We had breakfast over in the lobby the next morning and then headed off...but...not before I discovered that not only had Molly picked up extreme diarrhea from cat food, but a massive dose of fleas. OMG!!!! (big time shovel list!!!) Jeez, she keeps leaping around and biting herself. When I took a look I couldn't believe the thousands of fleas on her!!! And that was from only a few hours in that place. So now I have to go and buy a load of expensive flea crap, bath her a million times and spray her bedding etc...have I mentioned before I DON'T LIKE DOGS!!! Not enough to make up for this kind of crap.
Then, on our way to Ikea, making a quick stop for my niece, just as we were arriving in the parking lot, we heard that oh so familiar burbly squirt sound. By the time I got parked, bailed out of the jeep and threw Molly out, the brown liquid had spread down through everything...suitcases, bags of clothes, bags of purchases, coats etc...I was so pissed off I saw red!!! I just simply don't love dogs enough to put up with their inevitable crap.
It took an hour to clean everything up. But its going to stink in that jeep for a long time to come. I bought a bunch of big blue bags in Ikea and we put one on the floor on the passenger front side and made her stay down there. We stopped all along the way to let her out to squirt.
Grrrrr...the fact that absolutely none of this was her fault makes zero difference to me. I wasn't mad at her...she never knew....but I am just mad in general that I have been stuck with a stupid dog I never wanted to begin with. Now this morning I got hold of a kennel here in town. I think this will become her new home away from home. She can stay there while we go to Nelson.
Other than that, the trip home was beautiful. And slowly but surely Monte descended into coughing fits and sore throat and sick etc....he seems to have picked up the flu that is going around right now. I wonder if its the one the flu shot is for? LOL!!
We arrived home to a beautifully clean home. Anne went above and beyond the call of duty I tell you!!! She even cleaned and organized my garage!! And that wasn't easy for her. She has a really bad hip that makes mobility difficult...she is truly an amazing friend. She was here when we got home and she had her beautiful nine year old granddaughter with her! I do believe her name is Keo..she is half Japanese and stunningly beautiful. And so confident and engaging. What a delight!! It was so good to see them.
I had a pretty low key rest of the day. Mail, soup, emails, PVR catchups! Oh and putting Molly outside...poor dog. She is miserable. I gave her an extra big dinner last night and lots of her fave treats. I bathed her and cuddled her in her towel for ages..she loves that. She had a pretty calm night, now and then attacking herself chasing those damned fleas. She is just too old for this poor thing.
I have spent the entire morning googling data usage on cell phones. There is something wrong with the data usage on Monte's phone. When I looked at the bill, he used 700 plus mg's one night at 11:54:54. Really? No he FRIGGING didn't!!!!!!! He was asleep with his data turned off. And I can vouch for that...he was in the same hotel room as me that night. THEY ARE WRONG!!! But they are not admitting it. So I have studied up and I know what that phone would have to be doing to wrack up 700 mega bytes and it WASN'T. I am pissed off!!!! But I need knowledge before calling them. And what I am learning is outrageous. Those damned carriers!!! Data does not cost them anything yet they charge us unbelievable amounts....and that only in Canada thank you very much. We need to start a petition and action to get rid of the CRTC who keeps competition away. I hate them. They are also responsible for the shitty tv and radio we have in Canada. We don't need protecting anymore...we are good enough to stand on our own. Grrrrrr.....
Gotta bounce. Things to do and I gotta work off my frustrations..lol!!! TTYL PS: there will be a plethora of get rid of pics tomorrow. Lots of missed days to make up for.

Hey! We do not suck! We are higher in the standings than your Red Wings, thank you very much. And yes I am well aware of your recent victory of us, as I was at the game. So I saw how first hand we dominated for two periods, only to serve it up on a platter in the third.
ReplyDeleteSo you can say the Canucks suck if you wish, but then you have to say the Wings suck in the same sentence hahahah
I was too upset to read the rest of your post... ill try again later :)
