) but the symptoms you describe do sound concerning, and enough to warrant an "urgent same day appointment". I wonder if they're connected with her dental issues, and something has suddenly deteriorated in her mouth? Broken / infected / abcessed teeth can make us feel very unwell, so I'm guessing it's the same in dogs, and could definitely explain why she's such a fussy eater generally. How does her breath smell? If it's unpleasant, then that's another indication. I think you said she was 12? That is definitely a "senior" but small dogs (iirc she's a Pekinese?) often live for a very long time, well into their teens. 
Never mind, these things happen, one short night won't hurt, and I'll go to bed early tonight. I also need to break some tasks into small steps, so I feel I'm making progress.
( Texted 10/3 and still waiting for a reply over a month later ) Update: text him again first thing Monday, and if no reply by the end of the month, then definitely look for someone else (DF PM is also starting to become exasperated with his reluctance) no) Are they registered with the HCPC? Check their registration numbers to ensure they match! ( This should ensure I see someone who is properly qualified and adheres to straight levels of hygiene) Do I like the "feel" of the place from the website? Is it easy to get to?

Plus, I have A LOT OF payroll to do today: prep and teach, instructor meeting 1-1:40, make sub plans, review my final exam, create image and email out exit test results. Class Prep will take longer bc I'll be making some review materials. The exam is on Wednesday. 
A was great last year and the year before, and very enthusiastic, but now he seems to have decided he doesn't want to do anything any more. ( It's not just me, he's ignoring all his other customers as well. I know he's had a difficult time, as his GF threw him out last September, and I've tried to be understanding, as have all his other customers, but it's over 6 months now...) I feel I need to give him a chance before I move on, hence the gentle reminder today, but these jobs can't wait for ever - some of them have been waiting since last summer. So that's why I'm starting to look at more specialist companies for the important things. Most of these have a form to fill in online, so I've bookmarked their websites. I'm leaving contacting anyone else until after Easter, to give A a chance to reply. ATM, I think I'd be happy for anyone competent to just turn up!
