So i got into an argument with my parents over sleeping in late, which is something i do over the summer, so i left in a huff to go take care of the neighbors dog, whom i was taking care of while they were on vacation. I get to the house, and there's dog s*** all over the cage. So i take the cage out and clean it while the dog hangs out in the front yard, and come back in and put the cage back, and as i'm going out to get the dog, i grab the inside door handle... and it falls off. Completely. So i turn some of the internal mechanisms and open the door, go outside and unhook the chain, and try to bring the dog back in. The door wont open, because the inside handle is missing. So i go around back to the other door, and manage to get inside. I show the dog tothe newly cleaned cage and tell her to go in. She doesn't. I try to push her in from behind, she turns around and barks at me. So i grab a treat and poke it between the bars of the cage. The sneeky b*****d goes halfway in, grabs the treat, and backs out before i can shut the cage door. So i get really p****d and call my dad over from my house, so he can fix the door and help me with the dog. As i open the other door to let him in, the dog charges out of the house and takes off. Dad caught him down the street, and got him into the cage in thirty seconds flat. He then fixed the door with barely any effort.

In conclusion... my karma really sucks right now.

karma isn't real

you were just having a bit of bad luck

Wow that's a bit pants, Roxas! You need to punch something!

In order of authority, the dog thinks your Dad is #1, the dog is #2, and you are #3. That's probably because of your relationship with your dad, which is appropriate. But the dog thinks you're a puppy. No kidding. My dog thought the same thing, and I reinforced it, without realizing. There are books on fixing that situation but basically it comes down to being bloody rude. Never look at the dog but if you do make eye contact, you must win the staring contest. Weird doggy stuff like that.

Keep a 6' leash on the dog at all times, let him drag it around, it helps you catch him, you can stomp on it.

I hope the rest of your day is much better!

About sleeping late? I used to have those arguments with my Mom. She believed it was a mortal sin. I'm curious to know why your parents disapprove of sleeping in?

Your mum sounds like mine. She believes a lot of things are a mortal sin. Like bathing every day. or going on holiday more than once a year. You can never guess what she'll disapprove of. She's an anankastic personality.

Oh no, Scrulie, you must correct your mum! Mine says that *not* bathing twice a day is a mortal sin.

Wow, that is not good!

I hope things improve with you soon!

You can try correcting my mum, if you dare!! !!

Well, maybe because my usual get-up time in the summer is 1200 hours. And i go to bed at 0100 hours. I mean, its the summer! its not like im doing anything the next day...

Karma does mean lot of bad luck.

Hmm that must've sucked, but look on the bright side. At least it made your life a bit more exciting for one day.

The thing is, what's so wonderful about the morning hours that we should be awake for? Whereas the night hours are so delightful, peaceful, quiet.
