q: how many pills can one puppy take?

a: as many as it takes her to get well, dammit! yep, it's another bladder infection. the culture, i predict, will come back positive - vet has started pup on antibiotics and we'll change if the culture shows we should, but at least now she's on the way back to feeling better. so that's, what, 4 pills a day, plus one weekly, plus a little pred to help her heal and deal with the sick-stress. not too bad, really, meds-wise.

the worst moment of her being sick is when she doesn't want to play. even when i dance around the dining room table squeaking a toy, mock-screaming "aaaaahhhh!!!" which is, i'm sure, a sight to behold. she could only resist that if she really feels crappy. which she did/does.

the antibiotics should kick in tonight, and she'll feel better tomorrow or thursday. bless her furry little heart.

in other news, i have begun teaching! i share a class of Voice and Movement for the Actor - i take the Movement part, fridays and every other wednesday. a small class, which i'm working on not taking personally, and diverse. as always, i feel inadequate, and i work really hard to fill the class to the top with useful info, stuff they can take and apply outside of class.

i do wish i could teach full time, and maybe someday i will. my foot is in the door, anyway. such a wonderful, bright spot in my day OUT of my cubical!
