I'm so annoyed. I've been annoyed since Friday when The Boy's sister called to bail on us. She was supposed to be coming to stay at our house and pet sit for us while we are in Jamaica. We are leaving in less than 2 weeks and NOW she calls to cancel. She's known about this for months. She agreed MONTHS ago!! And now she wants to bail. I cannot even begin to tell you how stressed this makes me. Normally, my sister would come and stay and take care of everyone but she is coming on this vacation too... as is my mother (let's be honest my mother would never pet sit.) I don't want to leave the dog in the kennel because I worry that it might seriously stress him out. He is a people dog. He likes company. He HATES cages. I absolutely cannot leave him in a cage at the vet for a week. Just thinking about it makes me want to cry. Yes, I know, I'm a little over the top for my animals.
My mother and I were talking yesterday about how, in some ways, babies are easier than kids. I mean, I could leave my infant (if I had one) with my Grandma for the week and know that he'd be well taken care of, but I can't leave my dog there. She wouldn't be able to deal with walking him and picking up after him and all of that. You can't take a dog out to lunch with you or grocery shopping. You can strap a baby in a stroller and try your luck. Grrr. I'm so mad at his sister.
So, yesterday I was supposed to check out a place to possibly board the pup. It's a woman and her husband and kids. They live in a cottage surrounded by English gardens all fenced in with white picket fences. She only take small dogs and only 5 or 6 at a time. Supposedly, she is very good with animals. I was going to take the pup and head over to meet her yesterday evening but received a phone call late in the afternoon that a car had driven into her house and she'd have to reschedule!!! WTF? How often to you hear that?? I felt terrible for her. She was so upset and takes such pride in her gardens, and apparently the car took down her front garden and cherry tree and landed up her front steps just inches from the house. No doggies were injured. lol.
I'm starting to feel like the universe doesn't want me to leave my puppy. Damn animals!

Oooh where are you going in Jamaica? I went 3 years ago it's a lot of fun but it can be really sketchy too.
Jamaica sounds like so much fun!!! Leaving the animals is stressfull. That totally sucks that you had someone lined up and they bailed - so not cool. Hopefully all works out with the lady and you can take them there.
i just wanted to comment on your "engagement/ultimatum" post
I gave my man an ultimatum, but it was after 5 years, and I just told him "i'm not looking for the whole kitnkaboodle. Im looking for the committment. I want to know that you're in it for the long haul. If not, I want to find someone who will. I want kids. I want a ring. I don't need a wedding, I'm happy with common law, I just want to show the world we are together"
I would have been happy if he sat down and said "wanna just go and pick out wedding rings? we're legally common law. Let's go to city hall and stand in front of the justice of the peace..."
but he loved me enough that he gave me a wedding he knew I wanted deep down, and that he didn't want.
but you have to know as well. i mean, this whole "save a date, opps. sorry, no! not today" plays on your emotions. i say, if he does it again this time, just start rethinking things.
another thought: two years before he proposed to me, I bought a ring, and I proposd to HIM.
ever think about that?
