The crisis isn't over- but the prognosis is promising

Oh what a relief it is. A personal tragedy seems to have been averted.
One of my dogs, the female, Blacky, has been seriously ill for the past three weeks.
Physically she seemed fairly healthy and did not show any pain.  But she was eating little to nothing.
I thought it was most likely something stuck in her throat.  Possibly someone had given her a chicken bone.
The vet thought it was worms and gave her a series of shots.

After three weeks, the poor thing was just skin and bones and could not even climb the one step into the house.

Yesterday morning I had serious thoughts about 'putting her to sleep.'
I wonder if she sensed what I had contemplated.  At noon she started eating. And eating.
I was astonished,  I felt a tickling happy sensation.  Quite frankly I was overjoyed.
By evening she had regained enough energy that I no longer needed to assist her coming into the house.

The emotional discomfort I had been walking around with for the past three weeks vanished.
We shared a midnight snack, a bacon sandwich. She ate the bacon, I ate the sandwich.
When we were done eating she gate me that look: "Is that all there is?"
