UPDATE ON 7/2/2000: My baby, Buster, got his bandage taken off yesterday. His tail sure looks ugly, but the vet says it is doing great. He has to wear his collar another week for the final healing to take place. He has been sleeping on my pillow every night, not leaving much room for me. He won't eat with the collar on, so we have to take it off and watch him while he eats. Needless to say, he has lost a couple of pounds over the last week or so. He seems to be doing fine and is sure taking advantage of his injury to get extra attention from his mom and dad. The funniest thing was when he fell behind the couch and got caught by his "satellite dish." He was dangling between the couch and the wall. Dad rescued him, of course!! We love our baby. Sherry
