I've got to tell you, even though the diapers are a pain... they save so much cleaning and stink. My house isn't quite back to normal, but little by little the odor is disappearing. The hard part now is being able to afford all the pads we use during the course of the day. I have to put two pads in the band to make sure it stays leak free, and a box of ten is five dollars... don't know what I'm going to do after tomorrow night... funds are nil about now. Oh well.. if nothing else, I'll find some rags or something to put in it until I get my check next month. I guess that's the least of my worries, right?

I'm concerned about Mike again. He didn't want to eat again yesterday. Outside of a few treats and a very little bit of chicken that he would only eat from my hand, he would eat nothing. I'm praying we're not going back in to the tough days again. Even with the leaking, I'm all right, but watching him not eat is heartbreaking.

Hey Debbie... Don't know what's up with Gidget... she's just a ball of fire with a mind of her own. I'm praying she calms a little bit and stops making messes... especially on the couch. She's no longer allowed on the couch, and it's a shame because she loves perching herself on the arm of it and looking out the door and window. She can't seem to figure out why she's not allowed up there.

Hope everyone has a beautiful day.
Love & Blessings

Sympathize with you on the house training. My mom had a Jack Russell who was a rescue and had had a rough start like Gidge. He would not housetrain, he had spent so much time in a kennel/run. I hope she straightens up soon. You have enough to do with Mike, poor pupper. My heart aches for you both. I just wish he could lose the diaper. Tell him I will probably join him in diapers sooner rather than later. My kids are already tossing a coin to see who will be in charge of me. LOL

Joanne, can you check with online sellers for the pads ? I know PetEdge and LuvNCare (or something like that) have really good prices. My mom's Gidget goes pee on pee pads and my mom orders from there and it saves her a bundle.

Hope Mike eats some more for you today. Give him some love from us !

Come on Mike, you gotta eat sweetie for your Mom so she doesn't worry.

The price on those pads is ridiculous. it seems like everything that is necessary is soooo expensive. I am going to look to see if I can find a source. Maybe a free one would be nice. What about cloth baby diapers? I know you would have to wash them, but maybe they would work in a pinch and then you would have to put rubber pants on him. Oh gosh, now that I think about it maybe that is not such a good idea.
