We've just moved, our second in two years, mainly because at 72, I need to be nearer the town. Our gregarious tomboy female Crystal has taken it all in her stride, but Holly, 5lbs and tiny for 3 years has done nothing but take to her basket and won't eat or drink!

We are tempting her with fresh chicken and keep talking and cuddling her but she seems so sad. I thought of checking her out with the Vet maybe?

She's very strict about her day and I always have my afternoon snooze with her (we are both retired) but for the past month or so I have been really distressed by what became a real trauma in the house relocation and she has stopped barking or demanding me to be with her the last few days. Also she has a very loud demanding bark, which has completely ceased.

Tonight we are in the new place with boxes and chaos everywhere, both giving her lots of love, its so sad to behold?
