<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I had to take Sapper to the vet today as the
quarter-sized hot spot he had 2 days ago blew up to one the size of a softball
with him chewing at it all night long. I gave him Benadryl, dabbed the
spot with Listerine and pinned a rolled towel around his neck but he whined
for hours anyway.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>While there, I asked to go see the basset with the
imbedded chain/collar. Despite the nasty wound (apparently the collar was
under the ruff/roll of loose skin of the neck and it would have been easy to
miss), she was such a happy little girl! Elder Clara's mom suggested Poppi
as her name, and as she was very bouncy--popping up all over--Poppi will fit
:)</FONT></DIV>
