jedi is coughing and spitting up and now vomiting so we have to go back to the vet again and this time get shots. he’ll be okay but this is traumatic on both of us — he coughs so deeply, with barely a moment’s rest between attacks, and now he’s probably dehydrated despite his drinking extra water. and i’ve cleaned the floor so many times it’s probably the shiniest it’s been since it was built in 1909 — if i were home in LA i could confine him to the ktichen and lay down a bunch of dog towels, but i’m in the rental in SF and lacking resources - maybe after the vet, the shot will knock him out for a while and i can go buy cheap towels. poor jedi. poor me. our nerves are shot. almost 6 years together and he’s never been sick, although he’s had one injury that required six months of biweekly physical therapy to correct … (he’s definitely an LA dog after that!) i hate seeing him in pain. poor doggie.
