Disappointment with pet poodle

I took my poodle of 12 years to the vet for her first checkup and my vet has sadly advised me that I may have been the victim of a scam, i.e. she was never a poodle but is in fact a different species, perhaps a rare species of sheep. Is it common for mutton to be dressed up as poodle? I'm so upset I don't quite know what to do.
It does explain the patchy lawn and highly unusual 'bark' however.
What should I do?

Fair shout, Marg0. She gets fed, then you get fed.

It's not so common for mutton to be dressed up as poodle. Mutton is usually dressed up as lamb!

SO is your pet a dogsheep, as opposed to a sheepdog ?

Dogsheep, I think. Was always particularly poor at 'fetch'. It's all falling into place now.

when i saw this thread come up in the grey box i was only half paying attention and i thought it said 'disapointment with pot noodle, I was gonna tell you is was in the wrong category : (

Hence you disappointment, Marg0? Constantly having to go to and retrieve balls that you had thrown yourself, in the expectation that your pet might have wanted to join in the fun.

BTW ...

... is it Marg(zero), or Marg(capital letter o) ??
