Well, little Desi has learned how he can get the e-collar off by himself. I would have gone to bed hours ago, but my younger sister called me and talked my ear off. Now I am in between being hungry/thirsty and being tired. It is after 3 am and I have an appt at 8:40 to get my hair cut. If we fall asleep in the recliner I will not wake up in time; if we go to bed, I am afraid that Desi will get his head out of the collar and start chewing his behind. Poor little guy…not sure how he got a rash there. He eats the same food all of the time. I think perhaps it goes to the bees that are around the bottle brush trees, the lantana that he might have sat on the leaves while watching little birds fly around…or ???? maybe he backed into a weed? Not really sure and this spray medicine smells…not really bad but just don’t know if I can sleep with him.
He is usually a good sleeper so hopefully sleeping four hours at the most he should keep the collar on. Almost think I should put a diaper on him. I have the tiniest size, but it might still be too big for him. But if he gets the e-collar off, then he could rip off the diaper also. Just going to go to bed and get a couple hours of sleep. After I get my hair cut then me, Judy, my friend Carmen and her mother are going to lunch together. I will have to drink lots of caffeine! It is good night from me, and probably some of you are already up.

I was just reading messages and read about your sister too. Goodness, that is a lot to have happening in your life all at one time. My heart goes out to you. You do sound peaceful and accepting and that will go a long way in your recovery. And of course, little Dolly and Desi will be fine and so so happy when you come home. Take care.. mj _____ From: Joan Croft <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Wed, May 11, 2011 11:45:32 PM Subject: RE: [Chihuahuas] Fwd: Me Thanks for the prayers.

With so many people and their prayers, I feel all will go just perfect. It's been proven; the more people praying, the better the outcome, and many, many of us will be doing that. Good luck to your little ones too, sounds as though you have arranged they will be wonderfully taken care of. Hugs, Lynn sage dated 5/5/2011 2:32:45 A.M.

They have round the clock boarding personnel, and I have heard that they all play with the little ones and that is why they come home and want to stay awake all night! LOL My neighbor will come over and help where needed. I just think I am going to have one heck of a headache.
