at my university, they won't renew your parking pass ifyou have tickets.

They don't issue our passes. I'm not employed by the university. Not a student.

And anyway, they shouldn't ticket me where I am now because it is unmarked. Nearest sign refers the other way and someone just whacked the head off the meter. So technically? I'm good. But the security people can be jerks here. I'd HOPE they are too busy actually being, I dunno, security, considering there was a murder on campus recently. And half the emergency call boxes hang up on you.

go to New Zealand!

Actually, in all seriousness, this sounds like a great idea.

Ann, that's a ferret.

Actually, in all seriousness, this sounds like a great idea.

Yes. Or Japan, for horizon expansion.

Nicole! It's been forever since I posted with you! How are you?

Robin, congrats on the dog. I have no useful info, just that.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I didn't do anything in particular to get the dog and cats to get along. The dog came into the household as a puppy when the cats were full grown, and I think that helped establish the cats as dominant. The dog is never ever ever allowed to chase cats (any cats, not just ours), though he is allowed to bark at strange cats who try to come in our open window. They worked everything else out on their own, and I probably don't know all the subtleties.

Dogs are fun. They require a different kind of attention than cats and they have different rewards

How about Dubrovnik, ita? Or in Greece, Meganisi or Skiros?

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

Yeah, dog / cat households are a lot more pleasant when the cats are firmly in charge, so whatever you can do to reinforce that... It's not so much that they're benevolent dictators, but they are more hands-off, and dogs don't get so touchy at being bossed around.

I'm getting the pig!

Someday I'll make it to New Zealand. Before I retire would be nice.

Nilly!!! I'm busily working (can't you tell?) but I'm good. Any vacation plans this year?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

How about Dubrovnik, ita?

How warm is that? I have a theoretical crush on all young Croatian men, so it sounds good. However my horizons are good with not expanding into the cold.

Or in Greece, Meganisi or Skiros?

I've been to a couple of Greek islands already, so it moves lower on my list.

Puppy!

And what everyone says on the cat being boss. Unless the cat is really really really mellow and the dog knows boundries.
