Turn Left at the First Hallway...

Characters: 
Kim: The girl
Carrie Bradshaw: Bichon frise/poodle mix. 6 years old. Rather "Fluffy." 
Nina: 16 year old Jack Russell. Rather senile.

Setting: During the Dodger game on TV. 


Kim and dogs watching game on TV...

Nina: (tries to hop off couch, fumbles a bit) Dodgers are losing. I'll be in the backroom if you need me.

Nina ambles off...

Carrie Bradshaw: (stays on couch) Um, um... jack russell? The back room is THAT way.

Nina: (stops; looks around) Where's the hallway? (turns to look at Kim) Where'd you put the hallway?(looks around) I could have sworn it was here earlier.

Carrie Bradshaw: (looks at Kim) She's gone to"the Nile"again.

Kim: (laughs; gets up off couch and turns Nina to face the right direction.) There, you little senile old thing. That way.

Nina: (seems relieved) Thanks. (stops again; turns to look at Kim) Wait- where?

Kim: Would you rather stay here on the couch? (starts to pick up Nina)

Nina: (squirming) Put me down this instant!

Kim: (sigh; replaced Nina facing the right direction again) There.

Nina: (relieved, toddles off to the back room) Good grief. Stop and ask directions, you get accosted around here.

Nina stops at the end of hallway once more-

Nina: Wait- Where am I?

Kim and Carrie Bradshaw sigh....Nina simply decides to sit where she is at....

Fade as Nina stays at the end of hallways, deciding which route to take while Kim and Carrie Bradshaw watch the end of the game on TV....

*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. Or I simply try and figure out what she is trying to tell me, since that is what any pet deserves. And Carrie Bradshaw simply goes by her full name.
