First of all big thanks to everyone sending us "get well" wishes and the first Christmas cards. It's nice to know that there are so many friends who think of Xsara and wish her all the best. We really appreciate the support!
Our girl seems to feel fine most of the time, but mornings are still a bit of a problem. She wakes up at 5 a.m. feeling sick, throws up a little bit of gall and goes back to sleep for a couple of hours. She then wakes up again at 7 a.m. feeling great. This started two days after we switched to soaked kibbles, so our vet says it's most likely related to the change in diet. Which means we're back to cooking. I normally never cook for myself, I always make things explode or I hurt myself in the process, so it's really best for everyone if I stay far away from the kitchen. I even managed to cut myself with cheese two times (no knife, just cheese), so you can see it's clearly not the best idea for me to cook. But somehow I never mess up when I cook for Xsara (OK, maybe I got a little burn a couple of times, but nothing big). And to be honest, I like cooking for her. It's something I can actively do to make her feel better, so it's comforting for me as well. Being such a nice little girl as she is, Xsara loves to help out in the kitchen. As you can see, her job is to do the dishes.

Cheese should have a warning label on it! Glad Xsara is finally on the road to recovery and you've gotten her straightened out.
Merry Christmas!

I get a Pepsid and a little snack before bed. I throw up bile if my tummy is too empty. Maybe try giving Xsara a couple treats or part of her dinner right at bedtime? It does wonders for me.
Play bows,

Love the "just awake" shot! We do the dishes here too, Rosie actually gets IN the dishwaher to lick them clean! Hope the sickness goes soon :o~

Hey Xsara ... don't mean to worry your mum but I never went back onto processed dog food. I'm too well on the BARF-type of diet. (I help out with the washing up too. Put a pic on my blog to show you.) xJake
I am so happy to know she is doing much better!
Homemade food is great!
Take care
Kisses and hugs

How on earth do you cut yourself on cheese!? :)
I'm pleased to hear that things are continuing to improve.
Have a great Christmas!

Good to hear that Xsara's health continues to improve. Hope she is completely better very soon. Dixie sometimes throws up in the morning due to an empty stomach. J&D are also good at doing the dishes!
J&D's mum
I'm very glad you're doing better! I agree, a little something before bed might help.. Mom gives us a couple of dog cookies at bedtime but that's just our normal bedtime routine.
Love
Rudy
