But I have to ask: did they get a usable urine sample off the carpeting?
They did! Dad says they got a few drops to put under a microscope. They said it was full of bacteria, but I don't know how much of that was from her or from the carpet! The reason we took her in was I noticed drops of blood on the pavement when we were walking, after she'd peed, so I'm sure blood in the urine is a decent enough reason to presume UTI. They did an X-ray to clear her of kidney stones or something more serious, so we covered the bases.
I once put in baking soda instead of baking powder for some biscuits (or was it the other way around? You see why I have this problem)
Baking powder is usually what you put in biscuits, if you're referring to scones. I think you double the powder to replace soda, but you can't replace powder with soda, if I recall correctly. Because of...like...science? Baking powder is baking soda + cream of tartar, so you can substitute both of those if you don't have baking powder.
I'm usually pretty good in the baking department, but the baking soda box looked just like the cornstarch box, and we for some reason we have to two different brands of baking soda in the cupboard, so it never occurred to me that the box that looked like cornstarch would be baking soda when we had another box of it.
I'm attempting another round of pudding right now. Hopefully this one works out!
