Charge for Everything, Liar!!
I have a new Santa Cruz Pet Resort story. Last Saturday I took Toby in to drop him off. The girls there were nice as usual, no owner, all was well. As I'm getting him checked in I notice the reservation clipboard on the desk. It has the names of the dogs, breed and special instructions. I was the last person to check in so my lines weren't crossed out yet.
I see: Toby - Lhasa Apso
Special Instructions: CHARGE FOR EVERYTHING, LIAR!!
What the...?? I'm pretty disturbed at this point. I check Toby in and then walk out a bit dumbfounded. I call Chris and tell him the story. He said that he'd probably say something so I turn around and go back in there. I ask the girl why the sheet says that. She said she hadn't read it and had no idea. I explain to her that I got into it with Kevin the owner the previous weekend and why me might type such a rude thing into the computer. She suggested I talk to his wife, the co-owner when I pick Toby up. I say fine.
Today I pick up Toby. I talk to the wife. She looks in the computer and looks shocked. Whatever. She says that her husband and her are always having to deal with people dropping their pets off at all hours and expecting them to deal with it without it costing them. She explains this for awhile, apologizes profusely and says she'll speak to her husband. Okay I feel a TAD better. I did want SOMEONE to apologize that's for sure. The truth of the matter is I like this place. The girls who work here are nice. Toby seems to have a lot of fun there and they are the cheapest deal anywhere around. So I wasn't ready to run my business elsewhere if you know what I mean.
Mary at Small Dog House Boarding is my absolute fave though. She takes great care of the dogs and has a nice house in Belmont. The only problem for me is she's really out of the way and costs $25 a night versus the $18 a night I pay in Santa Cruz. Anyway, I guess I'm taking Toby back to Santa Cruz Pet Resort. What a hassle though. People make me nuts. Particularly the people in Santa Cruz. I'm not sure what it is but they tend to be ruder over there than most other places. I think it's the ME FIRST attitude there that makes me nuts.
On another note I saw "Le Divorce" this weekend with my friend Cristy. Nice film. I enjoyed it and would probably see it again on DVD. I liked the parisian scenery. It made me miss being in Paris. I can't wait to go back next year when the weather is cooler and I can stay a bit longer. Anyway, some of the jokes about the French were pretty right on. Go check it out at a matinee. I'ts fun.
Also, I'll be at Fischerspooner next Monday. That promises to be an excellent show. I'll be accompanied by my lovely friend Amrah who I haven't seen in awhile. I'm looking forward to it. Next week will be particularly busy for me since I'll be going to Fischerspooner on Monday, Beg. Dog Training on Tuesday, and French class on Wednesday. The week after I'll be starting Yoga on Mondays. I can't remember the last time I had a schedule like that. It's kinda nice!
