Doggy trouble
Ok, for those who don't know I'm in a long term relationship, hence only see my g/f quite rarely, every few weeks.
Haven't seen her for a few now, and have been looking forward to going up to her uni during my half term and seeing her for a week.
But my sister is at uni, my dad and step-mum are in Italy, and my half sister is in Sri Lanka over half term.
My dog doesn't go to kennels, when she was a puppy she was traumatised for about a month afterwards when she came back from one. She doesn't go in cars, to other peoples houses, etc, so somebody really needs to look after her.
We don't know the neighbours, so can't ask them. My grandmums also away, we have no friends who it'd be reasonable to ask to look after a dog.
My mum honed me earlier, and we talked about it, and she kindly offered to look after her, and we were just talking about the possibility of it, when my dad (who apparently listens to my conversations?) burst in and angrily told me that my mum would NOT be allowed in this house. (There's a restraining order against her being here, but she's really not any trouble these days.)
I know there's little other solutions, but I can't help but feel that it's a bit unfair that I'm being asked to dog sit when everybody else gets their holidays. Though Durham doesn't sound as exciting as Sri Lanka or Italy it means as much to me as their holidays do to them, as it's the only opportunity to see my g/f for a long time, maybe until Christmas.
My dad and step-mum don't leave right away though, they're only leaving on Wednesday. So I will be in durham from Saturday - Wednesday, but it's a very long journey just for a few days, and I was really hoping for the whole week.
It also means that Tess (our dog) would only need looking after for a couple of nights, making the offer of my mum more reasonable, but it seems to be totally out of the question.
I know it's not the biggest of problems, but I was wondering if anyone could come up with possible advice/ ideas. It just seems stupid to miss out on seeing Hannah for a dog! My dads also angry at me now for even discussing my mum coming here, he keeps glaring in at me.

if i were you i'd re-write the start of the 4th paragraph as it sounds like your gf is in fact the dog.

The bit about kennels?
Anne*UK*06
Couldn't your gf come to your place with you so that yu'd be looking after Tess together? I have a dog myself and I live alone with him so I know how difficult it can be to find solutions for when you're away...
Oh yeah, forgot to mention, that's not possible 'cos on some of the days she has to do stuff which counts towards her final uni mark.
Fine, owing to the cretinous nature of people on this forum I've made it clear that a dog goes to a kennel instead of a person. 
Anne*UK*06
And I assume you couldn't take the dog to your friend's place as she lives in halls?
Private house (year 2) - read "she (dog) doesn't travel."
Your dad sounds like a bit of an arsehole (judgemental, considering the fact that I dont know the history, but you know... I do understand the general scenario as I live in this kind of circumstance - parents who dont get along). I think you could potentially lie about it, but that might be asking your mum to risk things a bit (she might be seen by a neighbour or something)... Though Im not sure really what your dad could do about that even if he did find out-you could just pretend you're gonna stay there yourself or whatever.
I think its an awkward situation, but I think if there are no options, and you're not the gambling sort, you may just have to succumb to the situation and hold off seeing your girlfriend till xmas. But to be honest, you can look forward to an xmas break full of stuff to talk about with her, and you will probably enjoy it that little bit more for having had to wait.
Do what you feel you have to, I guess!

Well firstly my mums a heavy smoker, and my dads on red alert about smoking, he forbids my half sister to smoke in the house, and she's 34. So he'd know she'd been here.
More importantly, he wouldn't just leave me to book the tickets without nosing around, and checking when return dates etc are, and he'd wonder why I'm due back on the Sunday instead of Wednesday.
I wont be with her for all of X-mas either, my dad wouldn't let me ( ) though this time it's a more reasonable reason - I have January exams to revise for.

Yeah, just ask your mom to risk things ... Your dad might never find out. Or do you have frineds living in that town? Why not ask them to stay with your dog?
I don't think I can think of anyone, besides my mums mum, who'd do it, and she's busy.
My dads just come in and said maybe his mum (my other grandmum), the reason I never even suggested her though is that's she's a selfish old tory who hates dogs, and she'd never comes all the way over here to get up early to feed her and clean up her poopie. (Which she's now doing regularly, making me furthur resent the dog.)
I guess this isn't a huge deal or anything.
Okay final solution is to pay one of the people who it might be unreasonable to ask such a favour from in this case, so they can come round and feed the dog, and let it outside etc.. Its the only viable solution, they just need to be sufficiently trustworthy.
And once again with the judgement, but your dad does seem to have something of an iron-fist.

My dads an ex solicitor, what can I say.
I might pay off a friend from my school to do it actually, not sure my dad would really trust them to, but she'd only need feeding Thursday, Friday, Saturday (she's only fed once a day since she's overweight.)
Well, thanks for the idea.
RobbieC
Isnt the dog yours?? I would be quite sad if my owner resented me
Well, the whole families.
I never wanted her though, the girls did.
