juliana, i think the idea of just assuming they won't check the weight thing is a good idea. I've flown with my dogs many, many times. They hardly look at the paperwork and have never weighed them. Plus, it seems unlikely that they would weigh the cat separate from the carrier.
Spike's Bitches 28: For the Safety of Puppies...and Christmas!
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
top 20 would be good...
ETA - dang. I'll take top 25.
Carry on.
I'm so sorry, MG.
Oh, frell, Maidengurl. Hearty mother-to-mother sympathies. What happened?
Oh no Maidengurl!
MG, that is a real bummer.
Oh, MG. I'm so sorry.
Jaysus, MG. That's awful.
oh, crapola, MG. Totally the last thing you all needed.
x-posted from my lj as I just typed it up there...
CJ's principal called an hour ago. Before school, CJ was rough housing with another boy and started dancing around throwing fake punches and saying "Bring it on". So the other boy punched him. In the face. Gave CJ a bloody nose.
Both boys were suspended for two days. The other boy for punching CJ. CJ for taunting the other boy and for having a history of this type of thing. He has been in the principal's office 4 times so far this year.
When I went to pick him up, - yes, the only employeed person in my house was the one who had to deal with this - the ladies in the office and his teacher were all - "But he is so sweet...". Yeah, and has little impulse control.
I'm so tired of this - we seem to go through it every year. This is the second time that he has been suspended. I hate that he is building this rep for himself. I hate having to be in mean-mom mode (tm). I know, this situation makes him look like the victim, but he has had lots of problems with self-control and this is just another example. He KNOWS that fake fighting can lead to real fighting.
Anyway, he is now at work with me and stuck here until 2:30. His teacher gave him some schoolwork and a book, plus he has the construction site to watch.
