Do you live with your mom? Could a sitter come to your house? That said, Goose is very much an "I really am just comfortable with my family" type of dog and she always does fine boarding at a kennel. Is it her favorite thing in the world? I'm sure not. But dogs are adaptable 
They're actually all boarding for a week starting today.

I wish our weather would pick a freakin season!! I have been miserable. Sinuses plugged and then draining and then plugged because one day it's 85 and the next 60. Raining for the foreseeable future. This is not summer and with the winters we have had I really want a summer I just feel like whining and feel crappy doing it. Other people have reasons to whine. Ugh. Going to a benefit for a little boy that needs a heart transplant and I just have a horrible sinus headache so I'm making myself go.
And my best friend is moving to Colorado. Wtf.
On the plus side I am catching up on some spongebob.

Would your mom know anyone who could watch her? Not a sitter, but a friend or relative who would be able to act as a sitter?
Does your mom have the ability to say Nia can't go to someone else's house? If Nia is your dog (not a family/shared dog), I'd choose that anyway. Mom might be pissy, but she's not giving you much leeway for other choices.
This is a stupid thing to be annoyed about, but someone from my hometown/that I went to HS will recently became very successful in major sports. Cue, every single post in my newsfeed/every local paper/TV station plastered with his face. Which wouldn't bother me in itself, but it's just everyone I know in some way bragging about knowing him. HE PLAYED LITTLE LEAGUE WITH MY KIDS HERE'S 25 PICTURES OF THEM GETTING PARTICIPATION TROPHIES 20 YEARS AGO. HE ATE AT MY DINER. HIS PARENTS LIVED NEXT DOOR TO ME AND I ALWAYS SAW HIM PRACTICE. Yeah, you and everyone else from our small town.

I need up boarding her anyway since the trip was already planned.
Now I'm super super stressed about her not being with me. I keep wondering if she's drinking and eating... And if she's going to be ok with the water in the kitchen of the boarding place and not in the bedroom. But I don't want to be the super crazy person that micro manages the boarder's actions. Ack. She also works at home and I don't want to keep pestering her with questions all day like did she eat? Did she drink? Is she ok? Is she sad?

I think I'm dying from strep. Literally
It's in my ears, my glands are SUPER swollen, and it's like I swallowed two white fuzzy caterpillars and they latched themselves to my throat. I'm on day 3 of antibiotics, steroids, and rinse for possible thrush. I'm choking on myself. Oh and puss. You all needed to know that really badly *evil cackling*

Dana, that sounds so horrible. I hope you feel better soon. Gargle all the saltwater.
I get so annoyed constantly seeing other moms putting their 10 months old, 13 months old, 15 month old, 18 month old in a front facing car seat. It's 2015. We know better. Our pediatrician tells us every visit she should rear face. My mom's group is constantly bombarded with posts (all of these women are members of it) with the differences in safety rear and forward facing. I just can not for the life of me understand why you'd put your kid in danger like that....there are plenty of things that parents are divided on or don't believe in, but this one seems pretty obvious.
And people almost always say something, send them a link to recommendations or the car seat company's guidelines or whatever. And they respond "well his legs couldn't go straight in the car" or "he likes it better". Yeah, my kid likes to have ice cream for breakfast better than yogurt and she likes to dive headfirst off the furniture instead of getting down like a human, but I don't let her, because I try to keep her safe. And if you can read, you can see on EVERY SINGLE car seat page/police page/fire department page/hospital page/pediatrician page about car seats, it will tell you that the length of their legs is not an indicator of when they should turn.

I am on vacation in Chicago this week (we leave tomorrow night). Today Jules , who is in boarding with the rest of the crew) lost function of all four legs. He does have horri la dpi so arthritis, but may have a possible spinal tumor. He is on steroids to see if he improves function and has a urinary catheter. If no improvement, we will be saying goodbye when we get home. Bummer end to a vacation, particularly as we cannot change our flight out time
That sucks Gipsy! Is this like a few years ago when there was a big heat wave in France and a number of elderly folks died?? I hope you find a way to manage
There really isn't going to be much relief these next few days. It's been horribley dry here already all summer long - actually it hasn't REALLY rained more than one day since I dunno... March? If it continues there will be a water shortag.
