Fuck fuckity fuck fuck fuck

[Dorothy Zbornak]

The doggie farm where Lilly goes every September when we're in the US is suddenly completely full until Sept. 20.

We fly on the 14th.

Fuck. This has never, ever been a problem before.

[charmediamsure]

Oh noooooo. Can they recommend an alternative to you?

[charlielove]

OMG I read doggy farm and started getting a little worried. Okay, this situation still sucks, but not as much. You have lots of nice neighbors, right? Maybe they could watch her until the 20th?

[Dorothy Zbornak]

We wrote back all like, "Buuuutttt ... boo hoo ... we bring Lilly every year in September..." We told the woman who owns the place in June that we'd be bringing her in September, and she said OK. A different lady emailed us, so I asked her to ask the owner. Lilly is a complicated Diva Dog, but she loves this doggy farm. I just found another one on the internet that looks like it's a similar set up and have written to them about availability.

I know is this the Most Boring Post ever, but trip planning makes my anxiety go through the fucking roof, and when glitches like this happen ... kablammo.

[carawestt]

Ugh that's no good! Hopefully the owner will be able to get her in.

Well, that's just b.s. if they don't have space for her when you mentioned it in June.  Ummm, verbal contract.... Ummm... I'm grasping at straws here.  But, really, they should have had you book if this was a possibility.

Ha, no. It's a farm for dogs to romp and play. It's really nice. The thing about Lilly is that ... she's complicated. Shit-on-your-pillow complicated. Before we found this doggy farm, she stayed with two different sets of friends. Both said NEVER AGAIN. Which I completely understand.

I'm sure we'll figure something out, but this is just one more thing for me to stress out about. I have to know that the damn dog is happy in order to halfway relax on the flight ... which is another thing that makes me anxious as hell.

Ah. I'm going to need a vacation from this vacation.

[rileym2010]

Oh no! Hope they are able to fit her in.

Yeah ... we totally mentioned it in passing when we picked up Lilly after she had spent one night there in June. But we've always booked our trip around this time, and it has seriously never been a problem.

[creamsiclechica]

Hopefully a word in to the owner who knwos you well will help! That is stressful for sure

[Dorothy Zbornak]

Or I can call and tell them Lilly is going to come shit all over them if they don't make room for her!

[jfh]

Gak, I'm so sorry. That would totally stress me out too. It sounds like you're a loyal client with basically a standing reservation at this time of year, so hopefully the owner will fit you in. If you're absolutely desperate it's possible she could come shit on my pillows, though S is allergic to dogs so I would have to talk him into snot and shit in the same convo. Beej time??

[monkeybabe]

I hope the owner makes space for her. Apparently, Lilly-s are complicated dogs, because I can't think of a lot of places that would deal with my weirdo.

Oh, you'd beej for me?! (heart) (kiss)

[Dorothy Zbornak]

Oh! The other place I found has space for Lilly, and it's closer than our usual place. But they did call me Mr. Zbornak in the email, sooooo ....

I guess that means they know about my detachable penis.

That is the sweetest thing anyone has ever said to me on the internet.

Just for the record, I will not beej anyone for any of you for any price. But I love you all the same.

I love how you're always becoming a Mr. in emails.  You give us all hope of raising our kids gender neutral and breaking down all those pesky barriers.

Seriously, with my name, you'd think it would never happen. And yet, here in Germany, all the time.

I TRANSEND GENDER.

[creamsiclechica]

It does make me lol all the time, because I'd never think to mistake your first name for a male.

But those Germans, they have other ideas. Maybe it's the speedos.

Or my penis.











Oh. I've said too much.

[monkeybabe]

You ladies are cracking me up.

Hate the situation. Love this thread.

And, my ambiguously-gendered friend named after an 80s song, I beej for no one.

Me? 80s song? No, my sweet, sweet young'un. The song that mentions my name is from 1972. Unless you were not referring to me.

Runs to google.

Huh, I sort of thought it might be late 70s, but I didn't realize it was 72!

[monkeybabe]

You're a fine girl...

I read this as

I had to re read several times.

Me too. I was like, why is she talking like a transgendered kindergartner? It should be I AM transgendered, Dorothy Zbornak.
