Beth- thanks for posting the update on your pup- so scary for all of you, I am sure.

Kelly- I think I have the same crud as you- Felt terrible all weekend. I didn't cancel my daycare
because it is just the one and only half day. If I still had all the kids, I would seriously be thinking of canceling-Don't remember ever canceling but sure felt like it MANY times- always felt guilty thinking about it. Just hoping it doesn't trigger my asthma again-it is close, I can feel it. Slept off and on until 9:30 when dh came home from work.

Carla- I hope your new situation at work turns out ok.

Viv- hope your mom can find what works best for her

Time for another cup of hot tea- drank so much last night that I was full and skipped dinner(barely ate lunch, skipped breakfast) had a bean burrito for lunch and a few pieces of beef jerky in the afternoon.

I didn't go to my own uni graduation, nor my MA graduation. I did not go to either of my sons' graduations. I don't recall anyone sending gifts, or cards. It was just a piece of paper to me. I did keep the certificates in a drawer, but I don't think I've ever had to show them!

Had a nice chat with my friend G this afternoon. I haven't spoken to anyone for days, apart from DH! My friend L hasn't replied to my texts, though she has read them. I hope she is OK. She has assistance coming in twice a day.

DDIL has sent lots of lovely photos and a video from their holiday in Greece.

Missing them, but it's great to see them having a great time. Sailing, paddle boarding, etc. I hope their return flight won't be disrupted. Many flights and holidays are being cancelled at the last minute because of lack of staff. Chaos is widespread and on the news.

Son and Bea.

Michele-I agree with Tracey. Jess and Denise are adults and they should work it out and not put you and Vince in the middle. Don't punish yourselves and PJ for their behavior. I’d also just go by myself if the mister chose not to.

Beth-Glad the pup is going to be OK.

Tracey-So sorry about your daughter and SIL.

Katie-My mother was taking care of my grandmother when she had dementia. It got to the point that it was too difficult and she was not qualified to perform the care my grandmother needed. Eventually, she had to go into a care facility. It was not the ideal situation, but my mother could not take care of herself and my grandmother anymore and the health of both started severely suffering.

Well, I have my workout completed. Am sitting outside in the sun to cool down. It has started getting really windy very early in the morning now, so the cool wind with the warm sun is nice right after a good sweat. The rest of they day, it’ll be too cold to sit outside like this.

Beth agree with Lisa. I learned that if your dog is attacked to pick up the legs of the attacking dog to get them to stop. Also when neighbors dog was aggressive towards me I put a broom between me and the dog. I also called the city on their dog. The city will take the dog and the dog has to prove it is not aggressive.

This could have been a small child. I love dogs as you know but it is not safe and their human is not reponsible the city needs to decide what to do with the dog. When walking with Drew I met a dog trainer and he comment on what a sweet temperment she has. I am very cautious with her and said it can take only one bad encounter. So as I walk with DrewB I say to her say hello until we know. In the meantime I put myself between her and the other dog and will keep a distance.

Your situation is more like the irresponsible neighbors I have. They no longer have their dog. Fortunately no animals or people got hurt.

An unprovoked dog attack makes the owners legally responsible especially if it happened in your yard. Give them the vet bill period. They will more than likely have to cover it because many insurance companies do not cover agressive breeds. That is their problem not yours. They made enough of a problem for you, your family, and your dog. Tell them you made a report and do it so they are held accountable.

The problem with neighbors putting up a fence is the dog will charge the fence. It is like leash aggression and you will no longer be able to have your dog in the back yard because the dog will terrify your dog. This is what happened to the neighbors who were next to the aggressive dog behind me. They could not have their dog out in the backyard when the aggresive dog was out in the yard even though the yard was fenced. This dog escaped the fence twice and charged me. The only reason she did not get me is one time I had a broom and the other was I was in my fenced in yard.

I will just say it the dog needs to go. It is your neighbor's fault not yours. They knew the dog couldn't be trust yet they did not take the steps they needed to make sure he wouldn't hurt someone or another animal.

I would not talk to the neighbors either because you might need to take legal action to get them to pay the vet bill. You have a kind heart and might agree to something that is not good for you in the long run.

The sorries from your neighbors are too late!!!

Michelle - Add me to the list of people that have concerns of you getting between Jess and Denise. You already have a tenuous relationship with Denise. She doesn't want you to visit and has no interest in visiting you. If you turn down this visit because of Jess, will she offer a visit again in the future or will you be sealing your fate of never seeing her or PJ again? Extreme consequence? Maybe? From what you've told us, she is holding a grudge against Denise for something that you aren't aware of. It doesn't seem like a leap to me.

As for her giving you an excuse instead of just saying she didn't want to go to Jess' graduation.....sounds like she learned that from you. You often tell us you are skipping one event or another with Newcomers and give them an excuse you make up instead of just saying no. You've even told us you hope Vince doesn't let the cat out of the bag by telling them a different reason for you not attending. One of the biggest lessons I've learned is it is ok to say No to an invitation. Not I would love to but I can't because.....or I want to but I can't because......Just No.

Good luck. I hope it all works out for you like you want it to.

I just texted Pete and Denise saying that something came up and we need to leave Monday. That's really not a lie. I also told them that we'd be up Labor Day weekend. We'll arrive Fri, spend Sat. Sun. and Mon with them and leave Tues. morning.

Vince said that he really isn't interested in going but he will go because he knows that I want to. To me, it's the right thing to do

okie - I never lied to my parents. I never hurt someone. Not going to a Newcomer function? That doesn't hurt anyone's feelings. And I've gone to some that I really didn't want to go to but went for others. "Something came up". That's not a lie. That's sparing her feelings, not telling her that she made the wrong decision.

Just called some places near Steve where we can get some fried chicken and I'll probably get a frozen mac & Cheese.

I went to all of my grads but sometimes I was the only one of my family there.

Thing is ... my grads mean something to me but they're pretty boring for the spectators.

And most of my grads limited our guests to 2. So it's not like you can bring the whole family.
