    That's so wonderful to hear :) The uncertainty must be so difficult for you, but dogs are oblivious to all that which is a blessing in a way.

    Glad to hear that Moo the Merciless is doing this HER way, thank-you-very-much.
    She's going to make her own decisions, that's good.
    Go girl.

    So proud of her I cooked boiled egg white fish and served it all warm with some wet food. She ate it all. My friend was laughing at me because it was a right mixture but I hoped Moo would eat some of it. That's the most she had for days. Such a good little dog

    Up and down good days and bad. Mobility is getting less, tiredness is worse cough and swallowing is worse. She had a soft choke cough which the vet worries about. Some days she can't eat but Im cooking all her food now so giving warm delicacies seems to help every meal is a victory if she eats. The good points are she loves some foods and the have a lot of moisture in them so she is well hydrated. She went out for a walk it was sunny and mild and she managed well out of puff tired but happy
    Some days she can't eat and it's hard. I think do I get he vet then she eats her tea. It's constant monitoring,. I've been up til 3am some nights just to keep an eye on her. She barks on a good day and is quiet on a bad. She still runs up the garden to bark at the dog she hates next door. She's still cheeky endering and totally with it it's just were I draw the line at her health issues. Hope you and your boy are ok xx

    She who must he obeyed seems to have got a second wind. The drugs are out of her system and everything has settled down. She is still in pain/stiff still having breathing problems still occasionally sick,but she seems a lot better and happier. She is a lot brighter and is eating much better. She is getting warm food every meal which seems to encourage her appetite but she will only eat certain things some textures and smells sicken her. I'm getting used to this and finding ways to manage her. She enjoys a good massage loves egg and chips and is keen to defend her home from the dog next door who she hates. I happy with her quality of life at the moment.
