Maman has decided that she wants to start her breeding program now that we've been able to settle in for the most part. Her dog is too old for more healthy litters and Antoinette I had fixed because I never intended to breed her. All of our contacts for puppies are in France and she doesn't want to ship a new puppy. Or new puppies actually and I can't blame her for it. Antoinette did not do well on the flight and then in quarantine before we were able to bring her home. There's also the issue of who would even fly over to France to collect the puppies if we went with one of our old sources. As much as I would love to go visit our family and friends again I cannot because I have lessons lined up for this summer - adding a couple of other students to my client list and Maman can't travel by herself like that yet.

Does anyone on here know of a good reliable source for healthy purebred golden retrievers? Ideally two sources so that the puppies would be from different lines?

Want some good news? Isaac called last night with instructions that I tell you as soon as possible. You made quite an impression on him it seems.

So according to one of my nieces I am the absolute worst aunt ever, which when you think about the number of kids between my two sets of parents really says something for what I did. She called yesterday sobbing like someone had just broken her heart into a million pieces so I pulled over to the side of the road to talk to her and try to get her to calm down and tell me what had happened. Because she called me and not one of her parents and whatever it was I'd fill them in later with however much they had to know to make sure she was okay. Anyway 45 minutes later she had finally calmed down enough for me to get what had happened out of her - the whole conversation I was trying to mentally prepare myself for the absolute worst news she could have gotten - only to find out that the whole thing was over some celebrity cat who had passed away that she'd followed on Instagram.

Following on Instagram was the entire amount of interaction she'd had with this cat and their owners. Just liking the pictures that were posted. And okay my reaction probably won't win me a position in the amazing aunt hall of fame but I think it's at least a little understandable that the first thing out of my mouth was "Are you kidding me? All this over a cat? That you didn't even know?"

Use your brains people. You don't like your boss? That's fine. You want to bitch about them? Go right the fuck ahead. I've been there. I've done that. But don't go bitching about me or the day manager to our customers while you're on my clock. That won't get you sent home just for the night. That'll get you sent home and taken off my schedule permanently. I'm not joking. But that assholes loss is someone's opportunity. I'm looking for another bartender or two for mostly nights at Fangtasia. Professional experience preferred and you got to be willing to work some weekends but I try to rotate it among everybody so that no one is stuck working every weekend. Bonus points in the hire you column if you can handle yourself in the event of shit getting bad while I'm back in the office or busy and not able to give a hand.

Last night's unofficial listening party for Carly Rae Jepsen's new album was big hit. I even created a special drink for the night which, according to my bartenders, went over very well. We might have to do other events like this in the future.
