I'm sorry - I just got on the board now. Both Pucci and I did sleep last night (whew), but Pucci wouldn't drink water again this morning and continued to refuse to eat. He also started licking his stitches so I reluctantly put his cervical collar on. He looks like Mr. Pathetic.
Since Melinda was here today, I ran a quick errand, and brought back wraps for lunch and chicken breasts to boil for Pucci. I purposely put the bag containing the pastic-covered wraps on the floor - his nose was sniffing around in there. Melinda and I smiled at each other. We sat down to eat, pulling the wrap off - Pucci wolfed it down as fast as we could offer it to him.
Thank you for your concern.
