Jake's collar

A week after I got back, I found Jake with his tongue stuck out to the side, attached to his collar. Apparently he'd been licking it and it frayed until his tongue got stuck. Once I realized it wasn't blood on his tongue (his collar is red), I cut through the back, hoping that would fix things. Unfortunately, it stayed on his tongue (and I was afraid to just tear it off). I called the vet but they couldn't get us in right away and he managed to get it off on his own. I called my mom and she recommended keeping him hydrated and watching him instead of taking him into the vet. Which was advice Jake could be happy with since he got to stay home and got his own little dishes of milk and yogurt:
