Just a quick update: Calming collar on Sherpa (Or Sh**-pa, as his name is tonight) is massive fail. He bit me HARD. He decided he wasn't having it, and this is one battle I can't win. I don't know what went wrong....he wears a regular collar, I can pill him, trim his nails, etc.

Next strategy: Super-glue Sh**-pa to the ceiling.
