| I suppose first I shall begin with the visit to Bryce's. I've been friends with Bryce ever since I was a baby - my mom and his mom were roomates for a while and have been friends ever since Mom came to California from the east coast. A few years back, Kim (Bryce's mother) rented a room out to Steve, who, as it turns out, was gay. However over time I guess he became "bi" because he is kind of "together" with Kim at the moment, even though his old boyfriend for a while seemed very disappointed. I've meet that guy before. his name was Lenny and he was really funny, but that's beside the point. So yeah now Bryce, Kim, and Steve are all living together in their house. Bryce's real dad is from England, but he hardly ever gets to see him. Anyway, they have a dog named Heidi who just had puppies. All but one died. Her name ish Daisy-Belle, but they just call her daisy for short. She ish a Scotty dog and she's so cute! Thursday? Or was it Wednesday we went to see them. Bryce had died his hair darker for the summer. I wouldn't say it looked great on him, I think his eyebrows were too light. We ate lunch with them, and Denise, Bryce, and I started talking about stuff. He was the one who had got me started on System of a Down and all that metal stuff, so we talked about some of that - mostly System. Once we get over that awkward silence in the beginning of visits we can talk pretty freely about stuff. He's the kind of guy that's asked you if you have a boyfriend and gotten your cell phone number, but you can't really tell if he means anything by it. The puppy kept bouncing around and a few times Bryce practically sat on her. In an attempt to get my soda away from her so she wouldn't knock it over I ended up knocking it over instead, because I'm so graceful. Denise, Bryce, and I went for a walk around their block, which was nice. We started talking about times when we were little and would go on camping trips. I felt like I was such a horrible child. Oh dear I don't even want to remember some of those times. I spent the whole time hoping he wouldn't bring up something I would regret him ever bringing up. Luckily he didn't, though I bet he does remember some things. Embarrassing... Anyway, after the walk I asked if we could go see Heidi, their other dog, who was in a back room office thing. Bryce said sure so he started to go in the house and then Kim asked "are you going to his room?" God I hate it when people ask questions like that. Bryce said, "No!" lol. Kim just laughed and said "oh okay because you don't want to go in his room - it's a mess." At that point I remembered that Kim was the kind of laid back person that could care less if we went in his room "alone and unchaperoned" - I just automatically took it as if she was insinuating something. Actually I think I was worried more about what my mom thought when Kim asked the question. She's always worried about that kind of stuff. Last time we were over at his house Denise and I were both in Bryce's room, and he had these rubber gloves kind of hanging on this shelf-black-metal-cart-thing where he had his TV and video game stuff. When mom came in she asked "So... what are all these gloves for?" he didn't notice anything in her voice, but I did. It bothers me when you know your mom is assuming something dirty and then she asks about it. In the end he showed her how he cuts off the fingers of them and is able to make a shooting thingy using a soda bottle cap, a rubber band, and the finger of the glove. He could shoot beads and stuff pretty far with them. Twas cool. So yush we played with Heidi and sat in the backyard for the rest of the time until it was time to leave. Now for the camping trip. Well, on Friday we went up to Lake Tahoe to go camping. Our campsite was by Emerald Bay, but it was actually a 4.6 miles hike if you wanted to get there, and it was a ten minute drive just to get to the actual lake. Saturday morning we wanted to go to the lake for a swim. However, the dog wasn't allowed to go on the beach, so we took him back to the campsite and put him in his bed in the tent, because if we left him outside he'd go crazy with all the chipmunks and squirrels. So in the tent he went, and we made him as comfortable as possible and opened the windows to let air in if it got hot and everything. It wasn't like we wanted to leave him there, but we kind of had to. So we went out to the lake and went swimming and all that - it was really nice. That lake is so pretty - for a few hours. Then we went back. While walking up to the campsite the squirrels made that creepy laughing noise. They had made it when they chased eachother up a tree and left Scooter down below barking at them, and were doing it now, and I couldn't help but wonder why they were laughing at me. The first thing I went to check on was Scooter. But he wasn't in the tent. He was nowhere in the tent, his whole crate was gone. My first impression was that someone had stolen him, but we went down to a ranger thing and called the Visitor's Station. Someone seemed to know of a dog there, so we drove over. This lady came out and told us that Scooter was in the kennel across the street. He had been taken away because we had left him unattented. "Yes the tent was very hot and the dog was under stress and..." blah blah. When I put him in the tent, it wasn't hot at all, when we came back it wasn't hot at all, and he has terrier in him, he's been barking at the squirrels the whole time. So the barking she heard was most-likely him barking at the birds and squirrels in the tree because he could see them from the open window of the tent. What pissed me off more was that this guy went into our tent and took our dog without leaving a note or anything. Not to mention that comment about "the dog was under stress". That comment got my dad mad, but he didn't blow up at the lady or anything. he just brought it up afterwards and said it was like calling us bad parents, which is true. The thing that also bothers me is that you can't do anything as a family without leaving the dog unattended, and they don't have a place where we can drop him off at a kennel or anything (they said the one that they had taken him to was not for use). We're getting a citation for leaving the dog unattended now. It's dumb and it pisses me off. They kidnapped my dawgey. |

chuckitatthewall | 08-02-04 4:58pm That thing about the dog is really stupid. Once we left our old dog, Gretchen, in the van for about 10 minutes when we went to longs and when we came out there some animal lady there and she started to yell at us. It wasn't even a hot day.. |
