Pst!

Setting: Early morning

Characters:
Kim: The Girl
Nina:16 year old Jack Russell. Tired.
Carrie Bradshaw: Fluffy at heart.  

Carrie Bradshaw: Pst. (beat) Pst!

Nina: (sleepily) THIS had better be good.

Carrie Bradshaw: You awake?

Nina: You woke me to ask me that?

Carrie Bradshaw: Yes.

Nina: (groggy) Yes. Now. Now. I'm awake.

Carrie Bradshaw: (relieved) Ok. Go back to sleep.

Nina:  What the--??

Carrie Bradshaw: You seemed out of it. I was worried.

Carrie licks Nina's face

Nina: Stop Fluffy! I'm over medicated. The Girl held back this morning to give me a break from all my meds.

Carrie Bradshaw: (curls up next to her friend) Ok. As long as you're awake.

Nina: I'm fine. (beat) Thanks.

Fade as the two snooze a bit...

Carrie Bradshaw: (opens one eye to peek at Nina) Pst. (beat) Pst!

Nina: Oh for the love of--!

Carrie Bradshaw: Just checking.

Fade as the two snooze....

*Please refer to the introduction post in this blog for explanation and inspiration behind this blog. Basically, as Nina gets older, she develops various medical problems; the more carefully I listen to what she tries to tell me, the more I can explain to the vet what is happening. And Carrie Bradshaw simply goes by her full name.
