Cookie is happily alive and kicking! We went to the vet on Friday who said 'she's a very bouncy guy', forgetting she was a girl! Her belly is still hard, but that'll go away.
This morning my husband went for a walk with my white Golden, bringing back some kind of a Labrador because she has been digging in the melting snow. That's the sign she's back to her old self: digging.

So sweet that you remembered my Cookie.
