You know, when I lie, I feel a tension around my eyes, and the urge to not look the other person in the eyes, and I feel myself smiling in spite of myself.

Nailed it. That hair is fried. She should get extensions or something.

You mentioned anger in another post. If I applied the feeling to you erroneously I apologize. But if your biggest beef is that some pissed off woman is laughing at you somewhere, you’ll have to excuse my not going into a tailspin about it.

When my girl started refusing food, I did the same thing - I thought she was tired of the kibbles, or that she wanted some other protein.

My co-worker, who is a lovely, funny person, eats with his mouth open. Smack smack slurp slurp. I can’t deal with it.

My dog who passed away last year was named Zoe and she was a stone cold thug too :) Sending you good vibes. I have rescued several senior dogs, so I have spent my share of time, energy and money on vets and specialists. My heart goes out to you. Good luck and keep us updated.
