I wanna see my nieces. I don't wanna leave my cats for 2 days. I don't wanna go to Montreal. I don't wanna be stuck in a 3 bedroom house with 10 people. I don't wanna go to Montreal. I don't wanna go! :(:(
 
Are they old enough to invite out? Or is there an adult cool enough to be invited over as an attachment? Probably not for this one, but for later?

Good luck with the holidays, regardless!

I'm so sorry, that sounds like you've really got a conundrum on your hands :( I completely understand wanting to see your nieces, mine live in Kingston right now, and I'm not likely to see them again for some time. And definitely being in a 3-bedroom house with 10 people would be so absolutely miserable!

I'll be Skype chatting with them later today, that's not as good as seeing them in person, but at least I'll get to say Merry Christmas.

My gf goes through a litany very similar to this every year, then goes and has a good time.

I'll have a good time. Its 2 hours in a car though with my 70 year old MIL who is off her rocker on pain killers (justifiably I should add) and reverts to the behavioir of an10 year old when she is. A mean one.

Half hour into this trip and already want cigarettes ...

You sound more like my gf with every post. She has to get patched up for every interaction with her family.

My FIL is driving and is just talking his crazy Christian theology.

They're pentecostal except in name.

My MIL from the back of the car: "do you think that line in the sky is Jesus smiling?"

Wife looks, "no that's a plane trail."

MIL: "I think it's Jesus smiling, he works in mysterious ways..."

My MIL is high af.

That calls for more than a nicotine patch. Probably have to go with liquored up to get through that.

20 minutes and I'm at wine time.
 
High payload bombers leave trails like that and can wipe out millions of people. Just sayin'.

That's why we have hotels, motels and airbnbs.
 
My dog has a recurrent UTI. She's about half way through her second course of antibiotics, and they're making her kind of sick...mostly lethargy and a complete lack of appetite. Now she's refusing to swallow them anymore and is refusing food. I know you can't stop antibiotics early but I have no idea what to do.
 
Wrap the pills in cheese or bacon?

5. Physically giving your dog a pill. Sometimes you don’t have time to go through the suggestions above, or perhaps you’ve tried them all and they haven’t worked. (Rare, but possible.) In addition, I like knowing how to get a pill down a dog without much stress; it seems like a good skill for any dog owner to have. The trick here is to understand that the muscles of a dog’s jaw are designed to press down, but not to pull the mouth open. That makes it easy to open a dog’s mouth if you know where to put your hands. I’ll summarize here, but refer you to a great photo series on Dr. Sophia Yin’s website that shows you exactly how to do it. You can make it relatively stress-free by conditioning the dog to expect a great treat when you grasp its upper jaw in one hand. Like the One Two Three Game, you hold the dog’s upper jaw with one hand, pull down the lower jaw with the other and pop a treat into the dog’s mouth. Let her eat it, repeat and then eventually do the same with the pill. Follow up with a real treat. Physically it is easier to do than describe in text, so check out the photos above to see where to place your hands and how to hold the treat/pill to get it into the dog’s mouth.

This might not be an effect of the ABs, but maybe of the worsening UTI. You might want to see your vet again.
