alonewiththemoonI just got an ad in my inbox from a major belly dance vendor, and one of the items they are advertising is a dancing horse costume! I want one! Any two people want to wear the costume and dance with me? how can you resist this description:
"Dancing horses are of major importance in the equestrian traditions of Egypt. The dancing horses are known for their aptitude for performing to the tunes of the mizmar baladi and no troupe would be complete without the folkloric Arab Horse costume of Egypt. This costume is a two person ensemble complete with padded head, visual outlet hole, holding bars for front partner, back strip for second partner, and carry bag for easy pack up and carry. The paraphernalia of the horse is adorned with colorful tassels as well as ropes, a blanket, and harem pants with footies for both partners. The facial composition is pleasant and enjoyed by all. SaftiCraft is proud to produce such fine quality and design for your folk performance that mimics these beautiful Arab horses."
Well, a girl can dream, anyway.
Seti seems much better today. Last night he seemed exhausted but comfortable, and overnight he ate a half day's worth of kibble. His breathing is still a bit wet but all other systems are normal. The more I think about it, the more I think it was a classic allergic reaction, with a swollen throat and the body trying to expel the allergen as quickly as possible. It was reminiscent of when Pan had a severe reaction to his distemper shot, and the way Seti was unable to stay still reminds me of how my asthma attacks feel, I always feel compelled to keep moving as though I can somehow walk away from my swollen throat. I'm even more sure that it was chocolate cake. Brie cheese is also a possibility, but Seti is such a carb fiend that I have no doubt at all that he would eat cake crumbs if he found them. Some ferrets tolerate chocolate, Amelia once ate a semi-sweet chocolate chip with no ill effects, but some react strongly to it and it looks like Seti would be one of the latter. We will never forget to sweep up after a dinner party before letting him out ever again. I had forgotten just how messy an eater my father-in-law is, like three-year-old messy. I swear the next family gathering he gets a drop cloth. Anyway Seti improved a lot and I feel much better about him. In retrospect maybe we should have brought him to the vet. He does have an appointment next Saturday so I can talk to Dr. G about it then and find out what to do if it ever happens again.
Chiropractor appointment today, yay! I need it.

Now I'm imagining this line on my dancing resume...
"Performed as horse's ass in folkloric expo."
