Thanks, Karl, love. She and I just FaceTimed and she seems to be feeling more or less okay, no longer feverish and not achy or breaking out in blisters or anything else. But if she's only two or so days in she's still contagious, and so sleepaway camp is done for the year.
Oh, I get it. You just don't like who did the rescuing, that's all. Wishin' I was your boyfriend what's-his-height. Oh wait, he's run off.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Everyone is a poor noodle and I hurt for all of them!
Aw, including you! What a sucky situation.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
Ugh, JZ. I'm so sorry. ltc had that this year, and you're right not to go near Matilda before seeing your Mom. The adults didn't end up with the rash, but we all had terrible joint pain for several days.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Oh, no! I'm sorry, JZ and Matilda.

Our wings are not tired.
{{Matilda and family}} I am so sorry that she has had this summer experience, but also grateful that you have a village to pinch hit for you. Hip~ma for your mom and wishes for quick recovery.
sarameg, this zenlike transformation is a very big thing! It will serve you well in the years to come. Also, super impressive. Knowing when you need to run away is also very important.
Karl, I'm sorry. My dog is a big scary looking baby. I know she wouldn't hurt anyone, but I always ask if I should put her outside if someone comes to the house that may be spooked by her. Even being a lifetime owner of large dogs I get spooked if a big one comes charging at me!
The honeymooners have arrived in Otter Lake. DH and I are in final frantic prep mode to head that way ourselves. The list, she is long.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Oh no! Poor Matilda and family, and yay for EM! Good luck to your mom, too, JZ.
That is awesome, sara.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Oh, man, JZ that's a lot of not what anyone wants.
I'm sorry that happened to you, Karl.

Ugh, sorry JZ. I hope Matilda recovers quickly.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Poor everyone but especially Matilda!
My parents walk their dog off leash in Rock Creek Park (which is against the posted rules), but they didn't start doing it until she was well-trained enough to come and sit by her human whenever they pass another person on the trail. Unless you're a deer or a squirrel she won't chase or jump on you.
(She only jumps up on people who are trying to give my Mom a hug, because she has a Thing about that. We're not sure if she sees it as "This is a fun game let me play too!" or "My human is being attacked, I will defend her by putting my paws on the intruder's shoulders!")

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Poor Matilda.
Boo crappy dog owners.
Guess who woke up with either food poisoning or a stomach bug? So that was a fun couple of minutes of wondering if I needed to pass out. Fortunately I didn't, and I feel mostly okay now.
