thanks for the good info. I googled "nosey cup" and it might work if I don't turn it to the wrong side. what a name it got me tickled. very descriptive but still funny. also looked up dysphagia. not sure I want to talk to my doc about that if he is going to want to stick a tube down my throat. still think it is more my tongue that spasms or something. anyway thanks.
love the picture of your pom too. looks real fluffy.
