So Ralphie has been doing EXCELLENT
. He acts like he wants to lick every now and then but I just say "NO" and he stops and does something else. We have even gone several days without him even trying. So Bravo little Ralphie, ha ha.
Seriously though, it has been a MAJOR relief. I am not saying his problem is poof gone, but I am at least encouraged and see that he is capable of stopping this. Hopefully for good.
Thank you all so much for the advice...especially
lillymae (you are soo good to me and your advice and encouragement is so very much appreciated
).
