How nice, Marydoll. Thanks.
My dog started long bouts of retching and coughing yesterday evening. I was worried all night although she did sleep well, and is out barking squirrels this morning in the garden. She is not suffering from shock but can only eat a little cream of chicken soup , can hardly manage her dental chew which she loves.
Not so bad coughing this AM.Shorter bouts and less severe.
I rang the vet nurse for advice and she said to bring the dog tomorrow if not any better but will, prob be OK, Very satisfactory call with efficient vet nurse.

Managed to get 11 month old GC to sleep on my lap despite the 5 yr old playing on my old iPad and watching a Muppet Film at high volume.
That’s definitely a positive 
That's a positive then, Chewy! 
Ah, that's a nice start to the day Marydoll. Apart from seeing my neighbour over the garden fence and having a quick natter, I've not spoken to anyone else today but.... I changed the bed linen this morning and found that pair of angora socks that have been missing for a week, tucked up inside the duvet cover!
Reading throught the threads this morning made me wonder if I should start a chatty thread, one that hopefully everyone could join in if they wished to do so.
As the Good Morningers know, after a lot of hassle with a blocked credit card, ( not me fault!), I bought a Santa lantern from Dobbies in their sale to replace one that I had, which had died.
When Santa arrived, he was leaning drunkenly against the glass, having had too much sherry on his rounds. There was no way I could fix it, as the unit was sealed.
I phoned Dobbies' customer service and got a very helpful young man, who mistakenly thought my name was Lady Marydoll I could visualise him bowing! I was going to wait to tell you all later that I have been given a seat in the House of Lords in the New Year's Honours list 
We had a good laugh, when I tried to spell my email address using the phonetic alphabet, because I was hoarse and he was having difficulty with my Glasgow accent.
Anyway, I got a full refund without any hassle and the added bonus, I get to keep Santa!! 
That simple exchange has really cheered me up. It may have started out with a simple request for a refund I didn't need to even ask in the end, but it became a social interaction with someone other than my DH.
I love him dearly, but oh I do need some other company! I'm now waiting to waylay the postman for a chat!
