- I hate Guinness' e-collar (aka "The Cone") just as much as he does. Mostly because he's already a clutz and he's crashing into EVERYTHING with that stupid plastic cone. Including me. My shins have the bruises to prove it.
- I really need to get a job. I've totally given up caring about my appearance for the most part. Most days are either a sweatshirt and jeans day or a sweatpants and t-shirt day. I do little with my hair and lately even that involves a headband. I feel like a slob.
- My stomach is revolting against me from last week. Bob was gone for several days on business so I purchased all of the things that I like to eat but he does. It turns out those things are greasy as hell. Maybe thats why he doesn't like them. Lesson learned.
- A Jehovah's Witness rang my doorbell today. Luckily, she scampered off before I could wake up to get the door. However, I did have a pamphlet shoved through the crack and had a hearty laugh after looking at it. Apparently, by the look of the painting on the pamphlet..Jehovah's Witnesses think that Jesus looks exactly like Kevin Costner with a beard. Hmmmm...I doubt that!
- I've figured out that I can push our huge grill in front of the steps on the deck and then shoo Guinness outside. He's got the whole deck to run around on and I get a break. Sometimes thats really nice!
- McDonalds is truly of the devil. I tire of the temptation of fries or cheeseburgers or nuggets. Now they have Sweet Tea.....Damn you, McDonalds.
- Bob is driving me nuts with the wedding planning. I feel like this is TOTALLY not the wedding I wanted and we've waited until the last minute to plan everything. Now we sit down to make reservations and he feels like the cabins are too expensive. Bite the freakin bullet. Please!
- I watched "The Bridges of Madison County" today and was totally turned off. Clint Eastwood is so unattractive. And squinty. I don't like squinty.
- I ordered my cap and gown today from IPFW's bookstore. I've had to call 3 different times to get a manager because I was told that he was the only person that could approve a purchase over the phone. The girl today answered the phone and when I explained what I needed she got snotty and said, "Um.. You just need to come into the store." I said, "UM...I've relocated to North Carolina. Let me speak with your manager." She was like 'Oh..." Honestly..they all act as if its totally abnormal to not live right in Fort Wayne and be able to come to the store. People do move you know? Get real.
- Dog tongues are just so unlike cat tongues. Guinness has a slimy tongue. My cats have rough little tongues. I prefer the cats.

As for your first item, depending on how long Guinness has to wear the collar, you could try the Pro Collar, available at Petco. http://www.petco.com/product/100555/ProCollar-Premium-Inflatable-Protective-Collar.aspx.
It's a little pricey, but Bailey and my brother's dog, Casey, have MUCH preferred it over the standard e-collar. Good luck! Hope Guinness heals soon!
