sometimes, friends can't let friends get tacky gifts.
well, i guess they CAN...but i'm still gonna talk about you when you post it on facebook like it's such a nice thing.

Um, ick. But if I received those, I would just smile and say thank you. what else can you say?
Not to brag, but for the last two valentine's days BF has gotten me a large arrangement of flowers, with the variety of flowers he picked out himself. This past v-day he even arranged them himself!
i texted DH and told him while i did give him crap about not getting me flowers for a few years...i'd rather not get any than ugly ones
and he said he just doesn't get them because he figures i'd rather have actual presents.

Does this friend know about what you're going through right now? If you can, just explain the situation to him/her as soon as possible so they can make other arrangements. You have to put yourself first,and any decent friend that cares about you will understand.
ETA - if you truly feel guilty over it, offer to pay for the dog's boarding.
i find flowers kind of a boring way to show someone you love them. EVERYONE (well, not everyone but you know what i mean) gives flowers. i think it's like the easy way out. while i enjoy gifts, i dont expect someone to spend money. i'd much rather have a really sentimental letter than flowers. i always tell dh not to get them but he picks them up b/c he seems to think i'm just "testing" him

ITA, please talk to them about it ASAP. All you have to say is that you're under doctor's orders to take it easy without going into any detail. Definitely don't board their dog without their permission though.
I just can't do that to her. She has been going through some really tough times also and I can't back out on her. Her and her daughter really need this vacation (she's going to Disney with my other friend whose husband was shot in afghanistan) and I want it to be stress free for them. We'll find a way to manage having both dogs. They've spent a lot of time together and get a long well it's just the logistics of having two dogs in the house that worries me. My H is a superH and he'll handle any problems that might come up.
We trade off sitting duties with some of our friends as well, and some dogs are definitely easier than others. I understand not wanting to back out on her. Is her dog crate trained? Do you have a spare bedroom or bathroom? We have two dogs, so we always make sure that when we dog sit we allow the other dog to have its own space (whether it's crate time or time in a room). I think it's great that you're allowing them to go stress free on their vacation cause it sounds like they really need it, but make sure to take care of yourself too!
