bear's still wearing the prong collar. i didn't see it for a while, but when i got her out of her cage she had it on. i thought it was gone, so i was alarmed and dismayed. it could have caught on the cage and hurt her. and i hate those things anyway. bear was shaking her head, i think from swimming, and the flies were attacking her. i have to do my best and that's all i can do. the refrain not my dog, keeps playing in my brain.
