rolanniSo, after much back-and-forthing, a consultation with the specialist's office, and a Scrutinizing of the weather, we decided that the better part of valor is to go down to Portland tonight, after Steve finishes up his duties as Library Director, rather than try to play Thread the Snowstorm tomorrow early morning.
Steve located a hotel that advertised itself as pet-friendly, but turns out they only meant dogs, not cats.
Found another place, but they wanted fifty clams, non-refundable, on top of the room rent, for Hexampuma to stay. And they wouldn't even bring him a cot.
Third time, Steve located a hotel, and called. Yes, said the woman who answered the phone -- who identified herself as Veronica -- our pet fee is $10. Yes, we mean cats, too. Steve explained that we were bringing our cat to Portland for an operation at the vet-specialist, inquired of nearby restaurants, and said he'd make the reservations online. Except, online, the pet rate was $25. He called back.
Oh, yes, said Veronica, I was waiting for your reservation to come through to change the pet fee to $10. I'm glad you called back, because I was just talking to my sales manager, and we can offer you the local hospital rate, since your kitty is coming down for an operation.
Dern near half off the room.
Goddess bless.
