    Air Canada vs. Jacob

    I flew my dog from LAX to YYZ yesterday on AIR CANADA and I hope this never happens to anyone else. Don’t forget I had to pay $150 to fly my pet. When I got to the counter they told me that it’s summer embargo (it’s not) and after me explaining the procedure to them, they THEN processed the reservations for him.

    This was my dog on Friday at Long Beach
    This is my dog getting on LAX on the Air Canada flight.

    They then got me off the plane and said the kennel opened and my dog is running on the runway where the planes are and I have to help them find him. (!!!!!) and we do find him and of course had to wait for a flight 5 hours later. They upgrade my seat and put plastic cable ties onto the doors of the kennel to secure it. (I notice that one of the metal locking rods were bent and said something) They told me to repair it and send them the receipt to be reimbursed. and they put 6 cable ties around the edges of the cage. We fly to Toronto. They tell me he will be priority baggage (in cargo) and will come out first before baggage. I get there and ask where can I find my dog? They said there is a problem, he is running loose and we have to find him.
    The front of his cage is totally broken (the bent rod was BENT to a U shape and broken OFF) and there were only 2 plastic TIES and my dogs face was bleeding????

    ARE YOU effing kidding me?????


    broken kennel

    Of course Air Canada in YYZ is saying its the fault of LAX. but this is absolutely unacceptable and i had flown before with American Airlines and had NO PROBLEMS. This is really an unfortunate incident and I am going to file a formal complaint to Air Canada tomorrow.

    Any ADVICE???

    Vermont Love


    In partnership with Freedom to Marry we are gathered here to celebrate Vermont and all the other great states where loving couples of all kinds are free to marry legally. Ben & Jerry’s have ceremoniously dubbed their iconic flavor, Chubby Hubby to Hubby Hubby in support, and to raise awareness of the importance of marriage equality.

    Love is love. If you live in Vermont, or visiting, you’re invited to celebrate the pride-filled occasion with an all naturally fabulous union of Peanut Butter Cookie Dough ice cream, fudge and pretzels.

    The name change is only for Vermont, everywhere else, it’s still Chubby Hubby 🙂

    Cocaine Tourism???

    “Tonight we have two types of cocaine; normal for 100 Bolivianos a gram, and strong cocaine for 150 [Bolivianos] a gram.” – Waiter taking orders at Route 36. La Paz, Bolivia.

    “There is more interest and and investment in purifying coca paste here and exporting it, rather than sending it to Colombia for purification.” Oscar Nina, Bolivia’s top anti-drug official
    I don’t even know why I was surprised when I heard about this place. But it’s still kinda crazy that there’s actually a cocaine lounge out there… several cocaine lounges. I mean sure I’ve heard about places where you can get your vape on but Cocaine??? *not judging anyone btw lol*
    La Paz, Bolivia is home to the most famous bar in all of South America: Route 36, the world’s first cocaine lounge. Described as a “moveable feast”, Route 36 is known to move all over the place; “One day it is in one zone and then it pops up in another area”. And is mostly favored mostly by the backpacker crowd.
    They say the birth of the new trend of “Cocaine Tourism” stems from “…a combination of Bolivia’s notoriously corrupt public officials, the chaotic “anything goes” attitude of La Paz, and the national example of President Evo Morales.” (Who himself is a Coca grower! I mean the President’s doing it! So…)

    Even though Cocaine is illegal in Bolivia, Route 36 is rapidly becoming an essential spot for thousands of tourists from all over the world. At €15 a gram, Bolivia’s cocaine is famous for it’s availability, price, and purity. I can see why people would enjoy this kinda thing, as people love getting high whether it’s with alcohol/marijuana/etc, but are we forgetting that cocaine torches your brain??? It’s highly addictive, destructive and easy to abuse… soooo??? It’s like taking a drug to relieve heartburn, but it’ll also give you gas, bloating, a rash, head aches… Get my drift? I don’t know, I guess people are just “”living life,” *blank stare, has anyone seen “Crackheads Gone Wild?” Yeah. turns to walk away, still not convinced* lol

    “Stopping cocaine tourism in La Paz could be as difficult as keeping Americans from drinking during prohibition.”
    “Everyone knows about this place,” says Jonas, a backpacker who arrived two days earlier. “My mate came to Bolivia last year and he said, ‘Route 36 is the best lounge in all of South America.'” Crazeeeee!
    *hugs & kisses*
