We had a good day with Moby and Justice yesterday though Justice keeps reinforcing that it is his house. When Moby sniffed at the stuffed dog toys, Justice grabbed them and stalked off. But generally they are getting along fine, taking walks together and eating side by side. Moby has established his sleep place on the bed in the office so I put a fuzzy blanket on it for him. He can look out the window from that bed too. This afternoon we will need to finalize how to send him north. It sounds like they want us to make the decision but I still need to know their preference. Assuming they want something reasonably priced and not in the cargo hold of a plane, I have a couple of decent priced options which would get Moby to them by the weekend. I found a pet transport site where you can solicit bids from pet transport services and also read reviews about them. There are a couple who have been doing it for a few years and have many highly rated reviews to choose from.
Other than that, I have water aerobics and DH has golf today. Deconstructed pizza for dinner tonight I think.
Have a singular Cinco de Mayo!

She was smart! Our neighbor was so panicked she could have believed him but I think the fact that he was difficult to understand made her pause even though call centers are often in other countries. Also the amount of money didn't sound right. If he had said an amount close to what it really costs and not in round numbers she might have given him her credit card information. Like $437.15 instead of $1000.

I liked that Conclave portrayed most of the Cardinals as having some good intentions and trying to navigate the temptations, instead of everyone just being evil power grabbers.
My parents got one of those calls, Grandma, Grandma, I need help. My Mom said it does make your heart jump, but then she reassured herself she knew where both grandsons were and she asked a couple of questions that the "grandson" couldn't answer and he hung up.
Crazy!!!!

It still is apparently! Except now they can spoof their voice so it sounds completely real: https://www.usatoday.com/story/money/2024/12/19/call-scammer s-using-ai/77075605007/
It is sad. Many years ago now some friends of my parents got scammed out of a lot of money with a supposed grandchild calling from a foreign country and in jail and needing money to return home. It was a big scam back in the day!

I know! There is actually a warning on the Breeze Airways site about this. You can only initiate a discussion via chat on their website or app. They will call you if necessary. But people post the numbers as Breeze Airways telephone numbers so they show up on a google search.

Yes the weight limit thing really got us because he does fit into a bag that goes under the seat. He was 6 pounds over and they had no carryons and 1 small checked bag (which I pointed out). The lady was trying to explain that it was to keep the plane from being overweight. Yeah right. I did find that United airlines has no weight limit just the size of the bag. I think that's what they had been doing previously but then decided to weigh them. Very unfair that the dog was able to fly down with them but not back. Really sweet pup though. We enjoyed him today on our walks. Tomorrow we need to decide on his route home. Our neighbors needed today to recoup after the stress. Such nice people.

How disgusting there are conmen (or women) out there that look for ways to scam scared and confused older people out of their money. Makes me so angry for them and so glad you were able to help in such a big way!
