Mangia, Tina! I hate those dumb collars. Last time I had to wear one, my human cut it down to half width (it still covered my ouchie) so I could eat with it on, and I almost managed to take the doggone thing off - but then she stuck it back together with packing tape! But at least I could reach my food. Food is a major priority for me. Anyway, as far as I know, those icky collars are always temporary. Meanwhile, see if you can get your humans to hand-feed you! Look into their eyes and just think "turkey... turkey... turkey... pleeeeease?"

Love, Smudge
