. How did the sudden 400% jump in rates affect the economy? How is the 100% plus increase in home values affecting our economy? How is unemployment numbers at 4.2% is not reflective to actual Americans out of work?

Where is the housing market headed? What are your thoughts? I want to hear everyone’s thoughts about the housing market forecast. Are we headed towards a housing crisis worse than the 2008 financial crisis? Take the following into consideration:
1. Rates went from 2.5% in 2019 to today’s 7.5%.
2. Inflation at historic rates.
3. Housing prices up 50% or more since 2018.
4. Economic numbers are lies. The Biden Administration have lied about economy and economic growth. Joe Biden said our economy is doing great and Inflation is only a 4% and unemployment rate is only 3.2%. BIG FAT LIES AFTER LIES.
5. Kamala Harris, the first woman who slept her way to the White House touts Bidenomics is GREAT 👍 and that it WORKS: BULLSHIT 🐎 🐴 🎠 🏇 HORSESHIT 🫏 🐴 🫏 🐴

Does anyone know if there Down Payment Assistant programs in the state of California that also cover the real estate agent commission fee? With the recent NAR settlement, I’m wondering if buyers with no cash on hand may have this as an option if the seller will not agree to a buyer agent fee concession. Thanks.

Has anyone here ever purchased a condo with a land lease that was set to expire within 10-15 years? If so, were you able to use a lender for financing, and if yes, what type of loan did you get? I’m curious to hear about any experiences or challenges with securing financing in this situation. Thanks!

I am considering taking out a VA loan, but I need to know how to go about this. I understand that I have to meet certain requirements to qualify, but I’m not sure what they all are, especially when it comes to getting the VA Certificate of Eligibility (COE). Would someone be kind enough to explain it to me and take me through all the procedures for obtaining the COE?

California to set aside $300 Million for illegal immigrants to buy homes. Many see this as another example of Democrats prioritizing illegal immigration over the needs of taxpaying citizens, further burdening Californians. With California’s housing costs among the highest in the nation, this program is seen as fiscally irresponsible, potentially leading to bankrupting the state. Gavin Newsom and the Democrats are totally out of control. Why would anyone want to live in California?

What is Bidenomics? Is Bidenomics a real thing? The U.S. economy is in crisis. Inflation is soaring. Mortgage rates have tripled from its low a few years ago from 2.5% to 7.5%. Home prices have doubled in many parts of the country and its not if we are going to have a housing bubble but when. Unemployment numbers came out last Friday and just skyrocketed from 3.2% to 4.3%. Many people cannot keep up with inflation. The economic data and numbers being released are lies. The inflation rate is NOT 3%. Look at the prices of goods and services when you go shopping. Most consumers see prices of goods and services are 100% to 500% higher than what it used to be. NOT 3% to 4%. Look around you. Look at how many people are out of work. Again, LIES, LIES, LIES. 4.3%? I don’t think so. The Dow Jones Industrial Average should NOT be at 40,000. The Federal Reserve Board is printing money like it is going out of style. Is Kamala Harris that much of an IDIOT? I think so. Kamala Harris is going around touting and bragging about Bidenomics and that Bidenomics is here to stay. Joe Biden is going around bragging that he made the economy of the United States through Biden Economics. So what is Bidenomics and what makes Biden Economics so GREAT? What is the difference between Reaganomics and Bidenomics? Why is the least popular politicians, Kamala Harris, going around and running on Bidenomics and how great Joe Biden was as President of the United States. Does Harris realize that Joe Biden stands to be the worst President in the History of the United States, making him worse than Jimmy Carter? So, can you please explain in detail what Bidenomics is so we, the American people, can understand?

In the 2024 election cycle, ex-President Donald Trump chose J.D. Vance, a senator from Ohio, to serve as his running mate. With this announcement now complete, the Republican ticket for President includes:
- Vance in recognition of his Marine Corps and business record.
- Strong backing for Trump over the past few years.
- Being an outside-the-beltway populist.
Once a vocal opponent of Trump’s candidacy during the 2016 primaries (The Hill) , Vance’s subsequent about-face made him one of the then-president’s most stalwart defenders throughout various legal battles. According to the News Team at GCA FORUMS, this pick is projected to generate even more enthusiasm around Trump’s campaign.

Whatever the Biden Administration and the mainstream media network is telling you how great Bidenomics is and how great the economy is, that’s a lie. Home Depot is facing a decline in revenues year over year. McDonald’s is struggling. The construction industry is struggling. Home prices are plummeting. Inflation is not at 3%. It’s more like 100%. Stay tuned.

Buying a home is one of the biggest financial decisions you’ll make, and it’s important to stay informed about recent changes in the real estate process that could impact your experience. Recently, the National Association of REALTORS® (NAR) reached a settlement introducing new guidelines to increase transparency for homebuyers. Here’s a breakdown of what you need to know and how it might affect you.
What’s Changed?
One of the key changes is that homebuyers will now be required to sign a written Buyer Representation Agreement before touring homes with an agent. This agreement outlines the services your agent will provide, how they’ll be compensated, and the duration of the representation. The idea behind this change is to ensure that you and your agent clearly understand your working relationship from the outset.
Understanding the Buyer Representation Agreement
The Buyer Representation Agreement is essentially a contract between you and your agent. It specifies the terms of your partnership, including:
- Agent Responsibilities: Clearly defines what your agent will do for you during the representation period.
- Transparency of Services: Ensures you understand your agent’s role and the services they’ll provide.
- Compensation Details: Specifies how and what your agent will be paid.
- Expert Guidance: This guarantees that you have a professional on your side to help you navigate the complex homebuying process.
These changes are designed to protect you by ensuring that everything is clearly laid out before you start the homebuying process.
What About Seller-Paid Fees?
One important point to note is that while the ruling restricts the advertisement of the buyer’s agent fee on the MLS, it doesn’t prevent the seller from covering your agent’s fee. In many cases, your REALTOR® can still negotiate with the seller to have them pay your agent’s fee as part of the transaction. This can be a significant financial benefit, as it could reduce the amount you need to bring to closing. Your agent will advocate on your behalf to ensure you’re getting the best possible deal, which might include negotiating for the seller to cover some or all of your agent’s fee.
Why Work with a REALTOR®? Even with these new requirements, working with a REALTOR® can provide significant benefits during your homebuying journey:
-
Expertise: REALTORS® are trained professionals who understand the complexities of the real estate market. They can help you navigate contracts, negotiations, and other important aspects of buying a home.
-
Local Knowledge: A REALTOR® with experience in your area can provide valuable insights into neighborhoods, property values, and market trends that might not be obvious at first glance.
-
Support and Guidance: The homebuying process can be overwhelming, especially for first-time buyers. A REALTOR® can guide you through each step, helping you make informed decisions along the way.
These recent changes are about ensuring you’re fully informed and protected throughout the homebuying process. The Buyer Representation Agreement is a tool to ensure transparency and clear communication between you and your agent, ultimately leading to a smoother and more confident homebuying experience.
If you have any questions about how these changes might impact you or if you want to discuss what to expect, feel free to reach out (949-414-9433) or visit my website (chadbushre.com/).
