<DIV>Well, Ben has been with us for 3 years now, and I wonder what has happened
to my once well behaved little basset hound. When he first came he was a
model of obedience, ave his fighting with Charlie and Cheyene. He would
come when called, eat his food, and do all sorts of nice things. Move
ahead a few years, and we have an entirely different dog. Let him out
at night to do his business, and I have to practically drag him in the
house. I can call until I am blue in the face, and he will not come.
He spends hours sitting on the couch arm looking for other dogs to come by, and
he barks his head off. One has to physically drag him from the window to
get him to stop. His meals now have to be doctored to get him to eat
with any amount of gusto. He has to be with me in the bathroom or he
whines and scratches at the door until I let him in. I just wonder what
happened. Did someone switch dogs in the night, or has he become
possessed? Well, I still love him, but wonder where this bassitude came
from. Gotta love them.</DIV>
