Max is all better

Thanks for everyone’s well wishes and thoughts and prayers; here at cosmicbuddha.com we welcome positive energy of all denominations…
As special thanks, I present all of you with this very, very special video:

If you are a Nagi Noda fan, you know this is one of her best-known pieces of work. The description on the YouTube page is:

It’s a word-for-word parody of Susan Powter’s first workout video, featuring poodles and a crazy poodle-woman. Absolutely surreal. It was made by Nagi Noda for Panasonic. It was part of 10 films they made for the 2004 Athens Olympics.

Excellent.
UPDATE: Here’s the wikipedia article for this vid: LINK

Max has been having a rough week

It seems he had a bad reaction to an MMR vaccine two weekends ago. It caused a fever five days or so after the shot and now he’s broken out in a rash all over his torso… We are monitoring him closely, and he’s been in an understandably grumpy mood for the past five days or so.
Was it a hot shot? Or just a bad reaction?
There’s no way to tell. We took every precaution possible, but it still AAAAAAAARRRRGH… worrying about him drives us crazy.
Everything’s all right for now though, I think.
