    Moo's an excellent role model for young girls everywhere :D (egads, not the spew-eating, the sassy doing what she wants-ing!)

    The nice thing is I think we have a different depth of relationship. It's not just master and servant she lets me cuddle get and make a fuss if her. She's still cheery and chirpy and so cheeky. I think I will miss her impish face peeping round a corner the most. You look at her and just think that dogs a little devil. It's the intelligence and calculation of the gaze. It's always been there you know she's thinking yep it's me I rule.:D

    This dog has been with me through the good times and the bad. She's been so clever at adapting and doing well in any situation. I can take her anywhere do anything with her and she just does it. She's one of the most intelligent dogs I've ever had its not just that she's bright it's her capacity to look at a situation a deal with it. She trusts me and will do anything I ask with such calm compitance. She's wasted on me really she could have done anything. I took her to a trainer once. She thought she was dealing with an naughty dog, but she just turned to me and said she's so responsive she seemed shocked Moo is never what you expect. After doing a few exercises she gave her back too me. Moo jumped in the air and spun in to a sit behind me and i swear she licked her tongue out at the trainer. The trainer just laughed and said shes your dog for sure.thats the weird thing about her she shows no affection no real interest but she wants to be with me and we have gone everywhere together for such a long time.

    I just love how you describe dear Moo, @SwampDonkey, she is for sure one of the forum's great personalities, the matriarch of the great forum cyber pack!:D

    Not a good day at all. She's been very upset today. She's been visiting but she was left at my mum's for a rest. She goes there all the time and loves a little rest on a nice bed normally. I'd been gone for an hour and she was so upset and crazy to see me. I felt terrible she was just strange. I wouldn't even leave her with OH to walk Rory she was just too well sensitive. She started vomiting when we got home and coughing. Her gums look pale. Im worried and Oh keeps looking at me and doing oh no face the because he knows it might be doggy ER if she doesn't improve. I'll just keep an eye on her for a bit the vomiting has stopped and the coughs a bit better. Fingers crossed please :)
