Vet update

Dr. Mahly came by yesterday evening and tested the TEENSY bit of urine Ashley and I had managed to collect, and Reba DEFINITELY has a UTI. So I need to give her an Augmentin pill twice a day for fourteen days, and I have to make sure she has food on her stomach when she takes it because it makes dogs with normal stomachs feel ooky, so we can all imagine what it would do to Mademoiselle Sensitive Tummy. So last night she got rice and applesauce for supper with an Augmentin/peanut-butter dessert. Her Iams was available to her, but she decided to hold out for more rice and applesauce. This morning it was Iams, rice, and applesauce for breakfast with an Augmentin/acid-reducer/allergy-pill/peanut-butter dessert.

Then I headed to Ferrara supermarket, fought all the old people in the narrow aisles, and bought out all their Gerber turkey and rice dinners (all twelve of them), threw in a turkey and vegetable dinner and a chicken noodle dinner to give me seven days' worth of meals, grabbed a tub of plain yogurt to restart her natural flora and a tub of vanilla yogurt for myself, and came home to write on Naomi's now six-months-overdue birthday story.

I think I'm going to go start A Shadow of the Wind before I have to make Reba's supper and go to bed. That is, if I can get Brighid and Severus to give me a break until tomorrow. ::grin::
