I'm just now reading of all your trials and tribulations Mary, and I certainly hope you're over beating yourself up for nothing. You're human, which means you're not perfect, and with umpteen dozen things on your mind at one time, is it any wonder that all this happened???

Anyway - I'm glad that Yodie is doing better - and she's probably acting depressed just because she has the collar on. She probably figures if she acts pathetic, it will get to Mom, then Mom will feel bad for poor old Yodie, and take the darn thing off! She's just giving herself a good old pity party!

Don't you think that you would just lay around and do nothing if you had a lampshade fastened around your neck???
