Thanks AM, and I'd really like to think so, but I do know the difference, and I wouldn't mind her trying it on if she was well, but she wasn't, you know how only YOU know your dogs, especially me, when I'm with them 24/7 it's hard not to know when they're feeling rubbish and I can assure you Zena was truly in a very poor way, and I really needed her to eat to rebuild all her strength.

Lol hiya mate, sorry if I kept you up all night, and now that I have some time, dare I say it, to MYSELF, I will ring ya thing week and see what's been going on your end, coz it sounds like you've been having a pretty rough time too.xxx
Lol at you there Emma, yes, Georgie's given up with his street cred after having to wear a lime green t-shirt and then black boots, and I soooo wish I'd taken a piccy of him in that t-shirt coz he looked like a big gorilla striding up the road with all his thick fur sticking out of the top of his legs, me and my friend were cracked up!!!!
NOW, today is a different story, a very different story! I'm pleased to report, not only did she eat and stay hyper all evening, but it continued this morning, and when I came downstairs, and she greeted me in her usual overexhuberant style, I just KNEW she was fine!!!! Oh, what a relief!! I had a normal poo outside from 2.00 am. and then a pile of porridge, but hey, it'll work itself out I'm sure. Went for a lovely walk, and I let her offlead, but there were so many dogs about wanting to play with her, that I had to keep sticking her back on it and stop her playing with them, shame I know, but I have to be on the safe side for the time being.
Got home, and she's been helping her dad with the outside Christmas lights, she's pestered me constantly with her ball, she's been racing between the pair of us coz I was inside, he was outside, and she just hasn't stopped, and Dave just commented "looks like she's being back to a pain in the butt" so of course I replied "yes, and I love it"!!!!!
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh, we're gonna be just fine now I think!
Oh, and whilst I'm at it, when she sat there looking at me this morning, the very first thing I noticed, is how THIN the top of her mouth either side has gone now!!! So it WAS swollen, especially on the left side with that big flabby bit hanging down interferring with her teeth when she was eating, but when you're constantly, constantly checking around there, you get to thinking you're going mad and it should be like that, but having seen her face this morning, I can tell you, it has all gone down to normal! She's eaten almost a whole cup of kibble in her big ball this morning, she is ravenously hungry, but I daren't overdo it on the food front, it's not good on her digestive system if there's still a slight problem in there, but at least she's willingly eating plain old kibble without having to be tempted, so I cannot wish for more!
OMG, she's just retired to her bed in here with me, but it's a different kind of sleeping than she was doing last week, not curled up in a tight ball, just all sprawled out zapping a few zeds until mummy gets up again to play! Maybe I can do some Christmas shopping next week then????!!!
Thanks again to each and everyone of you, not only for your lovely messages of concern and support and ideas, but also for helping me keep my chin up through such a worrying time, coz it really, really was the worst I've had for a very long time I can tell you that!xxxxxxxx
