<DIV>To all my fellow droolers, I wish to wish all of you my wishes that all had
marvelous a Christmas filled with love and happiness and peace. You all
are special to me, and I am glad to be a part of this wonderful group that is so
supportive and comforting and helpful. May God bless all of you and grant
you all the best for the upcoming new year. Ben and Charlie send snooters
to all the hounds out there. I hope that all of you had as nice
a holiday as we had at our house.</DIV>
