We are flying next month. So who knows. I am just being a responsible parent. People need to be allowed to buy seats for dogs.

Update on Bishop's travels. He will have to go with Lufthansa as hold. He is too tall to he in the cabin. It's all my fault thinking of him as a small dog. Big love to me friend who volunteered to come pick us up from Frankfurt no questions asked. Will treasure that forever.

I had both shots. Not bad. I had them together with other shots, suffered 1 night, totally worth it. And you and Peanut need to do it.

My friend volunteered to come pick us up. Or we will fly together with my husband. I never ever drove in Europe. Just learned to drive in Vegas. It's not my thing. So yeah, never thought little Bishop is not that little after all.

Supposedly they are very strict with 8 kg policy and i do not wanna risk to be stranded. Maybe gonna go to Lufthansa counter tonight and see how i can charm them into saying that they do not weight dogs.

I have a huge issue. Bishop weights around 20 lb and none of the local European carriers are gonna accept him in the cabin. I will have to fly to Frankfurt with United and drive from home. Why aren't we treating dogs as people? Most of them are so much better than humans anyway.

You guys, i am signing a lease for an apartment in Vilnius. It's happening! I was saving the points to fly business class with Bishop so that people wouldn't bother us, but Polaris does not take dogs. Please share everything you know about flying with dogs internationally. Bishop is small, he goes with me in the cabin.

I do not know how stuff works here, but the army still can refuse all the unconstitutional orders. Not some random guys, all of them, en masse. But i have a very bad suspicion that most of them are enjoying this mess. And those "dedicated" people are pretty surprised that the face eating leopards are actually eating their faces. When we were fighting russians back in the 90ies, police, who was actually not Lithuanian but soviet, just crossed the line, at least those who were of Lithuanian origin, and joined the right side of the barricades. There was no Lithuanian army, but police disobeying russian commands made a lot of difference.

Went to see my eye doctor for a regular checkup yesterday. He is the coolest guy ever. Aside from being a doctor he plays drums in a jazz band. He dresses so cool, like a cool cat from the 60ies jazz band (he has been playing since then), and his whole practice has the same vibe. He is obviously on the right side of history too. I missed the memo that he hired a new doctor and now works just 3 days a week. Got pretty upset, but the new doctor is as cool as him. He is American Japanese. So we exchanged stories about family members sitting in russian and American gulags. It's so nice to go to a place and bitch freely about all this horror.

Today is 5 years since we got Bishop. His dad is traveling so we went out for celebratory dinner and shared beef carpaccio. I usually give him raw beef when i cook, but we eat it like once a year. He liked it.

So happy for you, and pretty jealous. Are you planning on asking for a political asylum?
