[COLOR="Teal"]Believe me, I'm not starving. I've got bread I can eat. The brakes are out on the van, so I can't go to the store, but my brother said he'd go for me this week if I need help. I did find a box of baby cereal, so that's a good idea. Thank you for reminding me I have it. I have some mac and cheese I thought I might try if I can work up the courage.

Thank you for the ideas on Belle. The problem with the baby gate is the way the apartment is made, I really have no place to put one that will be of benefit. I'm going to see if my friend, who can build about anything, can come up with an idea. Meanwhile, I'm going to clip on her leash anytime I have to open the door to talk to someone or step outside. She'll just have to get used to it.

Cake, I'm so sorry you lost your sister and that you were the one who found her. You and Christina have been through some horrible things.
