Thanks for your comments elise, and I've tried to say to Jade that's what I think it is too, I've seen a pic of the girlfriend and she's very boyish looking (not that I'm knocking the girl in any way, just that I think it is a jealousy thing) . Jade still hasn't been out

and is starting to worry me as she's turning down offers to go out with her closest friends, and I think it may cause problems with them too soon as they might get fed up of asking. I just wish this would all get sorted soon, as she can't spend the next 6 weeks stuck indoors - it's not healthy, and even if she does manage to 'hide herself away' what happens when she has to go out to get herself to school in sept ? Oh I don't know what the answer is, I wish I did, but I just seem to make matters worse everytime I ask her is she going out or what she wants to do each day !
As for Zak (my dog) the vet said that it was his 'anal glands' and they needed draining, he muzzled Zak, stuck a tube up his bum

and drained them, then gave him an injection, he did say they might fill up again and if so he would remove them as they are no use anyway. He also said Zak was chewing because the full glands would have been bothering him and that he'd gone bald because he's got dry skin, so he also has to have an Evening Primrose capsule every day too !
So at least one of the problems is sorted, just need to find a solution to the other now
